Epilepsy Foundation 2014 Shark Tank Competition
The Epilepsy Foundation awarded three winners of the 2014
Shark Tank competition for innovation in the treatment and care of epilepsy at
the 2014 Epilepsy Pipeline Conference. The winning product was given to Oren
Knopfmacher, PhD, for a device to monitor anti-seizure drug levels in saliva. The
“Audience Choice” winner, a smartphone app to detect seizures, stemmed from a
school science fair project by 13-year-old Amir Helmy. The competition helps incentivize inventors
and entrepreneurs to further the development of products or treatments for managing
epilepsy in a meaningful timeframe.
