Digital Health for Epilepsy with Teresa Prego of EpiWatch

  • Summary

  • Epilepsy is a neurological disorder affecting millions worldwide, significantly impacting the quality of life of both patients and their loved ones. Traditional management usually relies heavily on medication, which can have severe side effects. Despite the high prevalence of the condition, there is still a lack of objective data on seizure activity.

    EpiWatch CEO, Teresa Prego, joins this episode to discuss their wearable device designed to detect and alert for tonic-clonic seizures. By leveraging Apple Watch technology, EpiWatch provides real-time seizure detection and can alert caregivers, potentially reducing the risk of injury and improving response times. The device also collects valuable data on seizure patterns, enabling clinicians to make more informed treatment decisions.

    By partnering with clinicians, pharmaceutical companies, and device manufacturers, EpiWatch can integrate seamlessly with existing healthcare solutions, helping contribute to a broader ecosystem of epilepsy management. With FDA clearance anticipated in 2025, EpiWatch has the potential to revolutionize the way epilepsy is managed, improving the lives of patients and their families, a mission sure to leave you informed and inspired.
