CiDrep SickKids Foundation Research
The CiDrep SickKids Research is studying the clinical, neuroimaging, and genomic factors strongly associated with epilepsy and seizure disorders in children. To conduct our research, we are studying clinical data to identify early biomarkers and disease trajectories. We are also measure timely interventions that improve long-term outcomes. We are developing machine learning models to identify children at the highest risk for recurrent seizures, status epilepticus, or hospital readmission within 12 months of diagnosis.
The CiDrep SickKids Foundation is a State of Georgia–based public 501(c)(3) charity and nonprofit child health research organization. We conduct and translate groundbreaking computational research while supporting national scientific communities with knowledge and resources. The Foundation receives, manages, and distributes funds, and income derived from those funds, to benefit hospitals providing pediatric care, medical research organizations, and individuals in need of medical care, research support, or other activities that advance child health.
Work Alongside AI/ML Biomedical and Health Sciences Researchers
We are particularly motivated by the opportunity to use machine learning to develop artificial intelligence that combine clinical, genomic, and neuroimaging to uncover hidden drivers of epilepsy.

So how do these good things happen? The ability to apply machine learning responsibly, with transparency and fairness, is central to our mission of improving pediatric health outcomes across the United States.
