Problem
People with epilepsy often experience sudden seizures without warning, leading to injuries, loss of independence, and heightened anxiety for both patients and caregivers. Traditional monitoring methods rely on intermittent clinical visits or bulky equipment, which cannot provide continuous, real‑time seizure prediction.
Solution
Episense offers a discreet, wearable EEG device that continuously records brain activity to identify irregular spikes that precede seizures. The system processes the EEG data locally and sends real‑time alerts to a companion mobile app, allowing users and caregivers to take preventive actions such as moving to a safe location or administering medication. The app visualizes activity trends, logs detected events, and provides personalized insights to support long‑term seizure management. By delivering early warnings in a compact, user‑friendly form factor, Episense aims to reduce injury risk and improve daily safety for individuals with epilepsy.
Target Audience
Primary customers are individuals with epilepsy and their caregivers who need continuous seizure monitoring, as well as neurologists and epilepsy clinics seeking objective, real‑time data to inform treatment plans.
