Before we know more about this amazing monitor, Let us find out more about epilepsy/ seizure

What is epilepsy?

Epilepsy is a neurological condition, which affects the nervous system. Epilepsy is also known as a seizure disorder. It is usually diagnosed after a person has had at least two seizures that were not caused by some known medical condition like alcohol withdrawal, extremely low blood sugar, heart problems or some other medical condition. Sometimes, according to the International League against Epilepsy, epilepsy can be diagnosed after one seizure, if a person has a condition that places them at high risk for having another.

What is Seizures?

Seizures are a symptom of something going on in the brain. Seizures seen in epilepsy are caused by disturbances in the electrical activity of the brain. The seizures in epilepsy may be related to a brain injury or a family tendency, but most of the time the cause is unknown. The word "epilepsy" does not indicate anything about the cause of the person's seizures, what type they are, or how severe they are. There are many different types of seizures.

What is SmartWatch?

The SmartWatch is a patented, intelligent, motion detecting and alerting wristwatch. SmartWatch is a fully portable non-invasive device that continuously monitors movement, analyzes the information for abnormalities, issues alerts and securely records events. SmartWatch offers autonomy and privacy for users, and peace-of-mind for their families.

How Clinical Studies supports its use

Clinical studies serve the purpose of validating the efficacy of the device in detecting seizures for a planned 510(k) FDA clearance and EC Directive 93/42/EEC certification.

Smart Monitor  conducts clinical studies with leading medical institutions to determine the efficacy of the SmartWatch device in detecting tonic-clonic seizures. Participants are recruited from patients who are admitted to the EMU for routine video and EEG recording for routine clinical care.

•Studies at Stanford with 40 participants were concluded in June 2010. The device performed with very high sensitivity – in the high 90s as noted in the journal article: Lockman  J, Fisher RS, Olson DM. Detection of seizure-like movements using a wrist accelerometer. Epilepsy and Behavior 2011;20:638-41

•Studies are currently underway at the University of California, San Francisco with pediatric patients. The device has been used on children as young as 3 years. Interim results, based on 500 hrs of testing– device sensitivity is in the high 90s, device specificity is in the 90th percentile.

How SmartWatch Works

SmartWatch works in conjunction with an Android smart phone:  We recommend the Nexus S 4G, Samsung Galaxy Nexus or Galaxy S II Skyrocket. The SmartWatch user needs to carry one of these phones with them or have it within a 10 foot range. When the SmartWatch detects movement outside a normal spectrum it wirelessly signals the smart phone which then automatically sends out text messages and phone calls to designated family members.

More info about SmartWatch

This is a patent protected, intelligent wristwatch that continuously monitors movements and alerts upon the onset of excessive or repetitive shaking motion. Automatic text message and phone call alerts are sent to designated family members and caregivers. Users can also summon help with a simple push of a “Help” button. The ability to track and record motion is an additional benefit of the SmartWatch. It records the time, duration and location of any unusual occurrences.  Users can securely access their archived information for later review.

The SmartWatch is currently available in two versions:

-          SmartWatch Standard

-          SmartWatch Premium

The newly introduced SmartWatch Premium has all the safety and convenience features of the SmartWatch Standard, with even more attributes to bring peace-of-mind to the users and their family. In addition to continuous monitoring and the customizable sensitivity and duration levels, the SmartWatch Premium has the following capabilities:

•GPS location: Physical location information of the SmartWatch user is included with alerts.

•Snooze: The user can temporarily “pause” the watch if they know they are going to be participating in activities that may trigger an alert inadvertently

•Multiple Contacts: Text message and phone call alerts can now be sent to multiple recipients

Often called the “peace-of-mind device”, SmartWatch is an easy-to-use, non-invasive, portable movement monitor. SmartWatch can be worn continuously – in and out of bed, indoors or outdoors, as people go about their day-to-day activities.

SmartWatch can alleviate fears that something could happen without being able to notify or get help in a timely fashion. SmartWatch offers autonomy and privacy for users and peace-of-mind for their families.
