Problem
Individuals with epilepsy and their families face challenges in detecting seizures promptly, especially during times when they are alone or asleep. Traditional methods of seizure monitoring often rely on manual observation, which can be inconsistent and lead to delayed intervention. This can result in increased risk of injury and anxiety for both the individual and their caregivers.
Solution
Epipal is a mobile application designed to provide research-backed seizure detection and comprehensive epilepsy management for individuals and their support networks. The app leverages smartphone and smartwatch sensors to detect potential convulsive seizures and falls, triggering an alarm and sending alerts to designated emergency contacts if the user doesn't respond. Epipal also facilitates collaborative medication tracking and journaling, enabling families to monitor adherence, log seizure events, and identify potential triggers. By connecting individuals with epilepsy and their caregivers, Epipal aims to improve safety, promote proactive management, and enhance peace of mind.
