International Neurology ServicesTM is a not-for-profit service dedicated to improving access to quality EEGs across the globe.  Its goal is to not only push back the darkness of epilepsy, but to bring epilepsy to light. INS is committed to improving both the diagnosis and treatment of epilepsy in developing countries.

INS brings EEG machine to developing nations, trains them how to do this much needed study, and then transmits the files back to the US to be interpreted by highly trained neurologists.  This allows epilepsy patients who have never even seen doctors to get quality testing, and then they can be treated with locally available anti-epileptic medications.

Epilepsy

According to the World Health Organization

  • Epilepsy affects over 50 million people worldwide
  • Close to 80% of these patients are in developing countries
  • 80% of these patients go untreated
  • As many as 70% of patients can be treated if given the right diagnosis and treatment
  • An EEG machine can help in the diagnosis of Epilepsy, and help show that there is a true brain disorder that can be treated
  • Epilepsy is misunderstood in many developing nations. Often patients with this condition are though to have demonic possession, and become outcasts in their society. Many people fear they can catch this disease by touching a patient with it, so these patients lose the opportunity of every having a good job, or even being part of the community.
  • Little do these people know that for just pennies a day, there is life saving medication available
  • Physicians in these countries are having to treat these patients, and often times don’t have all of the facts. An EEG machine can change all of this.
