| Abstract: | Example aspects of a collector for a seizure detection device, a seizure
detection device, and a method of detecting a seizure are disclosed. The
collector for a seizure detection device can comprise a collector
material configured to collect volatile organic compounds given off from
a patient's skin; a wrapping configured to isolate the collector material
from an external environment; a heater comprising a heating element, the
heating element configured to emit a thermal pulse to desorb the volatile
organic compounds from the collector material; and a mesh layer
configured to prevent the collector material from contacting the
patient's skin, wherein the collector material is received between the
wrapping and the mesh layer. |
