Easy to use

Place the wristband on the wrist, turn on the base unit and you are good to go. No configuration necessary.

The wristband only requires 1 hour of charging a day, when the user is not alone. This could be during breakfast or dinner. Keeping track of seizures with Epi-Care free is easy: the base unit contains a journal with time and date of previous epileptic events etc.

Recognises tonic-clonic seizures

Epi-Care free is designed to register and alert in case of tonic-clonic epileptic seizures. It recognises the distinctive movements of a seizure. Epi-Care free does not react to everyday movements, for example when a person eats, reads or sleeps.

 User experience

More freedom and security, less observation

User Sanne Marie Lorentzen lives at Sølund and suffers from epileptic seizures. With Epi-Care free, Sanne does not have to be under constant observation, which makes their work easier for carers - even at night.

The device gives Sanne and her carers more freedom and security. The long reach of the epilepsy wristband allows Sanne to move freely around the house. At school, she has a second Epi-Care free device, which she can also take to her parents at the weekend.

 
“We think Danish Care Technology has developed an excellent system and would unreservedly recommend it to anyone with similar needs”
— David, father, England
“It gives us the freedom to be with Sanne when she needs us as a helpers instead of having her under constant surveillance”
— Lisbeth, carer, Denmark
