SeizAlarm: Seizure Detection

Alerted my family when I was brushing my teeth.

This app is perfect for me. I have only had one so far, and it happened while I was sleeping. However, it drains battery like crazy, which is very annoying and worrisome because what if the battery runs out and it can’t alert my parents? Also, it is very sensitive to some arm movements, such as rolling over in bed or slathering on some hand lotion. I only need to use it at night, which doesn’t bother me as much, except when it makes noise because I was rolling over. Other than that, this app is great and very useful! Thanks 😊

Has not tracked any of my seizures and makes my watch die within couple of hours or less… very disappointing!

My 12 year old had a clonic tonic seizure yesterday and the alarm didn’t go off.

Our daughter has seizures and we are notified quickly.

Just like you, ladydior420, I have had seizures at night. But only one so far. But I need to work at sleeping in my own bed again, and with this app, I will surely make it through the night safely. Thanks! 😊

I find this app to be a bit glitchy and annoying. For starters, it is extremely over-sensitive and I find myself having to correct for false positives way too often even on the lowest sensitivity setting. I also noticed a glitch with my Apple Watch where my time asleep is being counted as activity/calories burned. I also can’t have my regular watch face on while in tracking mode (I have to use the app’s face, which doesn’t turn off at night so I can sleep). This on top of how horrible the effect on battery life is on both my phone and watch. I do really like the voice/read out message feature and the process for alerts. That being said, I won’t be able to continue using until some of the glitches (mainly with the activity tracking and battery) are dealt with.

This is the only seizure app I have ever used but I have found it very useful. It has alerted my family when I’ve had seizures which has been extremely helpful, especially when I’ve been home alone. I would recommend this app. It is pricey, however being in some of the situations I’ve been in and the help that I was able to get due to the app, it’s worth it. I must add that there are a few things to know before purchasing this app. It does use a lot of battery power during the day. I have an Apple Watch Series 5 and I only get about 12-13 hours of use of the watch when the app is on. You can adjust the settings, which is crucial. I’ve had to be careful with this as weird movements or sometimes a high heart rate can set it off if the settings are set too sensitive. Another thing that I find a bit annoying is I can’t figure out how to get the app display off my watch while it’s on. I’ve done it a few times by accident but don’t know how I’ve done it. I’d rather see the time on my watch, not the seizure app. I also don’t like others seeing it. So, all in all, I believe it’s a great app. The only reason I have given it four stars is due to the battery life and not being able to hide the app on the face of my watch.

This app is a cash grab to take advantage of those with seizures , the app plays as if it’s a free app but reading the agreements they want to charge you a ridiculous amount for it . Not only will I not be using this app , I’m making sure to post this in every social media platform possible , this apps a scam

I tried three apps (seizure alert, inspyre and this) and found this one to be the best. Please note, I’m not a professional so I do not know it’s accuracy for detection when compared to the other two. However, two big differences, it can monitor heart rate as a secondary indicator and it’s sensor level can be increased or decreased to avoid false detections (as much as possible). It allows an unlimited number of contacts and you can select each of them to be called, texted, or emailed or any combination. It provides details on each line of communication that you have had a seizure and your gps coordinates so they can find you. It is set up so you can use it on your phone or watch. I found the one on phone useless but the watch excellent. I have tonic clonic seizures with no warning signs and what was great about this app is I can set it for a delay time to avoid false alarms. I have mine at 60 seconds so I can cancel before anyone is contacted and avoid family and friends panicking. If I don’t cancel in time it can still cancel after alert is sent and everyone is sent another alert saying you are okay. Oh, and it can be set to send up to three rounds of alerts. You can also have it so your watch makes noises or reads a message for you/those around you to hear. What a lot of people have found to be an issue is it being the main screen on their watch. I have an Apple Watch 5 and it took some playing around but now it works and isn’t what I see unless I click on it or on the icon at the top of the screen where it says if you have notifications. I obviously need to make sure the app (and music app) are always on After it goes off I do have to go into the app and click to turn the monitor on and off again but that is easy. Overall, this is exactly what I needed, what I cannot attest to, as I perviously stated, is it’s detection accuracy.
