Detection of Motor Seizures Using WBAN (DMS-WBAN)

February 23, 2021 updated by: Mohawk College

Detection of Motor Seizures Using Wireless Body Area Network

This study aims to collect the motor movement data using sensors to detect Generalized Tonic Clonic Seizures . Wearable sensors similar to smart watches will be used to detect seizures. The proposed system will consist of 3-4 wearable wireless sensor worn on the hands and legs. The data from these sensors will be send to the clod and collected to a central hub for analysis and detection of GTC Seizures.

Detailed Description

The key of the project is digital signal processing of the movement data collected. The medical application sensors from Analog Devices will be worn around the wrist and legs of the participants. These sensors will continuously collect the motor movement data. The data will be send to the cloud from where it will be collected at a central hub for digital signal processing and detection. The data analysis results will be compared with the standard EEG results for Tonic Clonic seizures and results will be verified.

  • Masking: None (Open Label)

Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
Experimental: Measurement of Motor Movements
Wearable Accelerometer Sensors manufactured by leading manufacturers will be given to the participants to be worn around hands and legs. These sensors will be used to measure accelerations which will be impacted by the motor movements.
Device: Wearable sensors
Wearable sensors will be given to the participants to be worn and movement data will be collected

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Measurement of Acceleration
Time Frame: 3 months
Motor movements will cause changes in acceleration. Accelerometer sensors will be used to measure the acceleration as a first step towards detection of Tonic Clonic Seizures
3 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Digital Signal processing of the data
Time Frame: 3 months
The raw acceleration data collected will be processed in a computer with MATLAB software using Digital Signal processing techniques. These techniques will help identify the data and differentiate the seizure movements from normal movements thereby helping to detect seizures data
