​

EpiAlert is a device to detect when an Epileptic patient gets a seizure and immediately send an alert to the caregiver.

Epileptic seizures involve loss of consciousness and uncontrollable, jerky movements of the arm. They happen without any prior warning and often happen at night. If unnoticed, a seizure can cause permanent neurological damage.

​

The device consists of two parts: 

​

1. A wearable wristband worn by the Epileptic patient that consists of an Arduino nano microprocessor and an accelerometer sensor, which detects movements of the arm that happen during an Epileptic seizure using Machine Learning 

​

2. A mobile phone app installed on the caregiver’s phone that gets connected to the wristband via Bluetooth and sounds an alarm when a seizure is detected by the wristband. 

This device allows Epileptic patients and their families to live without the fear of a seizure going unnoticed as the caregiver is immediately alerted.
