Episleeve: Multimodal Night-Time Seizure Detection, Jorge Mirabelli, Sophia Hall, Dylan Rasmussen, Luca Lin, Devin Lewis

Intersections Fall 2020

This project involves the creation of a nighttime wearable device that can measure heart rate, blood oxygen saturation, temperature, motion, and skin resistivity using sensors placed on the upper and lower arm. Incorporating a wide variety of sensors allows for detection of focal and generalized epilepsy. These sensors will be used to collect data to wirelessly (via Bluetooth) transmit to a separate base station for processing to determine if a seizure has occurred. If a seizure is detected for a specified period of time, the base station can call (via cellular communications) for medical aid to prevent harm to users. …
