Story
Grace (my daughter) has been diagnosed with migralepsy and photo-sensitive epilepsy in 2017-2018. Grace cannot remember when she has a seizure. Grace has nocturnal seizures during her sleep too, but recording any of her seizures is a challenge. This equipment that I am crowdfunding for would be able to record all of her seizures when her heartbeat changes before a seizure begins. The equipment would also help Grace as she is at risk of SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy). The device with a warning would alert anyone who is near Grace.
Would you consider £1 donation or more?

Thank you.
P.S I have approached Grace's GP and consultant for funding for this equipment but it has been refused. Grace has findings on her EEG and MRI of abnormalities.
This is the equipment https://www.epilepsyalarms.co.uk/product/brio/
Further information: these are the triggers that can affect Grace with photosensitive epilepsy
Bicycle lights (red and white)
Ceiling fans
Christmas lights that flash
Computer screens
Flashing novelty badges
Interactive whiteboards
These are some examples of patterns that could be seizure triggers:
High contrast patterns such as black and white stripes
Striped or patterned materials and walls
Patterns in some television programmes, video or electronic games
A moving escalator
Strobe lights
Looking directly at certain patterns caused by sunlight could be a seizure trigger for some people. Examples of these situations are:
Sunlight through slatted blinds
Sunlight through trees, viewed from a moving vehicle
Sunlight reflected off moving water or off snow
Sunlight through moving leaves
Sunlight through railings, as you move past them
