WHAT IS THE EPILEPSY SENSOR?

The Emfit sensor monitors a person with epilepsy while they sleep. Patented sensor technology detects all of a person’s movement in bed and is able to differentiate normal movements from epileptic seizures. It consists of a sensor, a control unit and a radio transmitter.

The bed sensor is extremely thin and contains no embedded wires or switches. An alarm can then be raised through a local audible alarm if there is a carer nearby.

Features

Epilepsy sensor monitors more than just vibration – reduces false calls
Sensitivity adjustment – adjusts to the individual’s requirements
Unobtrusive – minimises user disruption
Plug and play registration – program with ease
Automatic radio trigger low battery warning - ensure optimum operation

Why is it needed?

The sensor is used to alert an onsite carer when a person begins to seize during sleep and requires immediate assistance.

Seizing during sleep can be dangerous as it places a person at risk of:

inhaling vomit or other fluids if not rolled onto their side.
coming into contact with furniture or objects surrounding the bed.
falling from their bed

The sensor reduces the need for carers to make physical checks, promoting independence and dignity for the user.

Who is it for?

This solution may benefit people living with epilepsy to support and complement professional care where individuals are concerned about having seizures overnight.

Epilepsy can develop at any age; however, it is most commonly diagnosed before the age of 20 and after the age of 60. The epilepsy sensor does not have weight restrictions, making it a suitable solution for children as well as adults.
