Empatica has been the market leader in providing the world’s only medical watches for people living with epilepsy for nearly a decade. Epilepsy affects 6 million people in Europe, with approximately 15% of those being children. Studies indicate that up to 40% of epilepsy cases are difficult to treat, and a third of people with epilepsy are refractory to current medications. Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy (SUDEP) is the number one cause of epilepsy-related deaths in people with pharmacoresistant epilepsy. Most SUDEP deaths occur when a generalized tonic-clonic seizure occurs during sleep.
EpiMonitor can be purchased directly from our online store.
