Researchers from the Personalized Digital Health and Telemedicine Group at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) will present seven scientific contributions at the 64th Annual Meeting of the German Society for Epileptology (DGfE) in Würzburg.

The accepted contributions highlight our group’s interdisciplinary research at the intersection of artificial intelligence, digital health, computer vision, wearable sensing, and clinical epileptology. Our work focuses on the development of digital biomarkers and AI-based analysis methods to improve the monitoring, diagnosis, and understanding of epilepsy.

Research Topics

The presented studies cover several emerging directions in AI-driven epilepsy research, including:

Contactless measurement of vital parameters using camera-based sensing technologies
3D human pose estimation for video-EEG monitoring to analyze seizure-related body movements
Eye-tracking metrics for cognitive assessment in epilepsy, including contextualized analysis of visual search strategies
Effects of anti-seizure medication on eye-tracking parameters in patients with epilepsy
Eye tracking during the Trail Making Test and its association with depressive symptoms
Secure and trustworthy AI models for seizure detection using wearable devices
Electrocardiographic changes under cenobamate therapy based on extended ECG recordings

These contributions reflect ongoing collaborations between computer scientists, physicists, neurologists, and clinical researchers at the University Hospital Bonn and partner institutions.

A large part of the work has been carried out by PhD students and early-career researchers, demonstrating the strong integration of young scientists in our research activities.

We look forward to presenting our work in Würzburg and discussing these results with colleagues from the international epilepsy research and digital medicine community.
