I have been diagnosed with epilepsy and my husband saw this app. He mailed epdetect and received wonderful help from them........ Until he mentioned it did not work properly. Then they went dark! I can't get to the settings to maximise performance. Otherwise it is not a bad app. If they developed it i would definitely be willing to pay for it.

A very good beta, Robert. The sensitivity controls are spot on, and it even picks up a drop fit. Only things wrong - it crashes when you cancel an alarm, and the alert and alarm need to be MUCH louder. Right now, they wouldn't get much attention. Otherwise, keep going!

This is a great idea for epileptics however, the app crashes constantly and gives false hope to those who need it! Why release this app to the public when it is not dependable to those who could potentially die when the fails? ? ? ? ? ? Please fix this app or pass it onto a developer who will fix and update this app.

This would be good. But its only useful for people who have convulsions. I dont convulse so its completely useless. Also it detected me having a seizure. When i was walking up stairs!!! Sort it out.

It stopped working on me and didn't detect a few seizures. I am going to install and reinstall and see if it goes back to how it was. It worked great before!

Please please update! This would be amazing if implemented for smart watches. It could be an epilepsy game changer! It has given me freedom I never thought I could have.

About this app

EpDetect will monitor the movement of the person while the phone is in their pocket or worn on a belt. The software will differentiate the movements associated with epilepsy from normal movement.

When a seizure is detected it will warn the person that it is about to send an SMS message to a carer, in the case of a false alarm the person will be able to cancel the SMS alert. The SMS message contains time, GPS coordinates (if the phone has GPS) and a short message, allowing the carer to raise the alarm and take remedial action or call an ambulance. When the person recovers they press a button to cancel the alarm, which will initiate an end of emergency SMS message.

Epdetect was developed by Kenneth Austin and Robert Dlugosz.
