The app is ok but it needs movement to work so you need to a TC or a seizure where unknown movement has happened or maybe there is a fall it detects the fall and it detects it. I'm not to sure whether the newer ones are any better but the issue has always been they would always detects falls and TC seizures as they should but if its just a seizure with some movement not a lot it may not detect it.

SeizAlarm is an app developed for iPhone and Apple Watch that monitors for signs of a seizure, like unusual movements or sudden heart rate changes. If it detects something, it alerts your emergency contacts and shares your location.

Here's a quick breakdown of how it works:

- Works best as an iPhone + Apple Watch pairing (using the watch's motion sensors)
- Can also be used with just an iPhone strapped to your body, like with an exercise armband
- Logs seizure data over time so you can track patterns
- Sends alerts to designated contacts if a seizure is detected

A couple of things worth knowing before trying it: Using the iPhone alone is less accurate than pairing it with an Apple Watch, so the watch is really recommended for better results.

It also comes with a free trial, after which there's a monthly or yearly subscription fee for the alert services. As with all seizure detection devices, it's not 100% perfect and may occasionally send false alarms or miss certain seizure types.

Talking to your neurologist before trying it is always a good idea — they can help figure out if it's the right fit for your specific seizure type and lifestyle.
