The new clock, called Empres, was developed by a team of researchers in the MIT Institute, led by researcher Roslind Picar, in cooperation with "Impat Co." company, through a group finance campaign that collected over 120 thousand dollars, according to "New Saints" magazine.
In its work, the clock relies on measuring base activity in the skin to monitor any changes in the brain, while at the same time relying on a model of specific medical data through which changes that predict an epileptic shift can be identified.
The clock also collects information on body temperature and mobility patterns, such as the conventional smart watch, which can be used to monitor physical activity and sleep.
The idea of developing the clock came as researchers studied the emotional patterns of children suffering from autism, as Bikar noticed a large increase in the activity of a child with a seizure 20 minutes before he went into epilepsy.
When the Empres clock monitors any refresher shift, it sends a message to the friends or family members whom it has already identified to take whatever is necessary.
