EpiWatch App Has High Sensitivity for Detecting Tonic-Clonic Seizures

Summary: Imagine having an app on your watch that can tell if someone is having a severe seizure. A new study shows the EpiWatch app is amazing at exactly this! It correctly caught 46 out of 47 tonic-clonic seizures in kids and adults. It also doesn't cry wolf; it only gave a false alarm about once every 12 days. The only time it missed a seizure was when a caregiver was holding the patient's arm too tightly! Doctors say this app can give families peace of mind, especially at night, and help keep patients safe from sudden dangers.
