Epilepsy-Band-Detector🧬🩺
Problems Addressed:
1- Limiting Siezures and sudden attacks of epilepsy by monitoring daily schedule.
2- A probabilistic limitation in sudden heart attacks and fainting due to low BP.
3- Monitoring of daily life of people thus reducing risks and medical non-adherence.
Overview:👓
Epilepsy is a central nervous system (neurological) disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal,
causing seizures or periods of unusual behavior, sensations, and sometimes loss of awareness.
Anyone can develop epilepsy. 😟
Epilepsy affects both males and females of all races, ethnic backgrounds and ages.
Missed medication, lack of sleep, stress, alcohol, and menstruation are some of the most common triggers, but there are many more.
Flashing lights can cause seizures in some people
Apart from the above High level of strenuous exercise may cause seizures and 🚴♂️🤸♀️
most importantly may cause heart attack in old patients and may also cause the weak or sick to faint.
Apart from this, there are many daily situations which may cause us to find ourselves in medically difficult situation.
In a life as busy and strenous as today's, Health has become a secondary issue for us and major concern for society.
In such a situation what is impotant is to efficiently monitor and routine our life without any interfernce in daily routine.
While the above mentioned mishapenings can occur due to many reasons apart from the ones mentioned above-
the most common phenomenon in all mentioned situations is the sudden increase or decrease in heartbeat rate.🩺
We will expoilting this in our project, and along with several other monitorng factors we will keep the heartbeat rate as a major one.
The final output will be a wrist band which will help montior and control and thus routine evry activity.
Goals: 🎡
1 - For initial state we aim to reduce the chance of seizures in epilesy paitients by measuring their daily activities and guiding them accordingly
2 - We also aim to take into account a larger group and help the large part of population and help them lead a life that does not increase the risk of disease in thier life.
Scalability (targeted category of people that will benefit from this):
The people targetted are not only the ones suffering from epiplesy, though they are the main target,
our idea is for all those busy and old people who are not able to routine and control their life in a medically feasable way.
Apart from monitoring, since this is also acting as a warning system, it can be said a must have for everyone.
Tech Stacks Required:
1- Hardware(Raspberry pi, heart-beat sensor, accelerometer, DS3231..etc)
2- ML
Limitations:
1- To make it finally usable we will have to use microcontroller that can be embedded in a wrist band, whichis quite complex to work with eg-MX6ULL
2- Experimenting Stage will be difficult.
Roadmap Overview:
First time interval - 2-3 months - A working model with basics ready. ⏳
Second time interval - 4 months - complete project with wrist band ready⌛
Approximate count of contributors required:
5-6 People. 👨🧑👩👧👦🧒
