Description

Epi-Care is a unique Epilepsy Medical wrist-worn sensor that detects tonic-clonic seizures. It has a discreet and modern design, which is unobtrusive for the user.

The lightweight sensor can be worn 24 hours a day and only needs an hour to charge. The advanced 3-axis accelerometer can detect convulsions and vibrations that occur during seizures. The intelligent gyroscope within the wristband can differentiate between a seizure and the movement of everyday activities.

The Epi-Care wrist sensor connects to the included smartphone via Bluetooth and sends data to the Epi-Care epilepsy app that comes pre-installed. This means you can wear the alarm wherever you go.

If you experience a seizure, the app will immediately send an alert to registered friends or loved ones. If you prefer, you can subscribe to our 24/7 monitoring service, where alerts are then sent directly to our care team who can summon immediate assistance. The alert can be sent by text and voice and will include your GPS co-ordinates ensuring help can be sent directly to your location.

The included handset must be within a range of 20m from the Epi-Care epilepsy alert bracelet for it to work effectively.

Included Smartphone

The Epi-Care Mobile package includes a Motorola E6s smartphone which comes pre-installed with the Epi-Care epilepsy app and is already paired to your Epi-Care wrist sensor.

Please note, this device cannot be used as a regular phone. All features (including calls, texts, web browsing, apps etc) are restricted.

* Important: The included smartphone requires a SIM card (not included) to be inserted. This is not provided and must be purchased separately.
