| without regards to the hubbub around "AI". > Epilert contains a monitoring system that enables epileptic patients, their caregivers and doctors to monitor patients’ vital signs, daily lifestyle, medication taking and seizures through dedicated mobile apps. I live with someone who has epilepsy. For adults, it's largely manageable with some medications. For my partner, this enables her to work and live mostly normally. The biggest issue for her is having an early warning system. She is unable to obtain a drivers license, though she doesn't frequently convulse at random times. It's typically cyclical for her, and of the time I have known her, it's never been "unexpected". She usually knows before hand what's going on and lies down in bed, takes a secondary anti-convulesant medication and relaxes. Most of the time this - just works. However, I would love for her to be able to drive, as it's a huge impediment for her being able to work places, or visit places. I don't especially like being a standby taxi driver. If she could reliably get alerts from a monitoring device, I think she would be low risk for driving. The fear of the DMV is that she has a seizure on the highway and kills herself or someone else. With a good early warning system, she could pull over, or not drive that day or whatever. Epilepsy is manageable but also can be very rough - it's a lifelong situation and is can be triggered by a sorts of things. Anyway, just my two cents. |
I discovered I have epilepsy about 2 years ago, but my case seems to be very mild. I'm now on Tegretol and haven't had any seizures since. But, of course, I know the intensity and triggers vary wildly from person to person.
