What is a Clinically Proven Seizure Alarm

A Clinically Proven Seizure Alarm is a medical device that monitors abnormal movements or heart rate and will sound an alarm to alert emergency services or loved ones. They can be worn as a bracelet or placed under your mattress.

The best devices for you may depend on your type of epilepsy and the types of seizures you experience. They don’t prevent or cure seizures, but they do help you get the help you need if you’re having a seizure.

Some devices also include a video camera or a GPS location system to allow you to save your event and send it to someone for assistance. These devices are not designed to detect every type of seizure or every type of movement, but they can be helpful if you have specific seizures that involve large repetitive movements, such as those found in complex partial seizures or tonic-clonic seizures.

The most important feature for a device is high detection sensitivity and low false alarm rate (FAR). Sensitivity refers to the ratio of true-positive to false-positive detections, while FAR indicates how often an event will be detected in real-time but not trigger an alarm or engage a therapeutic intervention.
