NC med student creates device for people living with epilepsy
A medical school student created a new tool for people living with epilepsy.
The CDC says 3.4 million people are diagnosed with epilepsy, with North Carolina having one of the highest rates.
“This gives them sort of control over what they really can’t control,” said Ashlyn Sanders, a student at the Wake Forest School of Medicine.
Sanders invented the NuroVice, a device aimed at improving the qualify of life of people with epilepsy.
>> Channel 9′s Gina Esposito learned it’s now being piloted at Atrium Health. She explains how that device works and who can benefit from it, in the video at the top of the page.
If you are interested in the PATI, Sanders said you can reach out to her company, NeuroVice, so they can work with your medical provider on getting you a prescription.
