We convened an electroencephalography and epilepsy think tank in Blantyre, Malawi, bringing together American pediatric neurologist clinical researchers and Malawian clinicians. We worked with the aim of improving care for children with seizures and epilepsy in southern Malawi. By sharing and discussing ideas, six United States-based researchers and six Malawian end users developed consensus for directions of both current and future clinical research activities. Compared with our previous use of informal one-to-one discussions to generate research ideas, we found the structured think tank useful for generating ideas and better establishing links between clinical researchers and those who will eventually use the results of their work. We hope that these new interactions will lead to a self-sustaining environment integrating clinical care and research, leading to improvements in brain health for the children of Malawi and integrating technology in the places where it will be most clinically useful.
