Lampsy: the Portuguese lamp that uses AI to detect epilepsy seizures

A project developed in Portugal is transforming an object as common as a lamp into an intelligent epilepsy monitoring system. It is called Lampsy and aims to detect convulsive seizures in real time, alerting family members or caregivers when something dangerous happens. The technology combines artificial intelligence with sensors integrated into the lamp itself, allowing non-invasive monitoring of people with epilepsy during sleep or in domestic environments. The system was designed to work discreetly, without the need for wearable devices or cameras, something that sets this solution apart from other approaches on the market. Family members and caregivers receive the alerts, enabling a faster response in emergency situations. The project represents a Portuguese innovation in health technology, showing how everyday objects can be adapted to solve complex medical problems.
