To set up and use EmbracePlus, your device must have Bluetooth® 5.0 or higher. Although EmbracePlus works with the majority of devices, for optimal use we suggest using one from this list.

Turn on EmbracePlus by pressing the upper side button. It will greet you with a ‘HI’. If EmbracePlus does not immediately wake up, we recommend placing it on the charger, in case the battery is drained. Once it is awake or been charged you can follow the app instructions to pair your EmbracePlus to EpiMonitor..

Charging your EmbracePlus

EpiMonitor's smart tech checks your body signals for seizure patterns. When it finds one, it sends an alert to get you help fast. Here are the key EpiMonitor actions in case of a possible seizure:

1. Seizure detected: When EpiMonitor detects a possible seizure, it starts a 15-second countdown.
2. Cancel option: In case of a false alarm, you can cancel the alert during the countdown by pressing the lower side button.
3. Caregiver alert: Once the countdown ends, EpiMonitor calls and texts your caregivers for help.
4. Reassurance SMS: After the alert, you have the option of sending an automated text message to your active caregivers informing them you're okay. The option stays active for four minutes.

Manually alert your caregivers with EmbracePlus:

• Press the upper side button: Press the upper side button on EmbracePlus. You should see the battery level.
• Press it again: Press the upper side button again. You'll should see the EpiMonitor logo with a question mark.
• Hold to confirm: Keep the upper side button pressed until the alert process starts.
• Changed your mind? You can cancel the alert through the app or by pressing the lower button on the EmbracePlus.

Adjust how EpiMonitor detects seizures with Sensing Precision. Tap the "Sensing Precision" card, and select:

• High: Best for rest times. It catches even small movements but it may give more false alerts during other activities.
• Low: Good for light daily tasks. It won't alert you in case of small repetitive movements but it may miss some seizures.
• Off: Be cautious. It won't detect vigorous activity and won't send alerts for seizures. Make sure you're safe when using it.
• Schedule: if you choose Low or Off, confirm and set a time range. EpiMonitor will revert to High Sensing Precision after the appointed time range is met.

Your Caregivers are the people who will receive seizure alerts from EpiMonitor, and will be called for help in case of a possible seizure. It is important to:

• Choose carefully: Pick people you trust and explain their role. You can add them in the app anytime.
• Set up correctly: The app guides you through adding your first Caregiver when you log in. Be sure to let them know you are adding them as a caregiver and that they will be alerted in case of a possible seizure.
• Have active Caregivers: Make sure your Caregivers are active to get alerts. If they're not active, EpiMonitor will not be able to send out alerts to them.

How Caregivers receive alerts:

• EpiMonitor will trigger an automated phone call with a pre-recorded audio to your Caregivers if it detects a possible seizure.
• In case you have the Standard and Plus plan, they will also receive your location via SMS for extra safety.

Managing Caregivers:

• Tap "Caregiver Card" to add or delete Caregivers.
• Each Caregiver profile contains their name, country code, and phone number.
• You can activate or deactivate Caregivers at any time.
• Important: The number of active caregivers you can have depends on your subscription plan.

Keep track of your seizures with My diary:

• EpiMonitor automatically logs seizures: EpiMonitor records the detected seizures in your diary.
• Manually add seizures: You can also manually add seizures by tapping the “+” icon.
• Review and confirm seizures: It is important to review and confirm your seizures. Tap on a seizure card to add any additional details for a more complete diary.

View and send reports:
