Apps for Apple watch
Sun, 10/07/2018 - 15:33Topic: Surgery and Devices
Our son, 14, was diagnosed with tonic clinic seizures that accure mostly in his sleep. Has anyone tried monitoring devices? We are looking at a few for the Apple Watch that will alert if there is a seizure. Has anyone tried these?

Does Medicare cover the cost of Epilepsy alert devices such as the Empatica embrace watch?
Hello @Pattyann3 & @Raymond

Hello @Pattyann3 & @Raymond MaGee , My research group has built and is in the final stages of development for a new monitoring device. The device is quite small and worn on the ear like earbuds, we believe we can achieve near equal accuracy in seizure detection and counting as compared to lab studies. There is still significant work to be done, but should be launching a product in a year or so. We might be able to incorporate features or form factors that you and/or your son prefer. If you'd like to talk about this more, I'd be happy to set up a chat.Cheers,Tedted1508@gmail.com
