Epi-Care Free Mobile
Epi-Care Free Mobile is a wrist-worn sensor designed to detect seizures associated with tonic clonic epilepsy. Bringing new wireless technology to the care of people suffering with epilepsy, the Epi-Care Free Mobile provides safety features that are second to none. The sensor, which is paired with an Android smartphone, will not only detect seizures during the night when the wearer is in bed but also when the wearer is going about their normal daily routine. This allows great freedom to the wearer and to their family and caregivers.
The sensor
The Epi-Care Free sensor is worn around the wrist in much the same way as a watch would be worn. The sensor makes ongoing and very precise measurements of any movement in the wrist and is able to recognise the difference between epileptic and normal movements. The sensor has a 2 way wireless connection between itself and the Android smartphone. When a seizure with motor activity occurs the sensor sends a signal to the phone.
The phone will then send text messages, with location details of the wearer, and make a voice call to the designated contacts.
Location based contacts can be set up, for example there could be one set of contacts for when the person is at home and another set of contacts for when the person is at work, school or college.
The Epi-Care Mobile App
The Epi-Care Mobile App, which is constantly running on the Android smartphone, monitors the sensor at all times. Warnings will be given, via text messages, if the phone loses contact with the sensor, if the sensor battery is low or if a fault is detected with the sensor. A warning will also be sent if the battery on the phone needs recharging.
There is a log function built into the App. which keeps a record of events. This log, which can be viewed on the phone or emailed directly from the phone, is a very useful diagnostic tool as it allows medical staff to get precise information on the frequency of seizures.
