Seizure detection for nocturnal epilepsy
NightWatch warns caregivers remotely in the event of possible epileptic seizures during sleep. NightWatch was invented and developed by a consortium of Dutch neurologists, patient organisations, universities and hi-tech industries and recommended by patients.
NightWatch consists of a comfortable wireless arm module that closely tracks heart rate and motion to detect seizures while the wearer is lying in bed.
When NightWatch detects a potentially dangerous seizure, a warning is transmitted via a wireless signal from the arm module to the corresponding base station to warn a caregiver.
Precise and versatile
NightWatch can detect various types of seizures with a high level of precision, including:
- Tonic-clonic seizures
-
Tonic seizures
-
Hyperkinetic seizures
-
Clustered myoclonic seizures
Clinically proven effective
The SEIN and Kempenhaeghe epilepsy centres successfully tested NightWatch over thousands of nights and found it to be significantly better than the alternative methods available.
NightWatch detects up to 100% of the most dangerous seizures.
The NightWatch Portal
NightWatch can optionally be connected to the internet to obtain a readout of the wearer’s data in an online portal. This provides insight into how the night went and helps you better understand why NightWatch gave notifications, if any. It eliminates any uncertainty about what happened during the night.

NightWatch is very easy to install and use at home.
Healthcare professionals
NightWatch detects the majority of potentially dangerous epileptic seizures at an early stage. It improves the quality of care and reduces the burden on healthcare professionals who are responsible for clients with severe nocturnal epileptic seizures. Connecting NightWatch to existing medical call systems can be easily integrated into healthcare processes.
Couples
NightWatch can help the partner of an epilepsy patient get better sleep by emitting a warning signal when a possibly dangerous seizure is taking place. Thereby, the partner can quickly take action, if necessary, which may enable both of them to sleep more peacefully.
Connections
NightWatch can be connected to various medical call systems.
Medical call systems
The base station is equipped to connect to all medical care systems as standard, so that possible potentially dangerous seizures can be reported to nursing providers, such as the night-time care team, immediately.
