ساعت هوشمند مچی جدید به نام Embrace می‌تواند علائم هشداردهنده حمله صرع را شناسایی کند. این سامانه که توسط شرکت Empatica و با همکاری دانشگاه ام‌آی‌تی ارائه شده، فعالیت الکتریکی پوست را به عنوان نشانگر تغییرات عمیق در مغز ارزیابی می‌کند. این سیستم از مدلی مبتنی بر سال‌ها داده‌های بالینی برای تشخیص این موضوع کمک می‌کند که کدام تغییرات، پیش‌بینی‌کننده صرع هستند.در طول حمله صرع، فعالیت بالای آمیگدال (ناحیه‌ای در مغز) منجر به توقف تنفس میشود. این فعالیت بالا همچنین پاسخ رسانایی الکتریکی بالای پوست را موجب میشود. ساعت مچی هوشمند جدید این واکنش را شکار کرده و از آن به عنوان ابزاری برای ارسال پیغام هشدار استفاده می‌کند.زمانی که Embrace یک حمله صرع مشهود را شناسایی می‌کند، پیغامی را به دوستان از پیش تعیین‌شده یا خانواده فرد بیمار ارسال می‌کند. این ساعت همچنین دمای معمولی و داده‌های حرکتی دریافتی را جمع‌آوری می‌کند و به کاربر امکان اندازه‌گیری فعالیت فیزیکی و کیفیت خوابش را می‌دهد. شناسایی حملات صرع با ساعت هوشمند در تاریخ ارسال مطلب به قیمت ۱۹۹ در امریکا فروخته میشود. English text The first medical-quality wearable to help measure stress, epileptic seizures, activity and sleep. Embrace is a watch that looks great on anyone. It can track your activity, stress and overall balance. It is designed to bring a better lifestyle to people that live with Epilepsy: they get an alert when an unusual event happens, like a convulsive seizure, warning them and their loved ones. When you support Embrace with the $189 perk, you get a gorgeous smart watch. On top of that, if you order before Dec 24, through the extended duration of the campaign, we will give an Embrace to a child living with epilepsy that can’t afford one, thanks to the generosity of a group of donors. A GORGEOUS SMART WATCH FOR YOU Embrace is a medical quality device to monitor and better understand your behavior. Embrace is designed to be a gorgeous watch: the band is lush Italian leather and the case is strong, polished metal. Embrace is the thinnest smart watch of this kind ever made. It snaps on, then tightens with a magnet for perfect fit. A GORGEOUS SMART WATCH FOR YOU Embrace is a medical quality device to monitor and better understand your behavior. Embrace is designed to be a gorgeous watch: the band is lush Italian leather and the case is strong, polished metal. Embrace is the thinnest smart watch of this kind ever made. It snaps on, then tightens with a magnet for perfect fit. You can choose to use it simply as a watch to tell time, in which case your battery should last 6 months. Embrace makes it very easy to monitor physiological stress, arousal, sleep and physical activity. You can check your entire day in a glance in a way that is easy to understand. Not only during exercise, but also at work, during your commute, during the night. If you push yourself too much, the Embrace will gently remind you with a vibration, that you need some time to recover. You can customize it to suit your needs and behavior. This is what wearables were supposed to be: quiet, small, useful. DESIGNED TO SAVE LIVES When people that have Epilepsy wear Embrace, they will get an alert when an unusual event happens, like a convulsive seizure. It will go via their smartphone to parents, roommates or caregivers, so somebody can check on them. Additionally, one of these caregivers can wear a ‘companion’ Embrace too. When the two Embraces are within range (e.g. in nearby rooms), the ‘companion’ Embrace worn by the caregivers will vibrate to alert them. Electrodermal activity, or EDA, is autonomic data that is activated by regions deep in the brain involved in emotions such as fear, anxiety, and positive excitement. It is strongly activated during the kinds of seizures that involve a region of the brain that has been shown to shut down breathing. If you are interested in the scientific literature, you can check here. You can see the powerful medical findings that can be obtained from our work in journals such as Epilepsia, Neurology, Nature – and we are planning to go for FDA clearance. IF YOU GET AN EMBRACE, A CHILD WITH EPILEPSY WILL GET ONE TOO Your Embrace will help someone to have a better life. We are partnering with the Epilepsy foundation and private donors. Due to the generosity of a group of donors that know Empatica and its mission, the first 4000 Embrace watches purchased by this campaign before Dec 24, 2014 BEFORE JANUARY 21st will be matched 1:1, loaded with the seizure detector app, and donated to the Epilepsy Foundation for distribution to families in need. ۱ of every 26 people in the USA will suffer from Epilepsy at some point in their lifetime (Institute of Medicine, 2012). Today, approximately 65 million people suffer from Epilepsy worldwide. More people die of SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy) than of house fires every year. But every home has a smoke detector. Everybody with epilepsy should have a device that alerts people in their vicinity so that they can promptly provide assistance when needed. Your purchase here can contribute to build a better world for these people! OUR STORY In 2007, Prof. Picard’s team at the MIT Media Lab developed a wearable that measured changes on the surface of the skin communicating the main component of stress. For the first time in daily life, you could easily see when stress started to grow, even before you might notice it. While trying to help people with autism to be better understood, Picard found an unusually huge response from one participant. It turned out to be a seizure! This led to new investigations with Boston Children’s hospital in Boston. With data from over 90 patients, the team learned they had built a more accurate method for seizure detection. Their research became published in top peer-reviewed medical and engineering journals, patents were issued, and a version of their sensor is now in use in hundreds of top labs, universities, and hospitals. While research continues for epilepsy and other medical conditions, many families have asked us for a personal version of the device to give alerts when a seizure might be happening. Experts tell us that these alerts could save lives. Also, many friends keep asking us for a low-cost version “to see when stress is escalating” in themselves or a spouse or child. Our wearable can help with all of these needs! At Empatica, we marry the best science with the best of design and customer experience. We’re proud to finally be launching Embrace, addressing the needs of all – whether you live with stress, seizures, or simply want a gorgeous way to tell the time! EMBRACE FEATURES EMBRACE APPS Embrace can run multiple apps in real time, sending data wirelessly to your phone. At launch, Embrace will come with two apps: (۱) Empatica Mate, personal stress, sleep, and activity feedback for everybody. Empatica Mate also comes with a diary for understanding better your daily life. (۲) Empatica Alert, an event detector for people with Epilepsy. Empatica Mate This app will provide you with customized insights on your behavior. You can set up Embrace to vibrate when you reach a certain level that you want to monitor. For example, you can set it to vibrate gently when your body’s stress level is climbing, before it gets too high, while you can still have a positive response. Empatica Mate makes it easy for you to see how your body’s stress levels changed with your daily activities. Empatica Mate can also show detail how your body’s stress level changed during each of your daily activities, like commuting by car vs. bike, meeting with your boss vs. a friend, and physical activity. Monitoring System Empatica Alert In addition to the capabilities above, you will be able to monitor events that might be a convulsive seizure, and get an alert that will go both to the wearer (where it can be silenced if needed) and to selected family members or friends who can bring help. This app will have a premium service with more features. All those who buy an Embrace during Indiegogo will have 6 months of access to the Premium version. Alert System APIs Like we did with our research device, we plan to open our APIs, so that many other medical conditions can benefit from the same data.
