1. A method of monitoring a patient for seizure activity comprising: placing a first detection unit including a first EMG sensor over a muscle located on a left side of said patient's body; placing a second detection unit including a second EMG sensor over a muscle located on a right side of said patient's body; wherein said first detection unit includes a first pressure sensor; wherein said second detection unit includes a second pressure sensor; collecting and analyzing an EMG signal from each of said first EMG sensor and said second EMG sensor; collecting first pressure sensor data using said first pressure sensor; collecting second pressure sensor data using said second pressure sensor; determining whether either of said first pressure sensor data or said second pressure sensor data indicates that a weight of said patient is pressed against one of said first pressure sensor or said second pressure sensor; and initiating a response if the EMG signal from either said first EMG sensor or said second EMG sensor indicates occurrence of a seizure.
