Sleep Tracker
About this project
Using beddit technologies, Matan and Guy programmed the device to track heart rate, change in temperature, and movement. By placing it on the children's beds, the data collected will be able to provide valuable information to track seizures.
The challenge
From Stacy's experience, she can usually tell if one of her children is about to experience a seizure, but she doesn't have a way to detect seizures. Current products on the market include wristbands, but her children won't wear them.
Who it helps
Stacy is a mother of three children, all born with Angelman Syndrome, they are all nonverbal and use communication devices to communicate, they are treated for seizures, and have a heightened sensitivity to different materials.
