Thank you to the scientists who gave me more insights into the racial biases behind EEGs and other medical devices: @AchutaKadambi, @shannon47burns, Dr. Katherine Stavropoulous, and Dr. Lauren Whitehurst
Doctors use the EEG to diagnose all kinds of stuff in our brains, including epilepsy and strokes. But there's a problem: It's been failing a lot of Black patients for years. Today, we talk to two young, Black scientists who are doing something about it. https://t.co/111ci3kMhg
@DrWaleSulaiman Hi Dr. Sulaiman, thank you for your reply. Would you be available for a phone call sometime in January to talk about this? If so, please message me. Happy Holidays!
@ToriPea3@motherofneurons @Meliseymo Hi Tori, I’m a producing an audio story about racial biases behind EEG tech. I wanted to know if you'd be willing to share your EEG experience. If so, please message me 🙂
@PatSulaimanRNZ Hi Patricia, I'm producing an audio story about racial biases behind EEG tech. I've tried to reach your husband via email. Based on his or your expertise, I wanted to ask about EEG tests causing difficulties for people of color in African countries.
