## Description

The Alert App works with the Embrace smartband to automatically notify chosen caregivers by SMS and phone call when a possible convulsive seizure is detected. It can optionally share your GPS location and requires a dedicated smartphone with Bluetooth.

Use the app to review seizure frequency, schedule caregiver alerts by time of day (e.g., school hours), and customize Embrace notifications such as lights and vibration. It also provides device status checks, access to feature updates, and is offered under a subscription.
