Pre-Sync

Overview of Syncope and PreSync

• Syncope (fainting) affects 15%-39% of the population; common in ages 10-30.

• Lack of awareness of symptoms leads to injuries and emergencies.

Existing Treatments and Limitations

• Existing diagnostic tools include ECGs, tilt table tests, and loop recorders, but 45% lack a clear diagnosis post-testing.

• Treatments (lifestyle changes, medications) manage symptoms but don't prevent fainting long-term.

• Newer research on wearable sensors is still developing.

Introduction to PreSync

• PreSync is a wearable patch designed to detect early symptoms of syncope.

• Focuses on adolescents who often experience fainting during daily activities.

Benefits of PreSync

• Provides early warnings 30-60 seconds before fainting to prevent injuries.

• Monitors multiple physiological signals (heart rate, skin temperature, posture, sweating).

• Non-invasive, comfortable for daily use, specifically designed for teens.

Technical Specifications

• Function: Detect syncope warnings, ≥85% detection accuracy, ≤15% false alarms, 8-hour battery life, <30 grams weight.

• Uses affordable sensors, flexible materials, and is hypoallergenic.

Testing Procedures and Hypotheses

• Tests measure efficiency and reliability of detection alerts, battery life, and adhesive durability.

• Hypothesis: PreSync will detect changes before episode onset, remain under 15% false alarms, and maintain performance criteria.

Conclusion and Future Potential

• PreSync shows potential as a reliable syncope warning system with high accuracy, battery endurance, and safety. Cost-effective development aims to provide a discreet and effective solution for teens.
