Epilepsy, multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease all fall into the category of neurological diseases. They involve disruption of the nervous system, which is responsible for our thoughts and actions, and bring the body into imbalance. Although these disorders remain mysterious, artificial intelligence can help neurology specialists understand them better, giving medical teams the possibility of intervening earlier and in a more targeted manner.

Unique in Canada, the CHUM SERVO stands apart through the integration of AI and connected objects into treatment and neurology research. Using these powerful statistical tools, artificial intelligence and the expertise of renowned scientists, it will facilitate the early detection of neurological diseases, the prediction of potential complications, and the identification of the most suitable treatments for each individual.

“Your support will contribute to setting up a structured environment for the meshing of information that has already been gathered, and to systematizing the gathering of data from the 24,000-odd annual visits recorded by the CHUM neurology department. Two unique platforms are also being brought into the project: a connected object platform and a virtual reality platform. By donating, you will move research forward—research that is an important source of hope for our patients.”

— Dr. Dang Khoa Nguyen, head of the CHUM neurology department
