Embrace 2 ( SEIZURE MONITOR)

The Embrace2 from Empatica is a sleek, medical-grade wearable designed specifically to help people with epilepsy by detecting and alerting others to convulsive seizures. It’s worn on your wrist like a stylish smartwatch—think minimalist design with a comfy strap—and it’s packed with advanced tech to monitor your body’s signals.

Here’s how it works: Embrace2 uses a combination of sensors, including an accelerometer and gyroscope, to track movement patterns, plus electrodermal activity (EDA) sensors to measure subtle changes in skin conductance—stuff that can spike during a seizure. It’s paired with a smartphone app (called the Alert App) that runs some pretty smart AI to analyze this data in real time. If it detects a convulsive seizure—like a tonic-clonic one—it sends an alert via text or call to your chosen caregivers, so they can check on you fast. It also logs the event with a timestamp, which can be super helpful for tracking patterns or sharing with your doctor.

Beyond seizures, it doubles as an activity tracker, monitoring steps, sleep, and physical exertion, so you get a broader picture of your day-to-day. The battery lasts about 48 hours on a single charge, and it’s water-resistant, so you don’t have to stress about splashes or sweat. You’ll need a subscription  to unlock the full seizure detection and alert features, and it works with iPhones (iOS 10+) or Androids (5.0+ with Bluetooth).

It’s FDA-cleared in the US for seizure monitoring, which means it’s legit for medical use, and it’s been a game-changer for lots of folks—especially kids or adults who might not always have someone nearby. It’s not a cure-all—it’s built for convulsive seizures, so it might not catch every type of epileptic event. 

In short, Embrace2 is like a high-tech safety net—discreet, reliable, and there to give you and your loved ones some peace of mind. Interested in snagging one or just curious about the specs?
