A seizure detection apparatus 10 comprising a sensor arrangement for monitoring a characteristic of a user 20, a controller 24 for detecting a change in the characteristic, and an alarm 12. The controller 24 is operable to activate the alarm 12 on detection of the change to alert the user that the change has occurred. In one embodiment the sensor arrangement is an acoustic signal sensor, a parabolic microphone, arranged to detect the signal produced or emitted by the brain. The arrangement is further able to record the acoustic signals and alert the user to any change in the monitored characteristic. In a further embodiment the sensor arrangement includes an odour sensor 22 arranged to detect a chemical signal emitted from the patient's glands. |
