Utah Patent of the Month – March 2025
Epitel, Inc. has secured U.S. Patent No. 12,239,450, titled “Adaptive systems and methods for seizure detection and confidence indication” marking a significant advancement in wearable EEG technology. This innovation introduces a wireless, AI-powered system designed to detect seizures in real time, offering a transformative tool for epilepsy management.
Revolutionizing Seizure Monitoring with AI and Wearable Tech
The patented system employs discreet, wireless EEG sensors placed on the scalp to continuously monitor brain activity. Leveraging adaptive algorithms, it identifies various seizure types across diverse patient profiles. A notable feature is its confidence indication mechanism, which assesses the reliability of each detection, enhancing clinical decision-making.
This technology aims to shift seizure monitoring from hospital settings to patients’ daily environments, enabling continuous, non-invasive observation. Such accessibility is poised to improve diagnostic accuracy, personalize treatment plans, and reduce the need for extended hospital stays.
Implications for Patients and Healthcare Providers
For individuals with epilepsy, this development promises greater autonomy and improved quality of life through proactive seizure management. Healthcare providers stand to benefit from timely, accurate data, facilitating more informed treatment strategies.
Epitel’s innovation aligns with the broader trend of integrating AI into healthcare, emphasizing personalized, patient-centric solutions. As the medical community continues to embrace such technologies, the potential for enhanced patient outcomes and streamlined care becomes increasingly attainable.

What is the R&D Tax Credit?
The Research & Experimentation Tax Credit (or R&D Tax Credit), is a general business tax credit under Internal Revenue Code section 41 for companies that incur research and development (R&D) costs in the United States. The credits are a tax incentive for performing qualified research in the United States, resulting in a credit to a tax return. For the first three years of R&D claims, 6% of the total qualified research expenses (QRE) form the gross credit. In the 4th year of claims and beyond, a base amount is calculated, and an adjusted expense line is multiplied times 14%. Click here to learn more.
