Abstract Generalized Tonic Clonic Seizure (GTCS) is a form of epileptic seizure in which a patient loses control over their entire body, ultimately leading to loss of consciousness. The Vagus Nerve Stimulator (VNS) is a tool/method for treating epileptic episodes that sends counter-electrical stimulations to the Vagus Nerve in order to mitigate epileptic signals from the brain. The machine is a stand-alone device that depends on human decision-making. The proposed framework uses an IoT and Blockchain oversight mechanism to augment the device's transparency. The system counteracts against false-activation by monitoring the patient's vitals through a smart… More >
