New epilepsy warning device could save thousands of lives
A new high-tech bracelet, developed by scientists from the Netherlands detects 85 percent of all severe night-time epilepsy seizures.
That is a much better score than any other technology currently available. The researchers involved think that this bracelet can reduce the worldwide number of unexpected night-time fatalities in epilepsy patients. They published the results of a prospective trial this week in the scientific journal Neurology.
Alert-iT – Guardian
The bigger brother to the Companion, the Guardian, offers the same feature set as the original Guardian P139. It has the ability to detect through an under-mattress sensor, the changes in the user’s shallow movement rate (the movements associated with the rise and fall of the chest). Allowing alarm notifications to be raised if these movements increase or decrease in frequency and with adjustable control for how long the Guardian needs to stop seeing any shallow movements before an alarm is raised.
Alert-iT – Companion
An advanced, night-time monitor that tracks movement, sound, moisture, and bed exit, allowing carers to personalise alerts and reduce false alarms.
Alert-iT – Companion Mini
The Companion Mini is the small, smart, and sensitive unit that can alert the caregiver to an increase in repetitive movement. It’s small, but it’s tough and it’s completely cable-free. Suitable for children and adults. Designed to detect movement from beneath the user’s mattress.
Alert-iT Care Alarm Technology
Warns caregivers remotely in the event of epileptic seizures during sleep. Conceived by Dutch neurologists and recommended by patients.
The NightWatch consists of a comfortable wireless armband that closely monitors heart rate and motion while the wearer is lying in bed.
When the NightWatch detects a potentially severe seizure, a warning is transmitted to a caregiver via a wireless signal to the armband’s corresponding base station.
