The seizures are triggered by abnormal electrical impulses in larger or smaller parts of the brain. The seizures may be experienced differently from one person to another. A single person may have several types of epileptic seizures.
Epileptic seizures are divided into two main groups: partial/focal seizures, where the seizure arises from a limited part of the brain, and generalized seizures, where the seizures are spread out all over the brain. During a generalized seizure the person is unconscious.
About 1% of the worlds population suffer from epilepsy. Most new cases arise in children or elderly. About 2/3 will be free of the seizures from their medication, but the last 1/3 does not become seizure free, and will need help and care in relation to the seizures.
EDDI is intended for this last 1/3 of patients. It will immidiately and reliably notify relatives or care personnel, when a tonic-clonic epileptic seizure occurs. It will thereby provide NEW FREEDOM and SAFETY for all involved.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
