Integrating video and accelerometer signals for nocturnal epileptic seizure detection

Published:22 October 2012Publication History

ABSTRACT

Epileptic seizure detection is traditionally done using video/electroencephalogram (EEG) monitoring, which is not applicable in a home situation. In recent years, attempts have been made to detect the seizures using other modalities. In this paper we investigate if a combined usage of accelerometers attached to the limbs and video data would increase the performance compared to a single modality approach. Therefore, we used two existing approaches for seizure detection in accelerometers and video and combined them using a linear discriminant analysis (LDA) classifier. The results for a combined detection have a better positive predictive value (PPV) of 95.00% compared to the single modality detection and reached a sensitivity of 83.33%.
