The Challenge
A data-driven digital diagnostics company needed to improve the diagnosis of central nervous system disorders such as dementia and ADHD using EEG data.
However:
- EEG data is highly complex, noisy, and multi-channel
- Manual analysis is time-consuming and requires expert interpretation
- Signals require extensive pre-processing and feature extraction
- Scaling diagnosis across patients and conditions is challenging
The client needed a solution to automate EEG signal analysis and enable accurate, scalable symptom detection.
A Day in the Life: Before Our Solution
A clinician reviews EEG recordings to diagnose neurological conditions. The process involves manually analysing complex waveforms across multiple channels, requiring deep expertise and time.
As the process unfolds:
- Signals are manually filtered and interpreted
- Identifying patterns requires significant experience and effort
- Variability in interpretation can lead to inconsistent diagnoses
- Scaling diagnosis across many patients becomes resource-intensive
For the organisation:
- Diagnosis workflows are slow and labour-intensive
- Expert dependency limits scalability and throughput
- Early detection opportunities may be missed
๐ The result: inefficient diagnostic processes and limited scalability of neurological assessment.
