Minimizing regain awareness time of the epileptic patient using a well-known phone ringtone
AbstractMore than 65 million people worldwide are affected by epilepsy. There are numerous techniques to assist epileptics. The primary danger to their lives, however, is unconsciousness and convulsions. Novel techniques for shortening the time it takes to regain awareness are given in this research...

| description | AbstractMore than 65 million people worldwide are affected by epilepsy. There are numerous techniques to assist epileptics. The primary danger to their lives, however, is unconsciousness and convulsions. Novel techniques for shortening the time it takes to regain awareness are given in this research. This is accomplished by programming and fabricating the ARM Cortex M4F LPC4330 microcontroller in a six-layer printed circuit board (PCB) capable of detecting an early epileptic seizure. The suggested system gets real-time signals from two electrodes attached to the head. When the system detects seizures, it activates and broadcasts a familiar smartphones ringtone to the patient’s earphone. In vivo test was effective, and the outcome was as expected. The average time for regaining a 22 years old patient was reduced from several minutes to 24 seconds. |
