Epilepsy treatment and diagnosis in Ireland can be unforgiving, especially for families in rural areas. Like many countries, Ireland’s centralised healthcare model forces families to travel for outdated, time-consuming and invasive EEG procedures, and Epi-Tech’s research showed a clear pattern of frustration caused by the current system. The company proposes a solution that eliminates unnecessary travel and improves the overall EEG experience, by creating a seamless system that prioritises patient experience as well as that of their families.
