The Epilepsy Foundation is using competition to promote
innovation in treatment for epilepsy. Over 500 internationally based teams
competed in two challenges to use crowdsourced data to more accurately predict
and detect seizures. The winners were announced in December and are innovators
in a variety of fields including mathematics, software engineering, medicine
and biostatistics. The Foundation hopes this type of competition will
complement traditional approaches to treatment by utilizing shared data and
algorithms from the communities outside neurology.
