EpiMonitor is a combined solution that consists of the EmbracePlus wearable and the EpiMonitor smartphone app (compatible with iOS and Android) and requires both in order to work.
To get started, users only need to create an account online, install the EpiMonitor app on their phone and make sure they wear their EmbracePlus.
The smartphone and the EmbracePlus connect via Bluetooth, and when a possible generalized tonic-clonic seizure is detected, EpiMonitor will automatically send an alert to up to 3 caregivers.
In addition to monitoring and alerting of seizures, the brand new EmbracePlus wearable also continuously monitors the sleep and activity of its user, providing comprehensive health tracking directly inside the EpiMonitor app.
How accurate is it?
EpiMonitor uses an advanced algorithm that detects patterns associated with generalised tonic-clonic seizures with a 98% accuracy and during rest a False Alarm Rate (FAR) per day of 0.05 for children and 0.02 for adults.
