Development Of A Warning System For The Epileptic Patients Which Detects The Crisis Moment And Production Of The Prototype
Topic: Open Stem Topic
Media Type: Presentation
It is aimed at designing an electronic arm, detecting the physiological changes in epileptic patients\\\' seizures and bodies and informing them with various warnings and informations, producing the prototype and developing the device compatible mobile application.
Today, efforts are being made to diagnose seizures of epileptic patients and smart wristbands are produced. These smart wristbands detect some physiological changes that occur in the body. However, in order to implement this method, serious expenditures must be made and efficiency is not achieved in places where it is applied. The project has been subdivided into two sub-work areas: device (law enforcement) design and mobile application compatible with this device. Basic circuit elements of electronic arm; Pulse sensor, EMG sensor and accelerometer. In order to bring these electronic circuit elements together on a single circuit, electronic card design has been made to integrate the system. Then the necessary codes were written and the system was made operational and the prototype was produced.
The pulse sensor measures the heart rate at the point where the EMG sensor measures the changes and values of the electrical signal resulting from muscle movements in the body while the accelerometer measures changes in the velocity of the individual\\\'s arm. This data is sent to the developed mobile application via Bluetooth. This data is analyzed by the application. If the analyzed data is outside the standard data range defined in the system, the emergency message and position information are sent to the number defined in the device. In this context, an experiment was designed and implemented to determine the efficiency of the system. In this experiment, 70% success was achieved and it was determined that the device could be used by epilepsy patients. It is envisaged that the system algorithm can be improved and the sensitivity of the plant can be improved by increasing the quality of the sensors. Thus, a serious contribution will be made to the project to solve the problems that individuals with epilepsy have lived in a crisis.
