Take control of your epilepsy and seizures. Seizure management has never been easier.
TAKE CONTROL TODAYSo I want to know everyones opinion on my concept for the redesign of the epilepsy helmet. As you will notice it doesn't even look like a helmet, but imagine if this was what you could wear instead of the annoyin helmet.Look at the file called 16 at the bottle of this message. Open it and see my design.
Here are details about the device. Basically, you were it like headphones, but it wraps around the back of the head. Your probably wondering how it will protect you when u fall. A computer inside, namely an accelerometer will be able to detect when a person falls. Then "air bag" like devices will shoot out from the back and the sides of the device, covering the head. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. But let me know what you think. What colors would u like, or do u like or dislike the way it looks? Any suggestions I want to design something people like. I want to remind you its only a concept and not likely going to go into production, its just an idea.

Does anyone have experience wearing a helmet due to drop seizures? I'm trying to do some reach on the helmets and would find it really helpful to hear other people's opinions and experiences. If you could be this person I'd love to talk to you. Leave me...

Hi Megan, just wanted to say I liked the idea, although I didn't know how big the air bags would be nor if this would be big enough to hold air bags of a size folk would require.
If you want serious feedback, then ask nurses or nursery nurses who have worked with kids with E, they will be able to say what would be a good design and what wasn't. Who knows, it may be the thing folk are looking for.
