In 2008, a group of clinicians, scientists, engineers, and industry representatives met to discuss advances in the application of engineering technologies to the diagnosis and treatment of patients with epilepsy. The presentations also provided a guide for further technological development, specifically in the evaluation of patients for epilepsy surgery, seizure onset detection and seizure prediction, intracranial treatment systems, and extracranial treatment systems. This article summarizes the discussions and demonstrates that cross-disciplinary interactions can catalyze collaborations between physicians and engineers to address and solve many of the pressing unmet needs in epilepsy.
2008年,一群临床医生、科学家、工程师和行业代表齐聚一堂,讨论工程技术在癫痫患者诊断和治疗中的应用进展。这些报告还为进一步的技术发展提供了指导,特别是在癫痫手术患者评估、癫痫发作起始检测和发作预测、颅内治疗系统以及颅外治疗系统方面。本文总结了这些讨论,并表明跨学科互动能够促进医生和工程师之间的合作,以解决癫痫领域许多迫切未满足的需求。
