Abstract

The EPIMOUV project aims at providing a place to live and autonomy for drug-resistant epileptic young adults while attempting to provide them a high level of security. In this framework, subjects will be monitored during night using body-worn motion sensors and an alarm will be triggered if an on-going seizure is detected by processing the accelerometer readings. In this paper, we describe an innovative architecture for such alarm system: the wireless inertial sensors are positioned on the subject's body; the RF transceiver is located in the subject's room and linked to an Ethernet gateway, and the remote motion capture acquisition system is interfaced with a medicalized alarm system. The EPIMOUV system will be evaluated in a specialized institution from December 2010.
