Leisure and recreational activities are a part of our everyday lives. Physical activities, sports, and other leisurely pastimes including hobbies and relaxation enable us to experience new things and expand our knowledge base. They are a way of socialising with others, learning new skills, and participating events larger than ourselves.
Individuals with epilepsy, including children, need not be restricted in their leisure, and sporting activities. In fact, such activities are even more important for people with chronic illnesses, as they can help alleviate feelings of depression, encourage independence, and improve self-esteem.
Depending on your child’s specific type of seizures, it makes sense to plan ahead and take the necessary precautions to ensure a safe and fulfilling experience.
What can I do to help my child have the freedom they need while ensuring they are safe?
The Epi-Care Free is the only wrist sensor with the ability to detect tonic-clonic seizures. The Epi-Care sensor provides unequalled safety features to the wearer whether going about his or her daily routine or asleep. It is suitable for all adults and for children over the age of 10. The Epi-Care is an easy to use, lightweight, discreet sensor worn on the wrist that is able to detect vibrations that occur during tonic-clonic seizures.
Why choose Epi-Care?
The Epi-Care sensor provides a much more accurate and flexible solution compared to traditional bed-based alarms. The wrist worn alarm provides a much more precise diagnosis of a seizure. Additionally, the number of false alarms has been shown to be dramatically reduced compared to older style systems. Which is great news for any mum caring for a child with this epilepsy.
How will I know if my child is having a seizure?
The Epi-Care sensor sends seizure alert signals in 2 ways:
SMARTPHONE APP (ANDROID ONLY)
The Epi-Care wrist sensor connects to an Epi-Care app on the android phone via Bluetooth. If a seizure alert is raised the details will be sent immediately to registered friends or loved ones. The information sent will include the GPS location of the wearer.
THE STATIC HOME UNIT
With this static unit the wearer of the Epi-Care watch is monitored while they are within range of the unit (approximately 20 meters). This allows the wearer free movement around the house. If a larger area needs to be covered signal-repeaters can be installed.
