If you can, you must: How MJN Seras is creating impact during the coronavirus

MJN Neuroserveis was born from the efforts of a father trying to make life easier for his daughter, who has a form of epilepsy that is resistant to drug treatment.

It is essentially an electroencephalogram, or EEG, constantly monitoring brain activity, and communicating with a person’s smartphone. Using a personalised algorithm developed by MJN Neuroserveis, the system delivers a warning of an imminent seizure at least one minute before it occurs, enabling the person to get to a safe position before it happens.

The COVID-19 crisis has caused some delays for the company, based in Girona, Spain.
