They may be trying to work out if the attacks are due to epilepsy at all, rather than just record their frequency. A video of the appearance & behaviour of each attack would be most useful for answering this question. Linking a continuously recording camera to a device which identifies each “seizure“ would allow the relevant events to be recorded permanently, & the intervening parts to be overwritten. Perhaps you could adapt one of these X -Driven cameras:

Seizure Activity

From my limited experience in an acute neurophysiology department, the video data are used to enhance information from the EEG to help identify the involvement of each limb and progression of a siezure during each episode. Without EEG, a number of accelerometers may be required to localise movement from each limb .. which would present some interesting technical challenges!

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.
