Description
Summary:碩士 === 國立交通大學 === 電機工程學系 === 106 === Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders; about 65 million people in the world are affected. A considerable portion of epilepsy cannot be well controlled by today’s available treatments. Even patients who have resection surgery to remove the epileptogenic zone will still suffer seizures once in a while. In this thesis, the design of a smart headband for epileptic seizure detection is presented. The proposed headband consists of four key components: 1) an analog front-end circuitry, 2) an epileptic seizure detection tag (ESDT), 3) a Bluetooth Low Power (BLE) chip, and 4) customized electrodes. All the above components are integrated into a fabric headband with only 50.3 g. The current consumption of the smart headband system is 16.35 mA. The epileptic seizure detection algorithm inside ESDT is validated by using Boston Children’s Hospital’s CHB-MIT scalp EEG clinical database with the detection rate of 92.68% and the false alarm of 0.527/hour. We develop a service APP connected to the cloud so that the patients’ health condition can be recorded and then referenced by doctors for further diagnosis or research. By event record, doctor only needs to review 1 % EEG recordings for precise diagnosis.
