## Abstract

In one embodiment, a method includes detecting, by each of multiple sensors of a wearable device worn by a user, a physiological signal of the user; determining, by the wearable device, whether at least one of the detected physiological signals indicates that the user is suffering a seizure; and in response to a determination that the user is suffering a seizure, then determining, by a trained neural network and based on multiple detected physiological signals, a seizure condition of the user.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A method comprising:
detecting, by each of a plurality of sensors of a wearable device worn by a user, a physiological signal of the user;
determining, by the wearable device, whether at least one of the detected physiological signals indicates that the user is suffering a seizure; and
in response to a determination that the user is suffering a seizure, then determining, by a trained neural network and based on a plurality of the detected physiological signals, a seizure condition of the user.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of sensors comprises at least two of: an accelerometer, an EMG sensor, a skin-impedance sensor, an SpO2 sensor, and a PPG sensor.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein determining whether at least one of the detected physiological signals indicates that the user is suffering a seizure comprises determining that at least one of the detected physiological signals meets a predetermined threshold specific to that physiological signal.

### Claim 4 (depends on 3)

The method of claim 3, wherein the predetermined threshold is defined at least in part by one or more user characteristics of the user.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
determining, by the wearable device, whether each of the detected physiological signals meets a corresponding first signal-quality threshold; and
in response to a determination that a detected physiological signal does not meet a corresponding first signal-quality threshold, then discarding that physiological signal prior to determining whether at least one of the detected physiological signals indicates that the user is suffering a seizure.

### Claim 6 (depends on 5)

The method of claim 5, further comprising:
determining, by the wearable device, whether each of the detected physiological signals meets a corresponding second signal-quality threshold; and
in response to a determination that a detected physiological signal does not meet a corresponding second signal-quality threshold, then discarding that physiological signal prior to determining a seizure condition of the user.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein determining a seizure condition of the user comprises determining, by the neural network, whether the user suffered a seizure.

### Claim 8 (depends on 7)

The method of claim 7, wherein determining a seizure condition of the user further comprises determining one or more of (1) an onset of the seizure and (2) a duration of the seizure.

### Claim 9 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein determining a seizure condition of the user comprises classifying, by the neural network, a type of seizure suffered by the user.

### Claim 10 (depends on 9)

The method of claim 9, further comprising determining, for each of a plurality of types of seizures, a probability that the user suffered that particular type of seizure.

### Claim 11 (depends on 10)

The method of claim 10, wherein the probability is determined at least in part on the user's seizure history.

### Claim 12 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, wherein the trained neural network is deployed on the wearable device.

### Claim 13 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising determining, by a trained discriminator and based on the determined seizure condition, a priority of the seizure condition.

### Claim 14 (depends on 13)

The method of claim 13, wherein the priority of the seizure condition is further determined based on the user's seizure history.

### Claim 15 (depends on 14)

The method of claim 14, wherein the user's seizure history comprises input from a health-care provider.

### Claim 16 (depends on 15)

The method of claim 15, further comprising finetuning the trained neural network based at least in part on the input from the health-care provider.

### Claim 17 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising providing, to the user, a notification regarding the seizure condition.

### Claim 18 (depends on 1)

The method of claim 1, further comprising:
determining a severity of the seizure condition of the user; and
making, based on the determined severity, a request for emergency aid for the user.

### Claim 19

A wearable device comprising:
a plurality of sensors, each sensor configured to detect a physiological signal of a user wearing the wearable device;
one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media storing instructions; and one or more processors coupled to the one or more non-transitory computer readable storage media and operable to execute the instructions to:
access, from each of the plurality of sensors, a respective detected physiological signal of the user;
determine whether at least one of the detected physiological signals indicates that the user is suffering a seizure; and
in response to a determination that the user is suffering a seizure, then determine, by a trained neural network and based on a plurality of the detected physiological signals, a seizure condition of the user.

### Claim 20

An apparatus comprising:
a wearable device comprising:
a plurality of sensors, each sensor configured to detect a physiological signal of a user wearing the wearable device;
one or more first non-transitory computer readable storage media storing instructions; and one or more first processors coupled to the one or more first non-transitory computer readable storage media and operable to execute the instructions to:
access, from each of the plurality of sensors, a respective detected physiological signal of the user;
determine whether at least one of the detected physiological signals indicates that the user is suffering a seizure; and
in response to a determination that the user is suffering a seizure, then provide, to a computing device, one or more of the detected physiological signals; and
the computing device, comprising one or more second non-transitory computer readable storage media storing instructions; and one or more second processors coupled to the one or more second non-transitory computer readable storage media and operable to execute the instructions to:
access the one or more detected physiological signals provided by the wearable device; and
determine, by a trained neural network on the computing device and based on a plurality of the accessed physiological signals, a seizure condition of the user.
