4/5How does this work
There is little information to find to demonstrate how this works. I see no way to log information or no notifications that insure it is monitoring or not. They were quick to activate my account once I uploaded the prescription (less than 12 hours) and the test alert and calls worked well for everyone, but that’s it. Having some reassurance or at the least an official video that shows what the app looks like both from the phone, and from the actual watch would be helpful. Also I am a parent with my child’s watch and child’s apple id paired to my phone so that would need a separate video than an adult monitoring their own. Thankya

4/5I like it
It alerted my husband during a tonic clonic seizure and it doesn’t have false alarms which is nice. I like that it’s FDA approved I just wish it wasn’t so much more expensive than the other apps. I also like that they added a seizure log type thing to it so you can record when you have one. Overall it does its job it’s just so pricey($20 a month when most others are $12-$14 a month)so that’s why I give it a 4.

5/5Caregiver -Kathryn Gurley
This App alerted our son Ben, who has Epilepsy and Ventricular Tachycardia. The App alerted Ben BEFORE he had a tonic-clonic or grand mal seizure! It is very dark out, and Ben’s blood sugar was low. Ben drank some ginger ale, and Ben did not go into a seizure because of this App! We are SO GRATEFUL! We were in the same room and heard the ding, then a ten-second countdown to alert caregivers, which Ben stopped because we were with him. We have NEVER had an APP ( and we have tried them ALL alert us before a seizure! This is Brilliant, THANK YOU EpiWatch! 🙏

3/5Latest update makes the watch die quickly
The most recent update makes Apple Watch count the monitoring sessions as a workout - this makes the watch die quickly, which is a problem if you need to wear the watch continuously for many hours. The battery used to last ~12 hours while monitoring continuously, now the watch dies after ~7 hours of monitoring. We reached out to the support email but have not received a response, hopefully there’s an updated fix soon. Prior to this we had no complaints!!

1/5Don’t waste your time
I found an article online praising EpiWatch. I read how it was the only FDA approved app. Once I tried to create an account, it then requires a prescription from your doctor. Which was fine. What they don’t disclosed up front is the annual cost of $220 to use the app. You don’t find this out until after you downloaded the app, create the account, have your provider send you a script, send the script to the app, the app has to approve your script. Then after all that, you are hit with a fee of $220. Please don’t waste your time and energy.

Versions

App Store

1.1.1
1.1.2
Bug Fixes & Stability: Resolved Monitoring Initiation Issue: We fixed a bug that could occasionally cause the app to mistakenly determine that accelerometer data was unavailable, which would prevent the user from starting a monitoring session.
1.2.0
Standalone Watch Support: - Link any Apple Watch to EpiWatch without iPhone pairing. Generate a 6-digit code on your iPhone, enter it on the watch, and you're connected. Ideal for Family Setup watches, secondary devices, or providing monitoring for a loved one. Manage all linked devices and revoke access from the new Linked Devices screen in Settings. Enhanced Safety Reliability: - Improved GPS accuracy ensures your caregivers receive your precise location during emergencies - Detection events are now captured immediately, even if you're unable to interact with your watch after a seizure Accidental Alert Prevention: - The Help button now requires a 2-second press-and-hold to activate, with visual and haptic feedback. This prevents false alarms while keeping emergency assistance instantly accessible. Additional Improvements: - New email confirmation step during signup reduces account setup issues - Resolved authentication issues that could cause unexpected logouts on Apple Watch - Fixed sensor validation timing to reduce sample tracking error messages
1.2.2
Background Alarms - Seizure alarms will now sound in the background when you navigate away from the application. Seizure Diary & Calendar: - A full seizure history is now available directly in the app. Browse by year or month, view color-coded event indicators, and tap any day to see a detailed timeline of detections, auras, and manual entries. - Log seizures and auras you experienced outside of a detection. This includes type, duration, severity, level of awareness, and whether you had a warning aura beforehand. - Classify automated detections as seizure, false positive, or unknown directly from the calendar. Add or edit clinical details on any event at any time. - A dedicated "To Classify" queue surfaces all pending detections in one place. Regulatory & Compliance: - Unique Device Identifier (UDI) is now displayed in Settings. Bug Fixes & Improvements: - Resolved an issue where the calendar could display events in the wrong time slot after traveling across time zones - Fixed a rare crash that could occur when rapidly switching between months - General stability and performance improvements
1.2.3
Improved alarm reliability: Seizure alerts and Help button alarms now continue playing at full volume when your wrist is lowered or the screen turns off, ensuring life-safety alarms are never missed.
1.2.4
What's New - Added a new prompt to help you easily start monitoring for automated seizure detection. - Improved Apple Watch integration so that starting a session no longer interferes with your daily Activity rings.

1.2.5

What's New: - Redesigned onboarding to make setup clearer and easier to complete. - Added guided education screens for monitoring, alerts, caregivers, reports, and Apple Watch setup. - Moved seizure journaling and manual logging earlier in setup, so users can access them before prescription review is complete. - Added a new Apple Watch complication. Bug Fixes & Improvements: - Improved login reliability so sessions are handled more smoothly. - Fixed issues that could cause users to be signed out unexpectedly. - Improved calendar loading. - Improved Apple Watch monitoring reliability. - General bug fixes and stability improvements to keep the app running smoothly.
