3. The NightWatch
3.1 Product description and intended use
The NightWatch is intended to alert the user to possible night-time epileptic seizures. While
the person with epilepsy (hereafter: the wearer) sleeps, carers can be notified when an
'urgent seizure' occurs. This refers to tonic-clonic, prolonged tonic or hypermotor seizures.
The NightWatch continuously measures the wearer's movements and heartbeat. The device
is intended to be used during sleep and will only display alerts when the wearer is in a
recumbent position.
