## Description

EpiMonitor by Empatica is an FDA-cleared seizure monitoring and alert system paired with the EmbracePlus watch. It monitors for possible seizures, provides automated and manual real-time alerts to caregivers via SMS and phone calls, and helps maintain an accurate epilepsy diary including sleep and daily activity data.

Key features include a comprehensive digital diary for seizures, triggers, and symptoms, PDF report exports, and easy data sharing with healthcare providers. It also offers sleep and activity tracking, a 98% detection rate for generalized tonic-clonic seizures, and adjustable alert sensitivity to reduce false alerts during activity and increase sensitivity during rest.
