I have one and it sort of works. It actually only detects falls that may be caused by seizures, not actual seizures. All my recent seizures have occurred while I was on the couch watching tv, so it’s never gone off. But it does provide peace of mind.

I tried the seizealarm app on my Apple Watch but it’s AWFUL and comes with a very high subscription annual fee. Don’t bother - technology isn’t advanced enough yet but I’m sure it will be in like 5 years.

Yes! There's an app called SeizAlarm, designed for both iPhone and Apple Watch, that can detect signs of a seizure — like unusual movements or sudden changes in heart rate — and send alerts to emergency contacts along with your location.

Yes! There's an app called SeizAlarm, designed for both iPhone and Apple Watch, that can detect signs of a seizure — like unusual movements or sudden changes in heart rate — and send alerts to emergency contacts along with your location.

Here's a quick rundown of how it works:

- It uses the Apple Watch's motion sensors to detect seizure-related movements
- It logs seizure data and shows a graph of seizure frequency over time
- It notifies your emergency contacts if a seizure is detected

One important heads-up: using the app with just an iPhone (strapped to your body) is less accurate than pairing it with an Apple Watch. So the watch really does make a difference here! SeizAlarm is available as a free trial, but after that, a monthly or yearly subscription fee is required for the alert services. It's worth discussing with your care team to see if it's a good fit for your needs.
