NINscan-SE
Device Description
NINscan-SE is a multi-modal physiological recording system originally developed for NASA. It has been demonstrated for use in brain monitoring and imaging, ambulatory/exercise settings, polysomnography, first responder physiological monitoring, and during football tackling, among other applications. The wide range of physiological sensors on a robust, mobile platform has strong potential to be combined with machine learning algorithms to improve seizure detection and warning capabilities for epilepsy patients.
