Description

Help when you need it, for those with seizure disorders.

SeizAlarm is a user-friendly iPhone and Apple Watch app that allows those with epilepsy and other seizure disorders to alert emergency contacts when they need help*.

FEATURES:

- Seizure detection. Seizure-like event detection is done via the motion sensors on the iPhone and/or motion sensors or heart rate sensor on the Apple Watch. Sensitivity controls allow you to set customized settings specific to you. When a potential seizure is detected, emergency contacts will automatically be contacted via multiple channels (phone call, text message, and email).

- Send immediate help requests manually to emergency contacts.

- Also available is a manually activated time delayed help request feature (via the "Time Delayed Help" button) that is helpful for those who have localized seizures (auras) that may turn into generalized tonic-clonic seizures. You are able to custom set the delay time in the settings. When a seizure warning is initiated you will see a countdown which can be extended via the press of a button. If you end up becoming unresponsive due to a seizure then once the timer ends then a help request will be sent.

- When a help request is sent, your contacts will be contacted with GPS coordinates (if available), so they know exactly where you are.

- You are also able to track your seizure events with robust logging features. A log dashboard gives you a high-level view of past events. You can also export log reports.

- SeizAlarm also supports multiple emergency contact support, so more than one person can be contacted when you need help.

- Optional audible siren and/or custom voice message that plays if a help request is sent.

- International phone number support for emergency contact(s).

- Now supporting "Family Setup" watches!

Help is just a button press away. Start taking back your independence today.

NOTES:

*New accounts receive a 2-week commitment free trial of the help request service which allows the user to manually or automatically (via seizure-like repetitive motion and/or heart rate detection) request help from emergency contacts. Once the trial ends, the user must subscribe to the help request service to continue to have the ability to request help. The help request service is an auto-renewing cost of $17.99/month or $179.99/year.

* SeizAlarm is NOT an FDA approved medical device. SeizAlarm does not prevent seizures, should not be used for diagnosis, treatment, mitigation or cure of any disease and is not a substitute for medical care.

* Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.

* Recommended placement of the iPhone for seizure detection is on the arm using an armband.

* Longer sessions of Watch based seizure-like motion and heart rate detection may dramatically decrease watch battery life.

* Subscription automatically renews unless auto-renew is turned off at least 24 hours before the end of the current period.

* The payment will be charged to the user's iTunes Account at confirmation of purchase. The account will be charged for renewal within 24 hours prior to the end of the current period, and identify the cost of the renewal.

* Subscriptions may be managed by the user and auto-renewal may be turned off by going to the user's Account Settings after purchase.

* No cancellation of the current subscription is allowed during the active subscription period. Any unused portion of a free trial period, if offered, will be forfeited when the user purchases a subscription to that publication. The robust seizure log features require no subscription.

Needs a help request end for contacts attending

This is a really good app and allows independence.

The only issue is that the people who can then attend, cannot end the help request. It can only be ended on the users app. Thai can’t be done until seizure ends. Therefore other contacts still rush to attend as they don’t know that someone is there.

This app can not only save lives but also improves the quality of everyday life

I found this app to be very reliable and has all the great customisations you could imagine. It’s very intuitive to use, and really provides great reassurance that you will know if a person had a seizure. My wife used to use Empatica Embrace before, but this is miles better, more stable and easier to manage due to on-watch-screen controls.

I had a suggestion to design a custom watch face that doesn’t necessarily show the alert buttons and thus remind the person each time they check the time that they have a condition and the responsiveness of the people behind the app blew me away - literally exchanged several emails within 24hrs, they asked for additional input, like the idea and will aim to have it as part of the next release.

Overall experience on all fronts: 10/10 - thanks guys!

Very disappointed

We use the seizealarm app which is used with an Apple Watch and phone to detect seizures for my 12 year old daughter. I do not know what has happened with this app but I would definitely no longer recommend this. My daughter had 2 prolonged tonic clonic seizures one of them nocturnal and also a third partial seizure on Friday with high heart rates as she was hooked up to a monitor in hospital so we could see her heart rate was high and it didn’t pick up anything not one of the perimeters that were set went off even though they were exceeded. I emailed them with screenshots of her settings and they asked the usual was her watch on correctly etc etc and we increased the sensitivity to maximum of 10 (it was already set to 7) and now the app is ringing us and texting us none stop and draining her phone and watch battery. She was just sat next to me doing absolutely nothing and her heart rate was fine as we checked her watch and it rang us 3 times requesting help for her. This is now as you can imagine anxiety inducing and it’s very clear it doesn’t work at all. Very disappointing.
