Why is FDA clearance important?
Empatica is proud to have received FDA-clearance for EpiMonitor.
The clearance process for medical devices involves an extensive and independent review of the clinical data showing that a device is safe and effective, as well as an assessment of testing related to usability and cybersecurity.
Unlike consumer devices offering seizure detection apps, EpiMonitor has undergone rigorous validation and testing, demonstrating a 98% detection accuracy against the gold standard of hospital-based EEG measurement.

Empatica is running a first-of-its-kind study to develop a seizure forecasting algorithm using real-world data, collected with groundbreaking wearable technology.
The study is open to all US users of EpiMonitor. Anyone wanting to enroll can declare their interest when purchasing EpiMonitor, and will be compensated for their time and effort with $50 off the final price.
Frequently Asked Questions
How does EpiMonitor work?
When the EpiMonitor algorithm detects unusual patterns that may be associated with generalized tonic-clonic seizures lasting longer than 20 seconds, it will communicate with the companion EpiMonitor App installed on the user’s dedicated smartphone to alert active caregivers with a phone call and a text message. It is designed to expedite assistance when a seizure occurs.
For the EpiMonitor system to function as designed, watch wearers are required to have a compatible smartphone with Bluetooth and internet connectivity. The phone needs to be kept within 15 feet of the EmbracePlus watch for alerts to be sent.
What’s the minimum age to use EpiMonitor?
The EpiMonitor system is suitable and validated for adults and children ages 6 and up. Use in children younger than 6 should be evaluated by a clinician on a case-by-case basis.
Please note that the EpiMonitor system requires:
- A dedicated compatible smartphone with Bluetooth and an internet connection
- The smartphone to remain within 15 feet of the EmbracePlus device at all times
How can I purchase EpiMonitor?
Available exclusively through our authorised reseller Epilepsy Alarms UK - https://epilepsyalarms.co.uk/
What type of seizures is EpiMonitor able to detect?
The EpiMonitor algorithm is designed to detect unusual patterns associated with generalized tonic-clonic seizures lasting 20 seconds or longer. It is not designed to detect seizures that do not generate movements such as complex partial seizures, absence seizures or non-convulsive seizures. However, you can manually add other types of seizures to the EpiMonitor App to keep track of all seizure events.
Is a prescription needed to purchase the EpiMonitor?
Customers in the UK do not need a prescription to purchase EpiMonitor.
