It's only suitable for people with convulsive type seizures in the US you need a prescription to purchase it but not if you live outside the US.

I had never heard of it before. I just read the information and I'm gonna talk with my Dr about it tomorrow. I'm home by myself most of the time and my kids and husband worry about me having a seizure while I'm by myself. My husband calls to check on me all the time when he's at work.

The peace of mind it's given my husband is worth every penny.
I wear it when I'm alone.
We did go thru a trial and error peroid the first couple months. Learning what activities set it off. Like Vacuuming.
Over all it's been helpful and comforting and I completely recommend it πŸ™‚
