Relive the #BIDays in pictures! 📷 Under the overarching theme, “Navigating the Brain Across a Lifetime”, the event — held in Brussels on 13-14 November 2024 — brought together key opinion leaders & stakeholders. The event examined the journey our brains take across our lifespans, from perinatal to advanced age. Have a look at the photo gallery 👉 https://lnkd.in/gb6K2GRp 📷 Barth Decobecq

🎉 Find out more about the winners of the 2024 Brain Innovation Days Best Poster and Best Innovative Showcase! 🏆 The Best Poster: STRATUM Project, presented by Raquel León The proposed tool is a Point-of-Care computing system based on multimodal data processing using #AI for improving brain tumour surgeries. The expected long-term impact of STRATUM is to reduce the duration of surgical procedures, thus decreasing patients’ risks, but also optimising the resources of European health care systems. 🌟The Best Innovative Showcase: IDUN Technologies, presented by Simon Bachmann and Moritz Thielen This project investigated EEG correlates for cognitive load measured by the IDUN Guardian brain-sensing (in-ear EEG) earbuds. The Guardian Earbuds measure high-quality EEG signals from inside of the ear canal, enabling the development of mobile and intuitive brain-computer interface audio products that integrate seamlessly into lifestyle audio products. Congratulations to both winners for demonstrating how innovative solutions in #BrainHealth can inspire progress and support people with brain conditions, clinicians and society alike!

💬 "Globally, we have about 33,000 neurologists. It sounds like a big number, but it's certainly not enough to treat the 1 billion people living with migraine worldwide." In the latest BrainTalks episode, Sam Pauly sat down with Dr. Karen D. Carr (AbbVie), Dr. Reto Agosti & Frédéric Destrebecq (European Brain Council) to shed light on the many challenges faced by people living with #migraine, from diagnosis delays to access to proper care, and explore policy recommendations at both national and EU level. Tune in to discover how strategic policy actions and clinical innovation can help tackle the burden posed by migraine. Whether you're a healthcare professional, a policymaker, a patient, or an advocate, this episode has something for you! 👉 Listen now to "Breaking Barriers in Migraine Care: Clinical and Policy Perspectives": https://lnkd.in/eenkhCES

What an energising day filled with insightful discussions and ground-breaking ideas during #BIDays day 2 in Brussels! The day brought about a variety of sessions sharing #innovative insights in the #brain space!     🧠 Brain Talk speakers presented on topics such as #migraine and women in society, patient data-sharing avenues and how digital #health tools can revolutionise traditional models of care, gender and diversity in #neurology, as well as the future of precision medicine for mental health disorders.     🌟 The engaging discussions between experts in the field revolved around #neurotechnologies challenges and opportunities, current research in migraine and how to elevate its standard of care. Further sessions looked into how technological advances are revolutionising the diagnosis and management of #neurological disorders and others explored how EU policies can accelerate #innovation in the brain space, how to invest in brain development and how protecting our planet plays a role in preserving our health.    🎤 Day 2 also opened the floor to 5 start-ups that presented their innovative solutions to better the lives of people living with brain conditions. Congratulations to the winners BrainTale and Paperbox Health for the jury and public award!     The day concluded with a closing reception, celebrating another successful year of Brain Innovation Days.
