Embrace + Alert App
Participants will wear an Embrace smartwatch to collect data, and will provide survey/diary information on the occurrence of seizures. The device sends data to the Alert app, which issues either true detections or false alarms when it detects a possible convulsive seizure. Participants are asked to either cancel (in real time) or mark (at a later time) all false alarms using the Alert app.
