Wireless Sensor Network Based Epileptic Seizure Detector †

Abstract

Epilepsy is a focal sensory (neurological) disease in which cerebrum movement becomes abnormal, sparking off seizures or a period of surprising conduct, sensations, and occasionally the loss of consciousness. The diagnosis of epileptic seizures is mainly done by methods of electroencephalogram (EEG) observation. Even though this technique is precise, it is not easy for the patient because the EEG anodes must be appended to the scalp, which is uncomfortable for the patient. Seizure indications can fluctuate broadly. A few people with epilepsy just gaze vacantly for a couple of moments during a seizure, while others jerk their arms or legs repeatedly. This makes constant monitoring at home significantly more troublesome. Epilepsy patients are often unable to move freely for fear of convulsions. After analyzing all the issues related to epilepsy, we proposed a plan to make a cheap and usable device as a solution so that an epileptic patient can move like a normal human being. With this device, if an epileptic patient falls ill anywhere, their information will be sent to the nearest hospital and their emergency contact numbers in the form of Short Message Service (SMS).
