Abstract
Epilepsy is the most common neurological disorder, affecting 0.6% to 0.75% of dogs. However, it is quite difficult to recognize the start of epileptic seizures. Consequently, the purpose of this article is to explore the devices that may be able to help detect epileptic seizures in dogs, including a discussion of their benefits and limitations.
We have designed a new solution because there are no suitable commercial devices or systems that can detect epileptic seizures in dogs, neither is there a solution for a potential detailed analysis of a dog’s vital functions. The vision for the future research is to use the data obtained from the created system for monitoring epileptic seizure in dogs.
Several commercial sensors have been compared to determine their ability to monitor vital functions, focused on possible monitoring of epileptic seizures. Our system consists of a wearable sensor, a base station running Windows IoT, and a cloud server. This system enables us to monitor breath frequency and heartbeat, which might be used to detect an epileptic seizure.
