Eysz Announces Investment by Epilepsy Alliance America to Advance its AI-based Epilepsy Management Platform

By: PRLog

SAN FRANCISCO - June 15, 2021 - PRLog -- Eysz, a startup developing a digital health platform to enable personalized medicine for neurological disorders starting with epilepsy, announced today that Epilepsy Alliance America, a nation-wide network of community-based epilepsy organizations dedicated to confronting the spectrum of challenges created by seizures, has made an investment in Eysz's via its Regulation Crowdfunding offering (Reg. CF) currently listed on the Bioverge Portal, LLC. The Reg CF offering (details available at https://biovergeportal.com/startups/30-eysz-inc) will allow everyone, accredited and non-accredited investors, the opportunity to invest in the further development of Eysz's Epilepsy Management Platform.

Eysz is developing an AI-based software solution that analyzes passive eye-movements from compatible eye-tracking systems to assist clinicians in understanding their patient's seizure burden and neurocognitive side effects, enabling them to create a more personalized care plan. Current standard of care relies on patient-report data for epilepsy treatment outcomes which is < 50% accurate and does not give doctors the reliable data they need to accurately measure treatment outcomes. For people with epilepsy, this cycle results in a prolonged trial-and-error treatment cycle leading to poor quality of life, poor treatment adherence, and excessive costs.

Rachel Kuperman, MD, Founder & CEO of Eysz, stated, "We are humbled by the Epilepsy Alliance America for their investment, which demonstrates a vote of confidence in our team to bring forward a solution with the potential to improve outcomes for people with epilepsy. We chose to raise this capital via Reg CF because we saw it as an opportunity to bring all stakeholders in the epilepsy community together on a shared issue that impacts outcomes for everyone."

Jeff Sinsebox, President of Epilepsy Alliance America stated, "This investment in Eysz, which supports the development of a patient-centric management system that can potentially help improve outcomes, is in line with our mission to promote the independence and quality of life for people with epilepsy and their families. The Alliance was founded by the uniting of multiple leading grassroots epilepsy organizations with a shared mission to provide direct support to people with epilepsy and the people who care for them. Eysz's equity crowdfunding campaign is an opportunity for the community to come together in the same spirit."
