The Companion System
A connected
patch
A connected patch that embeds a seizure detection system and allows the patient a prompt reaction.
A mobile application
An intuitive and playful companion app for mobile devices that enables the patient to have a better understanding of his disease, to design a journal of seizures, to share information with neurologists and other caregivers, etc.
How does it work?
Aura aims to deliver a detection device based on real-time monitoring of physiological signs that occur prior to an epileptic seizure. Thanks to the embedded algorithms based on the latest artificial intelligence technologies, the system works with all patients and enables a customized monitoring.
