Pallavi Lokhande | Tushar Mote

Abstract: Today, epilepsy keeps its importance as a major brain disorder. Epilepsy patients are susceptible to fits. These fits can be occurs any times a day and the main problem is that the patient has no memory that he has had a Fit Attack. There is growing need for continuous monitoring and immediate respond to their seizures and to inform the concerned doctor for analysis which is not possible in now a days hectic Work schedule where 24 Hours Nurse is very expensive. This implies high costs to the health system. The objectives of this paper were to continuously keep a track of all patients activity using a mobile phone outside the hospital environment. Also we are differentiating between the types of Epilepsy. The user has to choose the epilepsy type and then the software will monitor various activities such as fall detection, Haphazard body movement, Urination, Loud noises and also develop an android app. Depending upon the type of activity the Android App will keep a track of Fits. We are sending an SMS to doctor and parents as soon as the fits start as well as an SMS when the FIT ends. Neurologists can refer generated report so that they can focus on the most important time periods of all recordings. The main idea of this is to monitor and analyze the Epilepsy attack and also track the progress of patient with in a given period of time.
