Patients can now talk back to their epilepsy monitor — and it cut false alarms by about 80%

At the University of Pennsylvania, people being monitored for epilepsy tried something new: a phone app that lets them ask questions about their own brain data and flag moments that matter. The system learned from their answers, and its false alarms fell by about 80%. The NIH-funded team says putting patients in the conversation could make monitoring kinder and far less exhausting.
