A collaborative effort by a French medical device company (Bioserenity), a British epilepsy organization (Epilepsy Action), and a French epilepsy organization (Efappe) has led to the first of a kind smart clothing system and companion app that help monitor and diagnose epilepsy. Conventional epilepsy diagnosis and treatment rely on seizure recordings through fixed monitoring systems only available in a hospital setting. Due to the limited accessibility of these fixed systems, most often the patients’ seizures are not recorded. The lack of seizure information for a patient leads to suboptimal diagnosis and treatment. WEMU smartwear aims to improve the accuracy of diagnosis, reduce diagnostic time, and help design a more accurate drug regimen for the patient.
The Epilepsy Network is a worldwide community of people with epilepsy, family and friends, uniting to talk about their experiences, learn information about epilepsy, ask questions and so much more! Don’t let epilepsy defeat you, let it inspire you!
