Better Together
No Fear
Summary
Epilepsy is a chronic disorder affects people’s brains around world. One of the most stressful aspects is not knowing when a seizure will happen. People with seizures suffer from physical problems such as fractures and bruises. Our solution is making a Smartwatch watch that can detect the abnormal movements like shocks and seizures in the body by sensing small electrical changes on the surface of skin, these fluctuations in the skin happen in response to the alterations occur in the brain when the patient experiences a convulsive seizure, and when it detects that something wrong, it is continuously running detect when these events happen and notify Companion’s smartphone within seconds.
How We Addressed This Challenge
The project is working on filling the gap between people who has epilepsy and the people around them. Our idea has a goal of making the people who has epilepsy and their companions have a normal life without stress and not be worry all the time which may cause psychiatric disorder like anxiety and depression. We hope by this project we can make these people feeling safe and close the gap between them and the outside world. The smart watch we are working on will help both of the patient and his companion(s) for being not afraid all time about the probability of anything can happen by sending the companions a notification within second when their patient has a seizure and then they have the ability to be with them and this may decrease the percentage of the deaths by epilepsy every year. The smart watch with AI can detect the seizure by sensors attached with the skin and see the patient all-day behavior which give us the ability of knowing if there is any seizure at the same time of happening.
How We Developed This Project
Our team wished to be equal rights and normal lives for the people who has epilepsy and not to be shamed about it. We searched about how the epilepsy happens in the human body and we found how it makes seizure on the skin and then knew how to make a smart watch we can make and it then detects the seizure on time and then we can save many lives near to 60 millions around world. We used Arduino board (Arduino pro mini) and connect different sensors (EDA sensor, GSR sensor, OLED lid, and Bluetooth module) as Hardware and all of them are programmed by C++ Language. We faced many problems due to the quarantine and connection was harder than any time before, but we didn't stop working and by using different social media connection platform we could make a progress neither high nor low. We can say that we are able to make the device but all we need is some materials coming from outside and that what we need for more progress and go to the final step in the project.
How We Used Space Agency Data in This Project
Honestly, We didn't find what we need on them.
