The tools include an AI algorithm designed to pinpoint seizure hotspots, enabling physicians to determine the most effective treatment faster and with greater precision.

“We created an AI tool that automatically analyzes EEG recordings during brain surgeries and accurately identifies true high-frequency brain waves associated with the areas of the brain thought to be the source of seizures while eliminating fake high brain waves caused by artifacts,” said Nuri Ince, PhD, a consultant in Mayo Clinic’s Department of Neurologic Surgery and senior author of a study on the AI-based tools.

The study was published in Nature, according to a Nov. 25 press release from Mayo Clinic.

At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
