Story

SWED (Smart Wearable For Epilepsy Disorder)

Epilepsy (seizure)

Epilepsy (seizure) is a sudden, uncontrolled electrical disturbance in the brain. It can cause changes in your behaviour, movements or feelings, and in levels of consciousness. If you have two or more seizures or a tendency to have recurrent seizures, you have epilepsy. Seizures are more common than you might think. Seizures can happen after a stroke, a closed head injury, an infection such as meningitis or another illness. Many times, though, the cause of a seizure is unknown.

The problem statement

Having Epilepsy (seizure) at certain times can lead to circumstances that are dangerous for you or others. You might be at risk of:

Falling. If you fall during a seizure, you can injure your head or break a bone.

Drowning. If you have a seizure while swimming or bathing, you're at risk of accidental drowning.

Car accidents. A seizure that causes either loss of awareness or control can be dangerous if you're driving a car or operating other equipment.

Pregnancy complications. Seizures during pregnancy pose dangers to both mother and baby and certain anti-epileptic medications increase the risk of birth defects. If you have epilepsy and plan to become pregnant, work with your doctor so that he or she can adjust your medications and monitor your pregnancy, as needed.

Emotional health issues. People with seizures are more likely to have psychological problems, such as depression and anxiety. Problems may be a result of difficulties dealing with the condition itself as well as medication side effects.

Solution

A watch type wearable called SWED (Smart Wearable For Epilepsy Disorder) is an epilepsy patient monitoring device with some additional detection and symptoms pre-alert system. and which periodically checks for triggers of seizure, and intimates the patient and caregiver with an alert message. using SWED we cant cure seizure, but we can prevent and be conscious of seizure and we can get ready with precautions.

What SWED (Smart Wearable For Epilepsy Disorder) will do

After detecting seizure, SWED sends an alert message with geo-reference of the patient to caregiver.

Triggers Of Seizure

Photosensitivity. For about 3% of people with epilepsy, exposure to flashing lights at certain intensities or to certain visual patterns can trigger seizures. This condition is known as photosensitive epilepsy.

Atmospheric Pressure. patients with known epilepsy, increased seizure frequency occurred with changes in barometric pressure, particularly over 5.5 mBar.

Body Temperature. Extreme cold and heat cause seizure.

Weather. Low pressure and high humidity—conditions associated with thunderstorms put people with epilepsy at higher risk of a seizure.

Sleep. seizures are very sensitive to sleep patterns. Some people have their first and only seizures after an "all-nighter" at college or after not sleeping well for long periods.

Sound. A musicogenic seizure is reflex epilepsy triggered by certain types of music or even specific frequencies of a pitch for which the person's brain has a low threshold or tolerance. These sounds trigger focal epileptiform EEG discharges in cerebral areas specific to the triggering stimulus.

Stress. Stress is an expected and unavoidable part of life. It is our body's reaction to any change that requires a physical and emotional response. Stress is known to cause worry, depression, frustration and even anger.

Conclusion

Most seizure disorders can be controlled with medication, but the management of seizures can still have a significant impact on your daily life. so SWED (Smart Wearable For Epilepsy Disorder) helps to manage and take care of seizure, by just tracking ur day to day activities and external triggers of seizures. and I am a seizure patient I am taking tablets for the past 18 years and I know the difficulties of a seizure patient we need extra care and concern. I hope this idea will change my seizure life and other seizure patients too.
