ABNORMAL MOTION DETECTOR AND MONITOR

摘要

In an embodiment, a seizure monitor provides intelligent epileptic seizure detection, monitoring, and alerting for epilepsy patients or people with seizures. In an embodiment, the seizure monitor may be a wearable, non-intrusive, passive monitoring device that does not require any insertion or ingestion into the human body. In an embodiment, the seizure monitor may include several output options for outputting the accelerometer/gyro or other motion sensor data and video data, so that the data may be immediately validated and/or remotely viewed. The device alerts and communicates to the outside care givers via wirelessly or wired medium. The device may also support recording of accelerometer or other motion sensor data and video data, which can be reviewed later for further analysis and/or diagnosis. The device and invention is also used and applicable for other body motion disorders or detection and diagnostics.

1. A method comprising:
collecting data, at a machine having a processor system including at least one processor and a memory unit, related to motions associated with a person; analyzing, by the processor system, the data collected to determine one or more values characterizing the motion; and comparing, by the machine, the one or more values characterizing the motion to one or more values characterizing motion of a medically abnormal condition; determining, by the machine, whether the one or more values characterizing the motion match the one or more values characterizing a medically abnormal condition based on the comparing; and activating, by the machine, an alert if as a result of the determining it is determined that the one or more values characterizing the motion matches the one or more values characterizing the medically abnormal condition.
