PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an apparatus for detecting an epilepsy seizure capable of detecting an epilepsy seizure in high sensitivity without making false detection.SOLUTION: An apparatus for detecting an epilepsy seizure includes: a graph creation means 206 for measuring heartbeat intervals in sequential heartbeats and creating a two-dimensional orthogonal graph where the heartbeat intervals are sequentially plotted while setting a heartbeat interval at an arbitrary timing as an abscissa axis coordinate and setting a successive heartbeat interval as an ordinate axis coordinate and a seizure-detecting means 207 for detecting the epilepsy seizure based on a change in the distribution of the group of the plotted points in a perpendicular direction to a straight line passing an origin and a point where the abscissa coordinate and the ordinate coordinate are equal to each other, and a change in the distribution in a parallel direction to the straight line.COPYRIGHT: (C)2014,JPO&INPIT【課題】てんかん発作を誤検出なく、かつ高感度に検出することができるてんかん発作検出装置を提供する。【解決手段】連続する心拍において心拍間隔を測定し、任意の時点の心拍間隔を横軸座標、次の心拍間隔を縦軸座標として順次プロットした二次元直交グラフを作成するグラフ作成手段206と、前記グラフにおいて、原点と横座標と縦座標とが等しい点を通過する直線に対する、プロットされた点群の垂直方向の分布の変化と、この直線に対して平行方向の分布の変化に基づいててんかん発作を検出する発作検出手段207と、を有する。【選択図】図1
