    Artificial Intelligence for Diagnosing Focal Epilepsy: A collaborative project to co-develop an information sheet with patients and their families

    At UCL, Dr Konrad Wagstyl and Dr Sophie Adler co-lead the MELD project, an international collaboration between epilepsy hospitals worldwide, which creates AI tools to assist in the identification of epilepsy causing abnormalities on MRI scans. In collaboration with Dr Jonny O’Muircheartaigh (a neuroscientist at KCL) and epilepsy charities (Epilepsy Research UK and Young Epilepsy), the team set out to find out how patients and their families feel about this type of research and to work with them to co-create an information sheet about the MELD Project.
