Pediatric epileptologists Kristina Julich, MD, and Daniel Freedman, DO, were selected by Dell Med and UT Austin’s IC2 Institute to receive $150,000 for research that will advance the responsible development of AI to improve health outcomes and reduce health disparities. Their proposal was one of four funded projects selected from 39 proposals submitted by UT interdisciplinary research teams.
Julich and Freedman’s project, “Developing an AI-Based Diagnostic Tool for Epilepsy in Low-Resource Areas,” involves creating a seizure diagnostic tool that approximates the diagnostic algorithm of a trained epilepsy expert clinician. They plan to use this tool as part of the screening process for their existing epilepsy outreach project to improve access to epilepsy care in rural areas of Texas.
