Hi Paul,
Thanks for the information, it's sparked off some thoughts along with the other posts. I'd agree that without any structured support to the AT it's not going to be much use in making any intervention successful.
In the case of the person I am trying to help, he has one parent carrying the whole support load, which is far from ideal.
Cheers,
Aidan.

Hi Ann,
We at Hereward are using two stand alone suppliers:-
http://www.sensorium.co.uk/
We are using their simple epilepsy monitor which integrates easily into our
nurse call system.
and
http://www.alert-it.co.uk/
This device is more complex offering the options of monitoring multiple
inputs including breathing, siezures, enuresis and vomit/saliva.
Both systems are doing the trick, however the main issue we are having is
getting care staff "on board". As in the case of a lot of AT the technology
works well but the support package is critical to the sucess of the
intervention.
Paul
