System and apparatus for early detection, prevention, containment or abatement of spread abnormal brain activity

摘要

A method, comprising detecting an epileptic event in a neural network, wherein the event occurs in a first node; identifying a second node; and applying a therapy to the second node or any connection. A method, comprising determining a first body index indicative of epileptic activity; monitoring a second body index; detecting an indication of activity spread, based upon at least the second body index; and taking a responsive action, such as delivering therapy, modifying therapy, logging the indication, or warning. A method, comprising detecting an epileptic event in a first node of a neural network; applying a first therapy to a first neural structure for treating the event; and applying a second therapy to a second neural structure of the patient based on an event spread proclivity to a third neural structure. A non-transitive, computer-readable storage device for storing data that when executed by a processor, perform a method.

主权项

1. A non-transitive, computer-readable storage device for storing data that when executed by a processor, perform a method, comprising:
determining a first body index indicative of an epileptic activity in a patient; monitoring a second body index different from the first body index, in response to said determining; detecting an indication of epileptic activity spread in a brain of the patient, based upon at least said second body index, comprising determining a spread quotient relating to said epileptic event, said spread quotient comprising information relating to at least one or more of a probability of a spread of said epileptic activity, a speed of said spread of said epileptic activity, a location of said epileptic activity, or a direction of said spread of said epileptic event; and taking a responsive action in response to said detecting, wherein said responsive action is selected from delivering a therapy to at least one neural structure of said patient, modifying a therapy to at least one neural structure of said patient, logging said indication of spread, or warning said patient, a caregiver, or a medical professional of said indication of spread.
