The Epi-Care mobile epilepsy alarm can be used inside or outside of buildings - day and night
1: Enter alarm numbers in the app
When a seizure happens, Epi-Care mobile calls the registered number. If no one answers, Epi-Care mobile will call a backup number.
2: The sensor monitors tonic-clonic seizures
The sensor is placed around the wrist, just like a watch. It can distinguish between tonic-clonic epileptic seizures and regular movement.
3: Epi-Care mobile alerts if a seizure occurs
Epi-Care mobile will call the registered number. The alarm will also send GPS-coordinates in a text message.
Made for smartphones
Epi-Care mobile wristband sensor communicates wirelessly with an Android smartphone. The app can call different numbers in case of a seizure, dependent on your location. E.g. Epi-Care mobile can call one number if you are at your parents’ house and another one if you are at an institution. Epi-Care mobile also sends out the GPS-coordinates, so relatives are able to see where the seizure occurred.
You can put the phone aside as long as there are no more than 10-15 metres (30-50 ft.) between the wristband sensor and the phone.
The app alerts if errors occur
With Epi-Care mobile, safety is a top priority.
The app sends a text message to the caretaker’s phone when the wristband or the phone needs charging. It also sends a text message if the wristband is out of reach. The Epi-Care mobile also provides the user with the opportunity to cancel false alarms.
As with the other Epi-Care epilepsy alarms, Epi-Care mobile has a built-in journal that documents seizures including dates and time. From the app, a list with data of the seizures can be sent via email to relatives and doctors.
Recognises tonic-clonic seizures
Epi-Care free is developed to register and alert in case of tonic-clonic epileptic seizures. The wristband 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.
Aware of location
With the function called “locations” in Epi-Care mobile, it is possible to have multiple numbers connected. The user can enter a local alarm number for when he/she is at home or at an institution during the weekdays and another number during the weekends if the user stays with relatives. The phone figures out who to call depending on the location of the user.
