#EmbraceWatch
Alert App requires both Bluetooth® and either an Internet or cellular data connection in order to deliver notifications.In 2007, the team at MIT Media Lab led by Prof. Rosalind Picard – Empatica’s Chief Scientist – developed a wearable that measured changes on the surface of the skin communicating the main component of stress. For the first time in daily life, you could easily see when stress started to grow, even before you might notice it.
After the research of Picard’s team was published, many families asked for a personal version of the device to send alerts when a seizure might be happening.
The Embrace was designed specifically for people with epilepsy and carefully crafted not to be stigmatizing. With award-winning design, Embrace represents an example of what technology should be: caring, more human, and available to everyone.
These are experiences of individuals who have used the Embrace system. Individual results may vary.
We do not guarantee that Embrace and the Alert App will detect every single seizure and deliver alerts accordingly. They are not meant to substitute your current seizure monitoring practices, but rather to serve as a supplement in expediting first-response time
