I was curious about how people with seizure disorders safely click links not knowing what lies ahead. Investigating the current best practices for building for epileptics, using this great resource (1) as my starting point.
This took me down a rabbit hole on current methods to detect seizure onset... I came across a very interesting journal article on applying ML in an implantable that can detect seizures within 3 seconds, which spurred my current research on less invasive detection methods. Like any good rabbit hole, I've strayed from the original mission.
Seizures seem scary and I don't want to give them to people, but the causes of their onset seem to be too nuanced and patient-specific to build with any guarantees. The best I can do is avoid the obvious and hope the cutting edge detection and mitigation research bears fruit.
