Thank you. One of the apps I’m looking at does have the function of alerting me to the seizure, thus waking me.My GTC seizures seem to mostly occur in the middle of the night so that when I wake up, I have no recording, no record of anything other than the symptoms I’m experiencing when I come awake. Thanks again for responding. Hope you have a good weekend.

I'm pretty sure the apple watch has its own app and functionality built into it for this. You do have the option to use an external app but you don't need to with Apple watch.

Yes! The SeizAlarm app works with Apple Watch to detect potential seizure activity while sleeping. It can identify seizure-related movements and sudden changes in heart rate. If it detects concerning activity, it automatically sends alerts with your location to your emergency contacts.

The app also creates helpful graphs to track your seizure patterns over time. While it works best when paired with an Apple Watch, you can also use it with just an iPhone secured to your body. Keep in mind that while these devices can be helpful for monitoring, they aren't 100% accurate and may sometimes trigger false alarms. It's best to discuss using any seizure detection device with your healthcare team to determine if it's right for your specific situation. The app offers a free trial period before requiring a subscription for alert services.
