An artificial intelligence (AI) brain diagnosis platform called “Neuromatch,” developed by Professor Jinhyung Lee of Stanford University in the United States, has been selected as a winner of the Edison Awards, often referred to as the “Oscars of Innovation.”

The Edison Awards judging committee announced on the 25th (local time) that Neuromatch, created by Elvis, the startup founded by Professor Lee, has been selected as a final award nominee in the “AI-Enhanced Diagnostics” category of the Health, Medical & Biotech segment at this year’s Edison Awards. The Edison Awards select three finalists in each category and, after final review, confer gold, silver, and bronze medals. The final results will be announced at the Edison Awards ceremony to be held in April this year in Fort Myers, Florida, United States.

Neuromatch, developed by Professor Lee, is a technology that uses AI to automatically analyze electroencephalogram (EEG) test data and detect abnormal signals. EEG is a test that measures the brain’s electrical activity and is used to determine whether various regions of the brain are “functioning” properly. Until now, after EEG measurements, medical staff had to review the data for hours, but Neuromatch has shortened this process to just a few minutes. It can help physicians diagnose brain disorders such as epilepsy and dementia more effectively. The platform has already received certification from both the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety.

After graduating from the Department of Electrical Engineering at Seoul National University and majoring in electrical engineering at Stanford’s graduate school, Professor Lee changed his career path to brain research following his grandmother’s stroke.

The Edison Awards, for which Neuromatch has been honored, were established in 1987 and named after Thomas Edison, the inventor of the light bulb. The awards evaluate products that have been actually launched in the market and are improving people’s lives. In addition to Neuromatch, Samsung Electronics’ “Bespoke AI All-in-One Combo” and “Samsung Smart Modular House” have also been named as final nominees in the “Human-Centered Home Solutions” category at this year’s Edison Awards.
