About the app
You can use the Alert app to check that the Embrace is connected properly, to manage your settings for notifying a caregiver in the event of a seizure, and for noting down whether the generated alerts were an actual seizure or a false alarm.
In order to work, the Android phone must be kept in the same room as the patient with the Embrace watch.
Every time the Embrace watch detects a possible epileptic seizure, it generates an alert.
Please open the Alert application whenever an alert occurs (or at least once a day) and note down:
1
if each alert was a seizure or a false alarm
2
if it was a seizure, the severity of attack and its duration
The Alert app is divided into the following sections
Status
1
Is the Embrace connected properly?
2
Will the Embrace call a caregiver in the event of an alert?
Is the option to call a caregiver in case of an alert activated?
3
Is rest mode activated?
Rest Mode increases sensitivity for night-time and sends an alert to the application.
!
Turn on rest mode before sleep.
