Kids play Wii so doctors can learn more about seizures
"More than 300,000 children in the United States suffer from epilepsy. Seizures can strike out of nowhere and cause dangerous episodes of shaking and convulsing.
"Treating children with epilepsy can make all the difference, but doctors first need to observe and analyze their seizures. Now, new technology is making that easier for them, and for the kids . . .
"Patients play Wii video games to provoke seizures.
"They need to have seizures for us to determine where they're coming from," says. Dr. Angel Hernandez, the Medical Director of Neurology at the Jane and John Justin Neuroscience Center.
"The idea is to play hard.
"The most important purpose is to get them tired. We know that if you're very tired, you're more prone to have seizures," explains Dr. Hernandez.
"He says with this wireless technology, his staff has been able to observe seizures in at least 25 percent more patients . . .
"About 70-percent of the time, doctors don't know why kids have seizures. Seizures are three-times more common in the first year of life."
