Real-Time Epilepsy Detection with IMU and Low Power Processor Design

Abstract

In this work, we proposed a system that supplies real-time epilepsy detection system (RED system) with a single inertial measurement unit (IMU) and a low power processing unit. Since the accuracy can reach 99.81%, the specificity can reach 99.81%, and false positive rate of 0.19%, it not only ensures reliability but also provides a quantification analysis for diagnosis. The proposed method has been verified by 60 patients and the processing unit has been implemented into a chip using TSMC 0.18 μm process, which proves the feasibility of mobile device to the RED system.
