Most importantly, it comes with instructions to +write code for it on the manufacturers (web site)[http://developer.getpebble.com]. + +So it sounds like an ideal platform for an accelerometer based seizure detector +similar to the Arduino based one I made in 2013. + +Principle of Operation +====================== +It is based on an accelerometer monitoring movement. It uses a fourier +transform to extract the frequency spectrum of the movement, and monitors +movements in a given frequency band. The idea is that it will detect the +rhythmic movements associated with a seizure, but not normal day to day +activities. + +If the acceleration within the given frequency band is more than a +threshod value, it starts a timer. If the acceleration remains above +the threshold for a given period, it issues a warning beep. +If it remains above the threshold for a longer specified period, the unit +alarms (continuous tone rather than beep). + + +Licence +======= +My code is licenced under the GNU Public Licence - for associated libraries +please see Credits below. + +Credits +======= +The following libraries are used: +* (SYLT-FFT)[https://github.com/stg/SYLT-FFT] by D.
