Sounds of Seizures
Seizure detection devices could be invaluable tools for both people with epilepsy, their caregivers, and clinicians. For patients, having a device that could accurately detect seizures and alert caretakers would help relieve the anxiety from the helplessness that seizures can cause. It could also potentially reduce the risk of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy, particularly for those patients with nocturnal seizures who sleep without a bed partner [1]. For clinicians, seizure detection devices can be an important tool because self-reporting of seizures is unreliable [2].
