Dear Ann,
Are her seizures such that you could
monitor frequency of occurrence and duration with body-worn accelerometers and
a data logger? This would be an awful lot easier than trying to keep her “on
camera” no matter where she was during the day and night! It would also
make the ethical issues a little easier to deal with.

Subject: Equipment for Filming
Seizure Activity
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.
