Epilepsy is a disability with a large research field but yet with little knowledge and understanding about finding a cure. The common idea as to why an epileptic seizure is triggered is because of over activity in the neurons of the brain. More than 60 000 people in Sweden suffer from epilepsy. Damages from an epileptic seizure can be life threatening if left uncontrolled and a solution is needed in order to detect and alarm if a seizure has appeared. This project refers to building a system that can detect a seizure and locate the position of the patient having the seizure. This system also creates the possibility for a contact person to take part of the information. As there were no persons with the diagnose epilepsy at hand, the project group decided that simulated seizures were necessary. Development of the system has been categorised into three subsystems. The subsystems are a bracelet unit, a mobile application and a cloud-service. The projects subsystems were developed and the system was completed. A bracelet unit was created. This bracelet is able to detect if an epileptic seizure has occurred. A Bluetooth low energy connection between the bracelet and the mobile application was enabled making it possible for an alarm to be sent to a contact person during a seizure.
