Empatica

“It's brilliant, made my recent appointment with a new neurologist so much easier to prepare for.”

“Embrace2 allows you to gain your independence back with peace of mind, knowing that it will alert your caregivers when you need help.”

“I wear my Embrace 24/7. Knowing that if I have a seizure my family will be notified has given me so much confidence.”

“As a mum of two children, the Embrace puts my mind at rest knowing that if I were to have a seizure my children wouldn't be alone dealing with it for too long, help would arrive fairly quickly :).”

“The Embrace has literally changed my life so drastically that I now consider myself free from the restraints of a constant caretaker. It has given me a reason to look forward to life and have hope.”

“We’ve had our #EmbraceWatch since about the end of September 2016 and it has become a sense of relief for the whole family, including Abbygael who isn't afraid to talk to people about her watch and reminds you to put it on her!”

“Every single one of the past 629 nights, I have had to let go, to convince myself to go to sleep. I am incredibly grateful for Tucker's new #EmbraceWatch . I know that it does not change the reality of his condition, but it does change my experience living with it.”

“Thanks to the Embrace I now have a peace of mind knowing that my daughter is not all alone. If I don't catch the seizure myself the watch will. It has given me and her too a feeling of reassurance and safety.”

“Life before the #EmbraceWatch was stressful. Now, if Gianna has a seizure, I will know as soon as it happens, along with her other Caregivers, and can make arrangements for whoever is closest to her to go help.”

“I’ve been suffering with #Epilepsy for 18 years. With the Embrace I can now move in total freedom and recently I’ve been able to finish my studies: I’m a chemist!”

“The #EmbraceWatch for me means I can fall asleep knowing I am a little safer against #SUDEP. It means lower rates of #depression for myself. It means more #freedom for me during the day.”

“My stress level has gone way down and I sleep better now knowing that my son Noah, born with Hydrocephalus, has the #EmbraceWatch.”

“I walked away to make lunch and the Embrace texted and called both my husband and I to let us know our daughter was having a seizure. Now I won't have to worry about missing a seizure.”

““Empatica’s tech let us get the biosensor data and access to the raw data that enabled us to make these predictions.””

“No doubt devices like EmbracePlus have a place in space missions: they provide an easy way of continuously monitoring the crew’s health. Technology is improving, but we cannot replace a human with a robot. Robotic tech is an addition, but wherever there will be people, there will be issues, no matter their environments and where they are.”

“While preliminary quantitative results are not available at this stage, the data acquired using the Empatica device will help us to contextualize hormonal changes by providing objective, time-matched measures of sleep disruption, autonomic activity, and other physiological variables. We are enthusiastic about the unique insights this dataset holds, and we look forward to sharing the formal results upon completion of our data analysis and subsequent publication in scientific journals. Updates on the project’s progress and findings will be made available via the APEX website (www.altitude.org).”

“The EmbracePlus device was essential to our APEX 7 HiCORT study, providing continuous and objective monitoring of the research participants’ physiological state and activity levels around the clock.”

““Wearable data is crucial for obtaining real-world evidence of the effectiveness of hearing loss treatments. I believe this will play an increasingly important role in the future, as research consistently shows that hearing loss and treatment thereof influence general health and wellbeing.””

““The EmbracePlus works seamlessly as it is always-on and requires minimal user intervention. Many of our participants are older and not always tech-savvy, so the fact that the device is so autonomous works well.””

“As a researcher, having access to Empatica Care is going to be valuable during data collection.”

“In our testing of the EmbracePlus, we have found it comfortable and stylish, and the Care App that participants download onto their phone is easy to use.”

“We are thrilled to be working with our SME partner, Empatica, to incorporate their new EmbracePlus device into the ART system, to obtain unobtrusive, real-time, detailed data on, physical activity, sleep, autonomic arousal, and indicators of cardiovascular health (heart rate per minute, heart rate variability, oxygen saturation (SpO2)).”

““Broadly to many chronic conditions outside Crohn’s. The most value is likely in enabling patients to self-monitor, reflect, and potentially intervene in their own condition”.”

““Many individuals do not follow wearable aggregated trends, which highlights the danger of the reliance on population level analytic approaches, which many groups use when analyzing wearable data”.”

““Empatica’s technology contributed to our awareness of how heterogeneous stress is within and between individuals.””
