A method of detecting a subject's physiological status, seizure state, or seizure type with limb-based accelerometers identifying a favored accelerometer or limb that provides a better sensitivity or false positive rate as compared to other accelerometers or limbs. The detection method may include determining whether the seizure conforms with an anticipated seizure type, and determining whether to base a seizure detection on data from the favored or un-favored accelerometers or limbs. The method may also include applying a weighing factor to base the detection on data obtained primarily from the favored accelerometer or limb or to not rely on data obtained primarily from un-favored accelerometers or limbs. The method may also include comparing data obtained from a favored accelerometer or limb with data obtained from other accelerometers or limbs or obtained from detection devices using ECG or EEG. An alert may be generated based on the detection of a seizure.
