MOTION-BASED SEIZURE DETECTION SYSTEMS AND METHODS

摘要

A motion monitoring system and a method of obtaining and analyzing motion data that uses an accelerometer or an image capture device to acquire subject motion data. The motion data may be obtained from an accelerometer applied to a chest of the subject, or from an image capture device configured to view the subject during the detected motion. The motion data is analyzed to distinguish between a seizure type of motion and a non-seizure type of motion, with the subject motion characterized by at least one of, and combinations of, motion amplitude or magnitude, motion period or frequency, motion bandwidth, subject position, and subject change in position over a time period of the detected motion. The system and method further includes the generation of an output in response to an identification of the seizure and non-seizure types of motion.
