Equipment for Filming Seizure Activity

by Ann Collins-2 :: Rate this Message:

Dear All

I have had a request from a service who are supporting a lady with epilepsy. They have been asked by the individual's consultant psychiatrist if it would be possible to film her for a month in order to observe her seizure patterns with a view to changing her medication and improving her seizure management.

I appreciate that this is an infringment on the individual's privacy and therefore we would need to consider the ethical implications very carefully.

I was wondering if anyone could advise me of a suitable product that could be used for filming. It would need to provide a sufficiently clear image which could be captured either at nightime or during the day.

There may be a need for it to be portable so that it could be used to capture seizure activity during the day when the lady is not in her bedroom.

It would need to have the capacity to capture a significantly large amount of data so that it can be left running and reviewed later.

It would also be useful owing to the finite nature of the trial, if the equipment could be leased rather than purchased outright.

I would really appreciate any suggestions that you might have.

Thanks very much for your help.
