The Emfit epileptic seizure alarm is a sensor that monitors a person with epilepsy while they sleep. Patented sensor technology detects all of a person’s movement in bed and is able to differentiate normal movements from epileptic seizures.

The epileptic seizure alarm consists of a sensor, a control unit and a radio transmitter. The bed sensor is extremely thin and contains no embedded wires or switches. An alarm can be raised through a local audible alarm if there is a carer nearby.

How does it work?

The epilepsy sensor monitors a persons’ movements including respiration and heartbeat. It is able to separate normal movements from epileptic seizure symptoms such as tonic-clonic shakings or similar continued movement.

The sensor also detects hyperventilation and partial convulsions as seizures. The alarm triggers if the person has abnormal movements longer than the pre-set delay. The delay can be set between 10-20 seconds.

Why is it needed?

The sensor is used to alert an onsite carer when a person begins to seize during sleep and requires immediate assistance. Seizing during sleep can be dangerous as it places a person at risk of: • inhaling vomit or other fluids if not rolled onto their side • coming into contact with furniture or objects surrounding the bed • falling from their bed The sensor reduces the need for carers to make physical checks, promoting independence and dignity for the user.

Who is it for?

This solution may benefit people living with epilepsy to support and complement professional care where individuals are concerned about having seizures overnight. Epilepsy can develop at any age; however, it is most commonly diagnosed before the age of 20 and after the age of 60. The epilepsy sensor does not have weight restrictions.
