August 2024Abstract
BrainFuseNet enhances wearable seizure detection by fusing EEG, PPG, and accelerometer signals, combining complementary physiological and motion information to reduce artifact-induced false alarms while maintaining high seizure sensitivity. The system is co-designed for efficient edge deployment on ultra-low-power processors, validated on clinical data, and demonstrates real-time operation within the power budget of long-term wearable epilepsy monitoring.

Making AI run on microwatts: I build foundation models for EEG, ECG, and other biosignals, and compress them until they run in real time on wearable devices, not in the cloud.
