SeizAlarm: Seizure Detection

Help when you need it, for those with seizure disorders.
Category Price Seller Device
Medical Free SeizAlarm, LLC iPhone, iPad, iPod

SeizAlarm is a user-friendly iPhone and Apple Watch app which allows those with epilepsy and other seizure disorders to alert emergency contacts when they need help*.

Features:

- Seizure detection. Seizure-like detection is done via the motion sensors on the iPhone and/or motion sensors or heart rate sensor on the Apple Watch. Sensitivity controls allow you to set customized settings specific to you. When a potential seizure is detected, emergency contacts will automatically be contacted via multiple channels (text message, phone call, and email).

- Send immediate help requests manually to emergency contacts.

- Also available is a manually activated time delayed help request feature (via the "Time Delayed Help" button) that is helpful for those that have localized seizures (auras) that may turn into generalized tonic-clonic seizures. You are able to custom set the delay time in the settings. When a seizure warning is initiated you will see a countdown which can be extended via the press of a button. If you end up becoming unresponsive due to a seizure then once the timer ends then a help request will be sent.

- When a help request is sent your contacts will be contacted with GPS coordinates (if available), so they know exactly where you are.

- You can are also able to track your seizure events with robust logging features. A log dashboard gives you a high-level view of past events. You can also export reports to provide to your doctor.

- SeizAlarm also supports multiple emergency contact support, so more than one person can be contacted when you need help.

- Optional audible siren and/or custom voice message that plays if a help request is sent.

- International phone number support for emergency contact(s).

Help is just a button press away. Start taking back your independence today.

Please give us feedback on how the seizure detection is working for you. The more feedback we receive will provide us the information we need to improve detection and reduce false alarms in future versions.

If you have any questions or have feedback, please contact us at: [email protected]. We want to make SeizAlarm the best that it can be, so feedback from our users is very important to us.

NOTES:
- Does not support a Watch set up with "Family Setup".
- Continued use of GPS running in the background can dramatically decrease battery life.
- Recommended placement of the iPhone for seizure detection is on the arm using an arm band.
- Long use of Watch based seizure-like motion and elevated heart rate detection may dramatically decrease watch battery life.

Worked very well
Party Shuffle

My adult daughter installed this app having very recently had her first seizure. We installed the app on Tuesday and got her an Apple Watch on Wednesday with the sensitivity set at moderate. That night at midnight she had her second tonic-clonic (grand mal) seizure in her sleep . SeizAlarm detected it and I immediately started getting notifications via phone, text and email. This has already given me a great relief knowing I can be aware and that she needs assistance. Well done.


Best app for heart rate seizure alerts
tcmtravel

My daughter takes 4 epilepsy medications that keep her convulsions low during seizures however does not stop the actual seizures. Her seizures are caught by the increase in heart rate. This app is the only one I have found that reliably alerts me when her heart rate begins to increase at night. We have been able to step in and administer medication for seizures we otherwise would not have known were happening unless we were looking at her at that moment. The Apple 4 watch battery life is lasting 8-9 hours where the series 1 and 2 were only about 4 hours.


Great seizure alert
LakeBolick

This is the best app ever!!!! The only down side to it does drain the Apple Watch but over all it’s a super great app!


Excellent and very reasonably priced
07sidearm

Adjusting the motion and heart rate sensitivity eliminated false alarms. My daughter turns it off if she’s doing vigorous activities. Customer support was very quick and helpful.


Simply doesn’t work
Really Really Busy Mom

Doesn’t pick up seizure like activity Phone doesn’t alarm nor play help message and I paid for this


Don’t bother purchasing this app
Themusicman08

So I am a bit confused when it comes to this application and looking at all that it does with in the App Store and it’s so called description of the app. When you get the app, it says that it’s free. When you sign up, you better look at the FinePrint especially those who use voiceover. It informs you that you get a two week free trial of the application and then have to pay for it. Why in the world would you get an app that supposed to be free and then turn around and pay for it? There should be two versions of the app. There should be a free version with in app purchases, then there should be a paid version of the application. I am very dissatisfied at what the developer is trying to do. You’re trying to get money for a free app and in the sign-up process you’re basically scamming people. In my opinion, this is not good business. Especially for those who have seizure disorders.

It doesn’t alert my I.C.E. Contact or track my seizures at all when the app’s not open


Battery life
sollife20

I was excited to get this app for my seizures! But I have nocturnal seizures and the watch dies even if fully charged when I go to sleep. I wake up and the watch is off. So this is useless since my seizures happen while I sleep! Will you be able to fix this problem!! I really hope you can. If not I will probably return the watch!


Bought it 1 day before a seizure
Bizco17

My wife was skeptical and we were deciding between this and a competitor but so glad we went with this. I bought an Apple Watch specifically to help if I had a seizure alone and the next day I did. My wife was alerted right away and called me and came right home. This app and watch give me confidence that is hard to come by with epilepsy. Any doubts that I had that it wouldn’t catch my seizures is gone. Never will I be without it again. It does drain the battery pretty fast but it shows exactly where you are via GPS which is crucial so that will improve with future Apple Watch versions and possibly updates. Thanks Seizalarm!!!!!


A true lifesaver!
Sue Byczko

This app is AMAZING! I bought this app for my son who is non-verbal and has epilepsy. His seizures vary between convulsive to tonic so the heart rate feature is exactly what we needed. This app alerts me via phone calls and texts (user defined) to a change in his heart rate, either high or low (user defined limits) and/or convulsive movements recorded on his Apple Watch. This app is peace of mind for every parent whose child has seizures! The cost is more than reasonable for the services it provides! I purchased the whole year as I am that confident that it fit our needs. Thank you for an amazing app. Here’s to a full nights sleep.
