System and device for seizure detection
First Claim
1. A device, comprising:
- a head mounting arrangement sized and shaped to be worn on a user'"'"'s head;
a plurality of electrodes disposed on the arrangement so that, when the arrangement is worn on the user'"'"'s head, the electrodes contact target portions of a scalp to detect electrical activity of a brain of the user;
an image capture device disposed on the arrangement so that, when the arrangement is worn on the user'"'"'s head, a field of view of the image capture device includes a portion of an anatomy of the user; and
a processing unit generating EEG data from the electrical activity,wherein, when the EEG data is indicative of an epileptic event, the processing unit activates the image capture device to capture video data of the user.

Abstract
A device comprises a head mounting arrangement sized and shaped to be worn on a user'"'"'s head and a plurality of electrodes disposed on the arrangement so that, when the arrangement is worn on the user'"'"'s head, the electrodes contact target portions of a scalp to detect electrical activity of a brain of the user in combination with an image capture device disposed on the arrangement so that, when the arrangement is worn on the user'"'"'s head, a field of view of the image capture device includes a portion of an anatomy of the user and a processing unit generating EEG data from the electrical activity, wherein, when the EEG data is indicative of an epileptic event, the processing unit activates the image capture device to capture video data of the user and may store the EEG and/or the video data with transmission of warning signals to one or more remote displaying and/or computing arrangements.

21. A system, comprising:
-
an electrode unit attached to a scalp of a subject, the electrode unit comprising; a plurality of electrodes generating electrical signals corresponding to electrical activity of a brain of the subject; a processing unit generating EEG data from the electrical signals; and a wireless transmitter, an image capture unit worn on a head of the subject, the image capture unit comprising; an image capture device; and a wireless receiver, wherein, when the EEG data is indicative of an epileptic event, the processing unit transmits an activation signal to the image capture unit via the wireless transmitter to activate the image capture device to capture video data of the subject.

22. A system, comprising:
-
a wireless computing device; and a head wearable arrangement comprising; a plurality of electrodes disposed on the arrangement so that, when the arrangement is worn on a head in a desired orientation, the electrodes contact target portions of a scalp of the subject to generate electrical signals corresponding to electrical activity of a brain of the subject; an image capture device disposed on the arrangement, the image capture device capture video data of the subject; a wireless transceiver; and a processing unit generating EEG data from the electrical signals, wherein, when the EEG data is indicative of an epileptic event, the processing unit downloads the EEG data and the video data to the wireless computing device via the wireless transceiver.
