Seismiclink

Seismiclink - open-source assistive technology concept by the Bay Area community

About this project

We are proposing a discrete armband that simultaneously monitors heart rate and has a has a motion sensor to detect when there is excessive rapid arm movement from the waist to the chest. If some pre-determined threshold is exceeded then it should alert a loved one’s phone.

The challenge

Many patients with seizure disorders will rapidly draw their arms into their chests during seizures.

Who it helps

The need knowers are people with seizures.
