NCT01626599

Brief Summary

This study is designed to collect data to support development of a novel product designed to sense changes in heart rate or movement during periods of sleep in people with epilepsy. When a potential seizure is detected, the system sends out an audio-visual notification.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Assess product useability

    This study is designed to collect usability data from the intended use population of people with epilepsy and their caregivers to support development of a novel product designed to capture ECG signals and accelerometer data.

    Up to 7 nights/7 days

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Collect ECG and accelerometer data; device wearability; and evaluate adverse events.

    Up to 7 nights/7 days

Study Arms (1)

Assess product useability

OTHER

All subjects participate in the same arm. This arm completes the primary objective of product usability.

Device: ProGuardian

Interventions

The investigational system is composed of a sensor, patch, hub, and caregiver application. The sensor is applied externally during periods of nocturnal sleep for up to 7 nights. The investigational system: * is not implantable and no surgical procedure is required for a human subject to use the devices; * is not for use in supporting or sustaining a human life; and * is not of substantial importance in diagnosing, curing, mitigating, or treating disease, or otherwise preventing impairment of human health. * Contains skin-contacting materials made of medical grade materials (e.g. sold for use as surgical or wound care) with well-established biocompatibility testing profiles.

Healthy VolunteersNo
Age GroupsChild (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

  • Five (5) years of age or older

You may not qualify if:

  • Any visible skin disorder, condition, or abnormal skin pigmentation which, in the investigators opinion, would interfere with the ability to wear the patch.
  • History of chronic dermatological, medical, or physical conditions that would, in the investigators opinion, preclude topical application of the test products and/or influence the outcome of the test.
  • Known sensitivity or history of irritation to adhesive tape (Latex) and/or topically applied products
  • An implanted defibrillator and/or pacemakers
  • Severe psychiatric disease that in the investigator's judgment would prevent the patient's successful completion of the study.
  • Pregnant and or nursing women (verified by a urine pregnancy test).
  • Currently participating in another clinical study without sponsor approval.
  • Caregiver that is unable to read instructions in the English language.
