The Science Behind Lampsy®
Advancing epilepsy care through science.
Lampsy® was developed with neurologists in Lisbon and tested on over 9200 hours of hospital video from 200 people with epilepsy. Here is what our latest study found.
What we found when we put Lampsy® to the test.
Results from 8,318 hours of hospital video of 161 people Lampsy® had never seen. Open each card to explore them.
What it detects
Movements indicative of tonic-clonic seizures.
Lampsy® detects movements that may be indicative of focal to bilateral tonic-clonic seizures.
- Tonic phase
- The person loses consciousness and their muscles go stiff. If they are standing, they fall.
- Clonic phase
- Their arms and legs jerk quickly and rhythmically. Breathing can be affected.
