User Reviews

Users generally appreciate seizure notifications and the EmbracePlus app improvements, along with FDA approval and battery life gains. However, recurring issues across reviews include Bluetooth connectivity problems, unreliable sleep/tracking reports, frequent false alarms, and UI/UX limitations. Additional concerns involve dependency on near-field phone use and limited caregiver access. Overall, the device is seen as a valuable monitoring tool, but reliability, ease of use, and multi-user access are common pain points.

Any idea why the monitor vibrates when it’s correctly on the patients wrist and no seizure is going on?

I use this for my 8 year old. There are several areas of improvement needed. (1) There needs to be a caregiver version of the app for my phone. (2) There should be the ability to set a schedule for things. Example: Set the sensing to LOW every day at a certain time and back to HIGH at a certain time. I try to remember to turn it to low for school, but sometimes forget which leads to false alerts while she is at school and panic for me waiting for the nurse to send the all clear. (3) The sleep info isn’t very accurate or useful. (4) For the watch only- my daughter has had it for about a month and the band loosens constantly and is falling apart already. (5) Ability to mark multiple false alerts at once. When she has a hard day, she gets quite frustrating and can sometimes set her watch off several times. It’s time consuming to mark each individual alert as a non-seizure, then wait for it to clear. (6) Bluetooth range isn’t great. (7) In future models, a touch screen to cancel alerts. My daughter struggles to get them cancelled accurately on the watch. And she’s not quick enough to get her phone out of the pouch. (8) Some way to make the app stay open or auto reopen. She closes it out completely all the time without realizing.
