Project Overview

AURA is an open-source, collaborative, non-profit project. Our mission is to develop a connected device that detects early signs of seizures to alert patients and caregivers.

Living Lab and Open Science Approach

The La Teppe medical facility serves as a unique Living Lab1 in France, allowing us to:

  1. 🧪 Test patient adoption of the connected patch
  2. 🔬 Validate the effectiveness of the seizure detection system in real-world conditions
  3. 🩺 Quickly evaluate the integration of these medical devices into medical practices and patient care

Our project follows an Open Science approach, which enables:

  • Development of an affordable medical device for patients
  • Ensuring reproducibility of medical research
  • Accelerating medical research by providing documented and reusable software and hardware components
  • Guaranteeing ethical practices through transparency in personal data usage and AI algorithm functioning

Project Partners

  • 🏥 La Teppe Clinical Research Unit --- Leading the clinical aspects of the project
  • ⚖ Rothschild Foundation --- Overseeing regulatory and ethical aspects
  • 💻 AURA --- A team of software and hardware engineers developing AI algorithms and the patch
  • 🧠 University of Grenoble --- Psychology and Neurocognition Laboratory supporting patient acceptability research
  • 📊 University of Nantes --- Analyzing the development of digital tools for big data exploitation and their impact on personalized medicine practices
