Over 1 million people die yearly from seizures.
Shilene will give warning, call for help
. . . and save lives.
50 million people worldwide live daily with the threat they could have a seizure at any moment. Over 1 million people die annually from falls, suffocation, car accidents and other effects of seizures. More people die from seizures than from almost any other condition.
Why save even one of these people? Because the person you save may be the next Einstein. They may be the next Stephen Hawking. They just might save the world and your life . . . or your grandchild’s life.
Our Story
Shilene – a member of our family – died of a seizure on October 28, 2010, at age 23. She was sleeping when the shaking began. She suffocated in her bed, only a short distance away from family members who could have saved her life if they had only been alerted to her silent shaking. She had her cell phone next to her on the pillow – but it wasn’t able to detect the shaking and sound the alarm.
Our Solution
Motivated by Shilene’s passing, we have begun to develop an application, and patented a method to predict seizures and give warning. We have named the application after our inspiration – Shilene. The application analyzes the subtle patterns of shaking that occur just before a seizure begins. The application connects to a server and continually updates a personal algorithm for each user – that gives their smartphone the ability to best predict their pattern of seizures. The seizure algorithm downloaded to each mobile phone is unique and tailored to best increase the chance their seizure will be predicted.
Our goal: to save the lives of 100,000
or more people this year.
This kickstarter project has the chance of saving many of the 1 million people who die each year from seizures. Maybe someone you know – or might otherwise meet next week. You may save the life of someone who ends up inventing a way to protect the Earth from asteroids or who comes up with an idea to save millions of others. Please, help us change save lives. Every little bit helps.
Thank you for your support!
