Where freedom begins.

One day there will be more freedom from the drugs, unpredictability, tiredness, fear and anxiety that is epilepsy.

We are working to make that day a reality.

One day there will more freedom from the drugs, unpredictability, tiredness, fear and anxiety that is epilepsy.

We are working to make that day a reality.

Our story begins with a boy’s heartbreak at seeing his father’s struggle with epilepsy.

This boy became Professor Mark Cook, a global expert in neurology, who created cutting edge epilepsy treatments for over 30 years.

His research has now culminated into the Minder® system, currently under evaluation. We are now validating how this technology could reveal unseen epileptic episodes, and give clinicians crucial data to improve treatment.

“My father was a chef. When he developed epilepsy as an adult, it devastated his career and his passion. I have memories of him dealing with the drugs, the loss of purpose and not being the person who he used to be.”

Our mission is to improve treatment using previously unseen data.

We have the tools to create a system which may give new hope for more freedom from epilepsy.

The key to improving treatment is gaining more unseen data. I warmly invite you to connect with us, to see how you can contribute towards freedom for sufferers.

The Drugs

Drug therapy is uncertain because diaries cannot be trusted.

“No matter how studious or careful I am, there’s little hope that I know how many seizures I have or when I have them.”

The latest studies show that many seizures go undetected.

Current technology captures a snapshot in time and fails to provide a complete picture of brain activity.

A million tremors

Anxiety, uncertainty and stress are the common emotions people with epilepsy feel. We believe that these emotions lead to more episodes, which is why our solution must provide more comfort and confidence. This can come from more predictability, seeing data in real-time, knowing what is happening and sharing that data with clinicians and physicians for greater collaboration on treatment. This will culminate in giving patients more inclusiveness with their treatment, empowering them like never before.

"There’s that halo, the fog, a tiredness where people consider you’re weak or you’re a complainer. It’s almost like they think it is all in your head. No I say, it’s in my brain.

And I need drugs – a lot of drugs that are about as toxic as chemo – to just be here in this moment. It’s frightening to think what they are doing to me.”

“It was a chance to be together with dad. A visit to the beach, which was just bliss. But then a seizure came and I hit my head on a rock.

I’ve heard of mothers being terrified of dropping their babies, or parents not able to let their kids even enjoy a swing.

I don’t know if want to be a mum or not.”

I told my doctor I’m getting better, just 2 episodes this month. But then he showed me an EEG print-out with what looked like millions of tremors. When is a blank stare, just a blank stare? How often when I am alone for a moment do I not realise I have had an episode?

It’s like an ongoing game of snakes and ladders. Trialling a different drug, new mixes, getting better, more freedom and suddenly, going back to square one.”

Towards predictability

 

Current research suggests that one day we will be able to predict seizures with dependable certainty.

And then go a step further with precision treatment to reduce drugs.

With the ultimate goal to forecast seizure free zones to enjoy more freedom.
