The Cleveland Clinic has teamed up with San Francisco-based startup Piramidal to create a large-scale AI model aimed at monitoring brain health in intensive care units (ICUs). This system, unlike traditional text-based AI models, utilizes electroencephalogram (EEG) data to detect and interpret brain activity in real-time. The collaboration seeks to address the current limitations faced by healthcare professionals who rely on continuous EEG monitoring to detect anomalies such as seizures or changes in consciousness, which are typically reported every 12 to 24 hours. By providing immediate alerts on brain health changes, this AI model is designed to allow for quicker medical interventions. Founded by neuroengineer Dimitris Fotis Sakellariou and former Google and Spotify product strategist Kris Pahuja, Piramidal has secured $6 million in seed funding, with backing from Y Combinator. The model is built on a vast dataset of EEG recordings, including proprietary data from the Cleveland Clinic. The team is currently refining the model with retrospective data and plans to test it in a controlled ICU environment before a wider rollout.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
