iPhone app: Home epilepsy diagnosis
Problem: Epilepsy is often diagnosed only after the first seizure, which could potentially occur in a dangerous situation (driving or some such).
Solution: iPhone home epilepsy diagnosis. When the application is started, it instructs the user to hold the phone directly in front of their face. After a brief delay, the application flashes the screen between black and white 200 times in quick succession. The application then displays a message “Dialling 911 in 10 seconds” and the seconds start to count down to zero. A large button on the screen reads “Cancel”. If the user does not click “cancel” within ten seconds, the application dials 911 and reads a pre-recorded message to the operator, explaining that the user has had an epileptic seizure and requires the use of an ambulance. It then reads out the current GPS coordinates to the 911 operator.
Hopefully user is okay.
