Epilepsy and safer sleeping
NightWatch is a clinically proven system for detecting possible dangerous epileptic seizures during sleep.
​
Safe and effective seizure detection system
NightWatch is a comfortable armband that closely monitors the wearer’s heart rate and motion during sleep.
When the system suspects a possible major epileptic seizure, a warning is transmitted to a caregiver via a wireless signal to the armband’s corresponding base station.
The system is optimized to detect all possible dangerous epileptic seizures, including tonic and tonic-clonic seizures.
