New framework for Epilepsy Benchmarks presented at MHDTE
Yesterday we presented our work on a unified framework for the validation of epileptic seizure detection algorithms at MHDTE. This should finally give us the tools to build a benchmark of the best algorithms. Check it out on https://eslweb.epfl.ch/epilepsybenchmarks/
ACM Fellow Prof. Atienza: Shaping Sustainable Computing & Edge AI
David Atienza, director of the EPFL EcoCloud Center, was interviewed by the organisation Association for Computer Machinery (ACM) on the occasion of a presentation that he gave as a Distinguished Speaker and Fellow. Here is a summary of that conversation. While a core focus of your research has been embedded systems, you have branched out (…)
A Wearable System for Real-Time Detection of Epileptic Seizures
The EPFL Technology Transfer Office has released the following information about e-Glass, a groundbreaking device for epileptic seizure detection, which is open for license. Read more about our work on epilepsy monitoring Despite recent advances in anti-epileptic drugs, one-third of the people with epilepsy continuous to experience seizures. e-Glass is a new wearable system for (…)
David Atienza interviewed on the future of data centers
Prof. David Atienza explained to HiPEAC why sustainable computing represents much more than just energy efficiency, and argues that a much more targeted use of computing is the way forward: We need to dramatically change the way we build and use computers
Talk on monitoring and managing data centers with IoT
Prof. David Atienza gave a talk at the Intelligent Maintenance Conference which was held at EPFL in September. Prof. David Atienza examined the inefficient monitoring and management of data centers, and how they can impact both energy costs for the sustainability of our planet and the reliability of data center services. In this talk he (…)
x-heep – designing healthcare devices of the future
The advancement of continuous healthcare monitoring depends on the development of new and more efficient ultra-low power wearable platforms as well as new algorithms. However, the teams that develop the algorithms are usually not the same as those that design the platforms, thus, optimization opportunities are often lost in the way. Not less importantly, the (…)
ESL Open Days
We had a stand at the Open Days, in the Electricity building. It was a great success: thanks to all involved.
epiPhone – discretely monitoring brain activity
We are proud to present epiPhone, a discreet headset which can monitor brain activity and transmit the data in real time. Today, epilepsy is one of the most common chronic diseases affecting more than 65 million people worldwide. However, no reliable wearable device currently exists for real-time epileptic seizure detection. One of the main challenges (…)
Sensemodi and Nespresso challenge presented at Engineering Industry Day
Jérôme Thevenot, Matteo Feo and David Atienza participated in the EPFL Engineering Industry Day at the SwissTech on Thursday, 8th March. Jérôme presented ESL spin-off Sensemodi, featuring an in-motion, knee diagnosis platform. David and Matteo presented the Nespresso challenge, where ESL addressed the need to use Machine Learning enabled Artificial Intelligence to identify coffee capsules (…)
