Seizure alarms

[Angie140720]

Hi, does anyone know of a wearable seizure alarm that goes straight to the emergency services? The last of my daughters has left home and I am now on my own and although controlled at the moment, I am concerned if I have a seizure, if a message goes to relatives, by the time anyone gets to me it may be too late as I stop breathing and do not know if I will restart without help. Thank you.

Hi Angie140720

We've some information on our website about different mobile seizure alarms and apps that might be useful for people with epilepsy. We also list other types of alarms and monitors that are available. Please contact the supplier directly to see if any would suit your needs.

We are not aware of any alarms that go straight to 999. The alarm alert would either go to family and/or a call center connected to the alarm service. And if needed, they call the emergency services to check on you.
