• 1) The device is placed on the wrist of the epileptic individual to begin monitoring for pre-seizure biomarkers.
• 2) The device detects pre-seizure biomarkers and triggers vital sensor monitoring while sending an alert through an app to the individual and emergency contacts’ devices.
• 3) Emergency contacts have the option to start a group chat and a “Find my Friends” feature to determine who is closest to the individual for assistance if needed.
• 4) The vital sensors make a decision for the type of seizure while monitoring for unsafe levels.
• 5) If vital levels are in an unsafe range, emergency services will be contacted for intervention to prevent SUDEP.
• 6) Once the type of seizure is determined, the individual will follow the recommended precautions for the specific type of seizure (rescue medication, find a safe space, etc)
• 7) Each seizure event will be stored with all of the vital sensor and intervention data to generate a seizure diary with the option to share with physicians.

Lab Scale

The first prototype utilizes the pre-seizure biomarker sensor and allows for device training by flowing each compound over the device in the lab setting.

Human Validation

The second prototype incorporates the trained lab-scale device in a hospital setting in order to test the performance of the sensor itself.

Final Form Factor

The final smart band will take the validated biomarker sensor and integrate it with other vital sensor and the app for testing on a larger scale before market release.

• 1) The user will be prompted with instructions for watch integration.
• 2) The user will be asked to update their information related to seizure type, frequency, and history. Additionally, emergency contacts will be added here.
• 3) The ALERT feature will be the one to come up once the biomarker sensor detects a seizure. This screen contains a countdown to the seizure, the support network map of emergency contacts, and vital sign activity with seizure type loading. Once loaded, recommended precautions will appear.
• 4) The Seizure Activity feature is a seizure diary containing all information related to each episode.
• 5) The Vital Activity is a direct link to check vital levels at any time or during seizure detection window.
• 6) The Support Network Map shows the locations of each emergency contact in the event help is needed before the seizure.
