The seizure diary you can rely on
Track your seizures and gain insights from your daily rest, physical activity, and medication adherence, all automated by your Embrace
Maintain an accurate seizure diary
All confirmed seizures from Alert are automatically reflected in Mate, and you can add others you may experience. Add notes to each seizure, like how you were feeling and what you were doing beforehand.
Improved Seizure Counts
Self-reported seizures tend to be incomplete and inaccurate.
Research has shown that, when recording seizures themselves, patients failed to document 55.5% of all recorded seizures1. FDA-cleared devices like Embrace have very high sensitivity, ensuring they automatically detect and log possible generalized tonic-clonic seizures, including nocturnal activity, with accuracy2, 3.

Never miss another dose
No need to go back and forth through apps to view all relevant information for managing your seizures. Set detailed medication reminders and view your medication adherence, alongside your daily rest and physical activity, all in one glance.
Why is taking medications on time so important?
It is important to take epilepsy medications on time, as prescribed by the doctor to prevent having increased seizures, or a breakthrough seizure.
Research has shown that up to 70% of epilepsy patients will be able to control their seizures with medications9, and missing one dose of Anti Epileptic Drugs (AEDs) can lead to a breakthrough seizure10.

Keep track of how much you move
Automatic activity recognition distinguishes between running, walking, and sport. You can also see the intensity of your physical activity and stats such as duration, distance, steps, and total active time.
Why is tracking physical activity important for epilepsy?
Mate enables you to see overall seizure frequency alongside your physical activity.
Being active has its own health benefits, improving a person’s overall fitness and helps relieve stress. Literature shows that for some people, overall well-being can help reduce seizure frequency6. While physical activity can help a person feel good, a lack of it on the other hand, can be linked to increased depression and anxiety7, 8.

Discover insights about your rest
Get detailed stats such as duration, interruptions, turns, and tosses. Advanced analysis lets you see how efficient your night's rest was, and compare it with your weekly average to identify patterns.
Why is rest analysis important?
The Mate App provides an in-depth analysis of your rest including duration, efficiency, and fragmentation.
A good night’s sleep plays a crucial role in a person’s overall health, even more so with epilepsy. Literature shows that the quantity and quality of rest may have an impact on seizures in various ways4. When a person sleeps, the brain’s electrical and hormonal activity changes, meaning seizures can be more likely to happen while falling asleep or when one is about to wake up5, 6. Though 7 to 8 hours of sleep is considered ideal, the quality of rest is more important7.
