Epi-Care Free

Wrist-worn seizure monitoring for greater freedom at home.

Epi-Care Free uses a clinically tested wrist-worn sensor to detect movement patterns associated with tonic-clonic seizures, during the day or while sleeping. When these patterns are detected, a real-time alert is sent through the control unit to a compatible pager, carephone or nurse call system—supporting timely carer awareness while enabling greater independence within the system’s operating range.
