Advanced Computerized Automated Seizure Detection and Prediction System

Abstract

Epilepsy is a focal neurologic disorder which badly effects the central nervous system of an individual.It results in various different types of seizures which can be classified as Atonic ,Myoclonic,Tonic-Clonic,focalseizures.Patients suffering from epileptic seizures shows various unusual symptoms like shaking of arms and legs,having unconscious state of mind during seizure,loss of memory and various uncountable body movements which all lead to unrecoverable losses ,bad injuries and even death of several patients.Though medical treatment like anti-epileptic drugs called anti-convulsants and brain surgeries are available,but still an Advanced Computerized Automated Seizure Detection and Prediction System is required which constantly monitors the epileptic patients,processes their medical variates like blood pressure,strokerate,etc. and accordingly predicts and sends the prior notifications before seizure occurrence via alarms or SMS  to the  concerned medical staff.

The term Wireless indicates that patient  regular monitoring will be based on Wireless Sensor Networks(WSN’s) like advance technology.Patient’s hands and legs movements will be monitored  through a wireless-connection network constituting of sensors,mobile cloud computing(MCC),wireless sensor nodes and k-nearest neighbor algorithm for further computations of received data from inertial sensors.
