Abstract

Seizure is a sickness that have be a part among human being for more than thousand years. A single event of seizure does not mean epilepsy as epilepsy is usually diagnosed when a person has at least two seizures that the cause is unknows and happen at least 24 hours apart. Febrile seizure is a special name for kids’ seizure which their age is in between 6 months to 5 years old. Sudden Unexpected Death in Childhood (SUDC) states that 31.7% cases had a history of Febrile seizure. The main symptom of Febrile seizure is the children will have fever above 38ºC. In this era, parents have to work in order to provide daily expenses to the family and this means that children of them who have Febrile seizure will not have extra care and attention. To provide maximum protection for children with Febrile seizure in order to protect them from risk, danger and death from seizure, activity tracker with seizure capability will be designed and developed for the community. This device will be able to detect the temperature of the kids from their wrist and show in parents’ smartphone through phone application. Once the device detected abnormal high temperature in children for several minutes, it will send notifications to through application to the parents’ smartphone as they can take some precautions steps to reduce the risk and danger that might be happen to their children. ESP8266 will be used as a microcontroller as to send data to Blynk App, which is a smartphone application that can receive the information sent by microcontroller. DS18B20 digital temperature sensor will be used to sense the temperature near the wrist and transfer it to the microcontroller.
