EpiWatch: Seizure Monitoring and Alerting
FDA-cleared Seizure Detection
SAFETY, INDEPENDENCE, AND PEACE OF MIND
Take control of seizure safety with EpiWatch, the only clinically validated and FDA-cleared tonic-clonic seizure detection
and alerting app for Apple Watch. EpiWatch is available in the U.S. Seizure detection, monitoring, and caregiver alerting require a prescription from a U.S. clinician.
CLINICALLY VALIDATED SEIZURE DETECTION
EpiWatch is powered by an FDA-cleared seizure detection algorithm that detected 98% of tonic-clonic seizures in clinical
trials with a false alarm rate of .08 per 24 hour period.
SUPPORTS INDEPENDENT APPLE WATCHES (FAMILY SETUP)
EpiWatch supports Apple's Family Setup. This means you can set up a cellular Apple Watch for a loved one using your own iPhone and their EpiWatch account, giving them full access without them needing a smartphone of their own.
ALERTS CAREGIVERS VIA E-MAIL, PHONE CALL, OR TEXT
When EpiWatch detects tonic-clonic seizure activity, it sends seizure alerts to the EpiWatch caregiver list by phone call,
text, and e-mail directly over the watch’s wi-fi or cellular connection.
CUSTOMIZABLE CAREGIVER ALERT PREFERENCES
Add as many caregivers as you need to your alert network with no extra cost. Customize each caregiver's alert
preferences for notification.
