Epilert

Product Description

Epilert is a smart wearable device which uses advanced sensors along with Machine learning to detect epilepsy seizures, send alerts to caregivers, monitor sleep and physical activities. The device connects to a mobile application to sync data and send alerts. It detects seizures from the electrical activity of the body, the sensors transduce it into stress level. Currently the product is undergoing clinical trials.
