A spin-off from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) called Empatica, has created a wearable device that monitors epileptic seizures (癫痫发作) .
According to Statista, the value of the global mHealth market for 2015 is forecasted to be at around 14.5 billion U.S. dollars. In fact, 247 million people in the US have downloaded a healthcare app for their personal use.
The new product, Embrace, can be paired with a companion watch that a family member, friend or caregiver can wear. When the companion watch is in range of the user's Embrace
watch, it will vibrate to alert the companion watch of their medical situation or status.
Embrace is tied together by two apps: an event detector which sends an alert when the user's electrodermal response reaches a preset level they customize based on their history and health profile; and a diary app which helps monitor and manage everyday routines.
The ultra thin Embrace is the result of several years of research from MIT professor Dr. Rosalind W. Picard, founder and director of the Affective Computing Research Group at MIT Media Lab and her team. Embrace evolved from a discovery with an early device called iCalm in 2008 which allowed the researchers to see the outbreak of stress even before it was noticed by the subject.
The sensors in the iCalm device measured the "fight-or-flight response"through electrodermal activity which was measured from the skin surface. In a small test group, the data from the iCalm showed that the wristband data was related to how long the brain waves were suppressed after an epileptic seizure. According to Picard, the data showed the bigger the signal on the wrist, the longer the brain waves went flat after the seizure had supposedly ended.
The problem with that discovery, according to the researchers, is that someone who's had
an epileptic seizure and then appears to recover should be monitored and not left alone.
Over time, Picard and her team fine-tuned iCalm to what is now the Embrace watch which
monitors the user's physiological stress levels. Embrace monitors electrodermal activity (EDA) and movement with an objective of reducing Sudden Unexplained Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP),the leading cause of death of those with epilepsy.
Embrace recently launched an Indiegogo campaign to raise funds for further product development. The company also has partnered with the Epilepsy Foundation and plans to give Embrace watches to children or families who can't afford them.
