Abstract
The present invention refers to a video-based system for the detection, recognition, registration and/or segmentation of seizures in an unobtrusive and privacy-preserving manner. The device may be discreetly encased within a household object such as a light fixture (100) to ensure unobtrusiveness and is paired with a motion recognition procedure that generates unidentifiable representations of the data. A computational unit (200) receives video footage from a video camera unit (500) and powers a lighting unit with regular (601) and infrared (602) lighting modules, for operation under any lighting conditions. This computational unit (200) also interfaces with a control module (300) to enable manual control of the recording process and a transmission module (400) to securely transmit recorded data or information about recorded data.
