Seizure Alarm, PulseGuard now available in the USA

Fri, 08/05/2016 - 05:04
Hello everyone. My name is Jonnie, and I work for Adris Technologies over in the UK, who are the developers of the PulseGuard Heart-Rate Monitor. We are a family owned company, working for non-profit, with all sales going back into the company to further develop PulseGuard and to put into Epilepsy Research. Adrian Perry created PusleGuard for his son Tom, who suffers from Dravet syndrome. It's an inspiring story and would recommend you read it here: http://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/adrian-perry/saving-lives-with-the-tech-that-saved-our-son_b_10130482.html PulseGuard monitors the heart, and it has been found that in 93% of people who suffer with epilepsy, the heart rate change is the first detectable symptom in a seizure (Tonic, tonic-clonic and others). This makes PulseGuard incredibly accurate in detecting the onset of a seizure. Our higher and lower heart rate detection also allows PulseGuard to alert a parent / carer to the onset of SUDEP as well. We have been available in the UK since the end of 2014, and the response has been incredible. We also currently have a 10% off Summer Sale for the system. For more info, please check out our website at www.pulseguard.org, and you can phone us on +1 (617) 939-9984 or email us at info@pulseguard.org Thanks for your time.

We have this product, it has

We have this product, it has not worked a single night. They are continuing to charge us the 18 month contract inspite of knowing it does not work.  Their support line in the US is impossible to get through. We have the Masimo Rad 8 and it works great.
