There are a few other projects that have similar goals to OpenSeizureDetector that have started up while I have been working on this, which readers may like to look into. In the table below I have tried to link to the project web page, and also places I have found where user feedback is presented. I have also included any information I can find on how they work and how much they cost. There may well be mistakes there because the commercial products do not publish information on how they work, and I have done the cost calculations very approximately without careful exchange rate conversions. If anyone spots an error that should be fixed, or would like me to add another project, please email graham@openseizuredetector.org.uk.
