Telemetric epilepsy monitoring and seizures aid

Abstract

The following paper outlines a design of an electromyogram (EMG) controlled console for real time monitoring of epileptic patient for the treatment of seizer if it occurs. The final design consisted of an electrode attachment device, an analog circuit to amplify these and design an software based oscilloscope for the real-time monitoring of patient also provide a quick response return signal to treatment side. A prototype circuit was built and tested and the design functions. We used EMG acquisition and amplifiers circuit, Data processing, real time Display and control Devices for Monitoring and treatment of patient. Treatment can be made by using the return signal we made to be produced after the threshold gets crossed and onset of epilepsy is the cause. This return signal can further be used for the stimulation of the treatment circuit, for our plans we will use it for Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS), we concluded with effectiveness of our proposal and its application in medical sciences. © 2010 Springer-Verlag.
