About EpiMonitor by Empatica
EpiMonitor by Empatica is an FDA-cleared epilepsy monitoring system that offers real-time seizure alerts and health tracking. Paired with the EmbracePlus smartwatch, it detects possible convulsive seizures, sends instant alerts to caregivers, and keeps a detailed seizure diary—all to help you stay on top of your epilepsy management.
Features include:
AUTOMATED AND MANUAL SEIZURE ALERTS
EpiMonitor’s most important feature aims to provide prompt assistance when a possible convulsive seizure is detected. EpiMonitor will send a seizure alert to the user’s selected caregivers via an automated text message (SMS) and phone call so they may get help when they need it most. Alerts can also be sent by manually pressing a button on the EmbracePlus smartwatch when you feel you might need help.
COMPREHENSIVE SEIZURE DIARY
Epimonitor keeps track of all your seizures in a practical digital diary that is available inside the app and can also be downloaded in PDF form, and easily shared with your family or doctor. Add detail about each seizure, including triggers or how you felt at the time.
ACCURATE SLEEP AND ACTIVITY TRACKING
Track your sleep and activity using Empatica’s sophisticated algorithms. Integrated activity and sleep data collected via the EmbracePlus smartwatch can be viewed on the app alongside seizure activity to monitor overall health and identify trends and patterns in your epilepsy.

The worst
Easily one of the worst account experiences I’ve had. It is virtually impossible to find direct links to your account online and through the app if you need to make changes. Customer support and availability is excruciating. There is no clear link or direction on how to upload your prescription so you can actually receive the device. We’ve paid for the device and now have no idea if it will come. The email thanking you for your order has a button “Link to Your Order”. You know it’s a bad sign when right below the button it says “if button doesn’t work use this link:”. Of course the link does nothing… Spent $400 on the device and have no idea if it will come or if it will work.

Has potential but disappointed so far
I traded up because of the new features EpiMonitor has compared to Embrace2. I do like the extended battery life. What I don’t like are the advertisements for location and manual alerts but those are solely based on which plan you choose. The basic plan doesn’t alert your one caregiver to your location, it only calls them saying “__ needs assistance”. Without location it becomes a mad dash to find where I’m at. I like the ability to trigger a manual alert but not at the highest price plan and how to activate it is a bit complicated if someone has a tonic clonic seizure that the watch didn’t catch. We are very disoriented after these seizures and it is difficult to focus. I found it misses quite a few seizures but I haven’t experienced false alarms as others have stated. I would ask to add location to all plans or eliminate the basic plan altogether. Help us help you become the device that stands out above the rest.
