Studies applying AI to diagnosing and managing Epilepsy between 2000 and 2023.

Year Authors Research Questions Outcome Measures/Conclusions
2023 [40] Zheng Z. et al. Can EEG Deep Features and Machine Learning Classifiers assess and prognostically analyze KCNQ2 patients by combining the two well-trained models, RESNET-15 and RESNET-18, to extract deep features of EEG? An outcome of 79% accuracy was reported in pediatric patients.
2023 [41] Wang H. et al. Can the multi-technique deep learning method WAE-Net use clinical data and multi-contrast MR imaging [T2WI and FLAIR images combined as FLAIR3 images] to forecast antiseizure medication treatment in a retrospective study involving 300 children with tuberous sclerosis complex-related epilepsy? The hybrid technique of FLAIR3 could accurately localize tuberous sclerosis complex lesions, and the proposed method achieved the best performance [area under the curve = 0.908 and accuracy of 0.847] in the testing cohort among the compared methods.
2023 [42] Asadi-Pooya A. et al. Can AI machine learning methods reliably differentiate idiopathic generalized epilepsy from focal epilepsy using easily accessible and applicable clinical history and physical examination data? This algorithm aimed at easing epilepsy classification for individuals whose epilepsy began at age 10 and older. The stacking classifier led to better results than the base classifier in general. Precision was 81%, sensitivity was 81%, and specificity was close to 77%.
2023 [43] Tveit J. et al. Can the artificial intelligence program SCORE-AI [Standardized Computer-based Organizing Reporting of EEG] be developed and validated to distinguish abnormal from normal EEGs, detect focal epilepsy epileptiform discharges and generalized epilepsy, and distinguish focal nonepileptiform and diffuse nonepileptiform EEGs? SCORE-AI accuracy approached human expert-level and fully automated interpretation of routine EEGs. Accuracy was approximately 88.3%, significantly higher than the three previously published models comparing EEG interpretation to human experts.

Gustavo T. et al. In patients diagnosed with epilepsy wearing the mjn-SERAS brain activity sensor, can AI create a personalized mathematical model for the programmed recognition of oncoming seizures before they start using patient-specific EEG training data? The AI program accurately detected pre- and interictal EEG segments in drug-resistant epilepsy patients.
