1. A method, comprising: receiving a signal relating to a cardiac activity from a patient; deriving at least one cardiac index from the cardiac signal, wherein said at least one cardiac index is selected from a heart rate index and an EKG morphology index; receiving a signal relating to a body movement from the patient; deriving at least one body movement index from the body movement signal, wherein said at least one body movement index is selected from a body posture, a body position, a fall, and a body movement derived from an accelerometer; detecting a possible epileptic seizure based on at least one of the at least one cardiac index and the at last one body movement index; triggering a test of the patient's responsiveness based on said detecting; performing one of (a) confirming the detecting of the possible epileptic seizure; or (b) overruling the detecting of the possible epileptic seizure, wherein said confirming or overruling is based upon the result of the responsiveness test; and performing a further action in response to said confirming the detecting of the possible epileptic seizure.
