More than 50 million people worldwide live with epilepsy. For most of them every day carries an invisible threat — a seizure that could arrive without warning while driving, swimming, cooking or sleeping. The unpredictability is not just frightening. It shapes every decision about how to live.

For decades the only way to monitor brain activity required hospital visits, electrode caps and overnight stays in neurological units that most people cannot access regularly.

An Israeli scientist named Orin Shriki decided that was not good enough.

His company NeuroHelp built an AI headband that reads brainwaves while you sleep at home and predicts seizures hours before they happen. No hospital. No electrodes. No clinic appointment. Already used by Israeli Air Force pilots and truck drivers to monitor fatigue in real time — now being brought to the people who need it most.

The goal is a brain thermometer in every home. This conversation explains why that is closer than you think.
