EDA based automatic detection of epileptic seizures using wireless system

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder which manifest by recurrent involuntary seizures. The seizures dynamics is wide ranging from blinking of the eye to severe muscle contraction. The last category can be life threatening for the person. Currently, the epileptic seizures are impossible to predict, an alternative is to detect the seizure as early as possible and to tell the care giver that a seizure occurred and take action. The current monitoring systems involve audio and video observation which is difficult to analyze in particular during the night. The wireless electronic diagnosing system designed here is exclusively meant for epilepsy patients. The system helps in accurately predicting the occurrence of seizures. In this paper, a new scheme is proposed for detecting epileptic seizures from the skin of epileptic patients. In this paper, a system with wireless electronic diagnosing system that combines Electro dermal activity (EDA), GPS, GSM, and ARM processor is proposed. This paper provides the location of epileptic patients through GPS technology and warning to the caring persons of epileptic patient through GSM technology.
