Abstract
In today’s world, children and teenagers both are the most permanent and persistent part
of society. They perform the functionalities of the civilization to grow larger and effectively
where the early stage of their lives is crucially known for its importance in human development.
On the other hand, in an initial phase of a child’s life where illness and disabilities might
develop an impact on their childhood growth, such as Epilepsy disorder. The impact of
Epilepsy disorder can affect the lives of both children and teenagers. Parents of children who
suffer from Epilepsy disorder are concerned about their child’s health, emotion, behavior, and
their child’s ability to learn and grow. Also, Epilepsy is a recurrent condition of seizures that
involves different types of symptoms that vary from one child to another. The main motivation
of this project is that since children are considered to be an immense part of our society,
therefore, they are the future of our world, and it’s important to comprehend and solve the
impacts of such a disorder in order to assist and help them to practice life necessities easily.
Our project idea is a wearable device that can perceive the symptoms of seizers and epilepsy
by detecting the changes of the oxygen levels in the blood, heartbeats, muscle spasms, and
body’s temperature and humidity sensor that connects to the parent’s mobile application that
notifies the child’s current condition. In addition, the Tech-Wearable Shirt will have an alert
system that consists of a buzzer, vibration, and LED indicator that can be used for emergency
cases to alert the supervisors. Consequently, this project will help and assist parents in
identifying and in being aware before the occurrence of Epilepsy and seizures.
