Embrace Watch
The first smartwatch and medical-quality wearable that detects epileptic seizures
Embrace is the first smartwatch and medical-quality wearable that detects epileptic seizures and measures the the onset of convulsive seizures. The minimalist design also alerts caregivers when their loved ones are at risk. Considering that in the United States, 1 in 26 people will develop epilepsy at some point in their lifetime, this device has the opportunity to remove stigma from a life-threatening condition for millions of people.
