Description

The Alert App pairs up with Embrace smartband and sends your chosen caregivers an automated SMS and phone call when Embrace detects unusual patterns that may be associated to a convulsive seizure. The Alert App requires a dedicated smartphone with Bluetooth connectivity, and is available with a subscription plan. It is only designed to work with the Embrace smartband by Empatica www.empatica.com/store/ (http://www.empatica.com/store/). ++++ ALERT FEATURES ++++ The Alert App: - Sends automatic calls and SMS to your caregiver when a possible convulsive seizure is detected. - Sends your GPS location to your caregivers (when this option is activated). With the Alert App you can: - Review and track your seizure frequency. - Enable caregivers throughout different periods of the day (e.g. enable teachers only for school hours). - Disable Embrace's lights and vibration when you don't need them. - See Embrace's status, battery, and memory levels. - Receive notifications as soon as updates and new features are available. - Cancel any alerts associated with events that do not require assistance. ++++ EMBRACE IN THE PRESS ++++ “Makes it easier for people with epilepsy to detect seizures and let others know when they need help.” - MIT Technology Review “It can also do something most watches don’t: send out an epilepsy alert.” - Time ++++ REGULATORY ++++ EU: the Embrace smartband is a medical device of class IIa according to the directive 93/42/EEC, for patients with epilepsy or at risk of having epilepsy.

  • Hate wearing it, but I gotta

    It works incredibly well in rest mode, sometimes I will be drying my hands too fast and it will go off. Very fun. My biggest complaint is that sometimes I dont get the prompt to cancel the alert, so I get an immediate phone call from my parents because I cannot stop it. It's incredibly inconvient to me and terrifying for my parents. I don't know if it is just me or the app, but I need it to not do that.

  • No updates for 3 years...

    Disappointing given the necessity of an app like this for some people. Memory synchronization bugs (300MB+ data not being uploaded on an up to date iphone 15 pro) that requires full app deletion monthly. Support is polite but helpful. Feels like an orphaned product at this point. Also hardware needs a refresh and bluetooth 5.x to increase usable range.

  • iOS app regularly disconnects

    Switched from android and this app is garbage compared to android. Constantly disconnects when battery full and less than 10 feet away

  • One favor

    I use it everyday and it’s all good. EXCEPT for when it gives off false alarms from stuff such as clapping, running with a bag on (sometimes for me), shivering, etc. And when the false alarm goes off, I have to text or tell my parents that it’s a false alarm and etc. Please, the only favor from me is to be able to extend the countdown time when the watch detects a seizure, because it’s so annoying for it to be 15 seconds, and then have to call your caregivers just because you couldn’t get to your device quickly.

  • AKA Life Alert

    The product is essentially a life alert that goes off when you move you shake your hand violently. For some epileptic people here, I know that may be helpful but even violently shaking my hand won’t set it off. Random times unrelated to my epileptic status and then unable to turn off or warn I’m fine in the 10 seconds. It only detects extremely violent shaking “sometimes”

  • The best seizure detection

    This is one of the best purchases I have ever made. I’m epileptic, and get seizures out of no where, but they don’t happen often. So people are prepared, got this. •No false alarms No false alarms are great! •Contact parents Amazing The only thing is the distance. It disconnects whenever I walk 10 feet away.

  • Hardly works

    This will just go red out of nowhere even if I’m holding my phone, it will log me out randomly, and say try again later and won’t let me log in. There fore It won’t work and if I have a seizure my mom won’t be called.

  • Good and bad.

    So I’ve been epileptic for 6 years and I’ve had the watch for 5 years. I’m going to start with positives because if I’m honest? It has saved my life on multiple occasions. So I’ll say this, the watch goes off when I have a seizure 100% of the time, it also weighs practically nothing and does not effect my everyday movement in anyway. The watches battery lasts for a long duration, and it’s easy to just plug in once every two days at 7:30 and just sit on my bed for a couple hours while it charges. However the battery is were we begin to get into some pretty big problems. While yes the battery does last for a long time, this is only for the first few months. Eventually you notice the battery is basically dead 38-40 hours instead of the usual 44-48 hours. And this drop is very slow but it was getting to the point I was waking up in the morning and seeing my watch had been dead, even though I charged it the night before. Several times. Then you notice the Bluetooth on your watch has disconnected, you do every step including deleting the app, restarting your phone, everything. But it won’t connect via Bluetooth, this means your watch is basically dead. And that’s what I’m going to warn you about. If you notice these three things: A. Battery problems B. Bluetooth Problems C. Pairing Problems, then your watch is dead. I know because I’m currently ordering my fourth watch, and that may sound hypocritical but I don’t have auras and regularly have full grand-mals (where I stop breathing) in my sleep. I need this product, or I’m in legitimate danger. I’m letting people know, it’s a good product and it’s saved my life. But you need to know, as a warning, that it lasts at most 1-2 years. Then if you want to buy another watch call the company and they will give you a discount from 250 to 175.
