【 摘 要 】

Currently there is no method to reliably predict the onset of an epileptic seizure in a patient. Flint Hills Scientific desired a method for monitoring an individual's movements and being able to perform analysis on the resulting data to determine if a correlation could be developed between the movement data and the onset of a seizure. This project would also be used to determine any relationship that may exist between an individual's movements and the EEG brain waves that are also being monitored for epilepsy seizure correlation. Flint Hills Scientific has done extensive work in the area of epileptic seizure monitoring, and Honeywell FM&T has extensive experience in telemetry and sensor integration. Flint Hills Scientific was interested in remotely monitoring the movement of a patient, and Honeywell FM&T had an interest in expanding its knowledge base for using miniature low level accelerometers.
