Wireless Technology offers safety for persons suffering from epilepsy.

Epilepsy is one of the most complicated chronic health conditions worldwide. Coping well with epilepsy means not only managing its seizures but managing its impact on your entire family and making the most of your day-to-day lives. Tunstall Emergency Response have introduced to the market a new wrist-worn sensor designed to detect seizures associated with tonic-clonic epilepsy.

Bringing new wireless technology to the care of people suffering with epilepsy, the Epi-Care® Free Mobile sensor provides around the clock monitoring. The sensor, which is paired with an android smartphone, can detect seizures during the day and at night. This allows great freedom for the wearer and for family and caregivers.

The Epi-Care® Free sensor is worn around the wrist. The sensor makes ongoing and very precise measurements of any movement and recognises the difference between epileptic and normal movements. Any epileptic event will be immediately notified via an SMS including a GPS location. The contact can then deal with the situation personally, or pass the coordinates on to the emergency services.

Celebrating 20 years in business this year, Tunstall Emergency Response is the market-leading provider of telehealthcare solutions in Ireland. Our solutions support older people and those with long-term needs in effective management of their health, well-being and desire for independent living.
