Actor James Denton, known for his role in Desperate Housewives, shared an important message about supporting people with epilepsy through The 'Talk About It' Company video campaign.

His message reminds us that showing compassion, offering reassurance, and helping someone feel understood can make a real difference. Knowing seizure first aid is, of course, vital. So is being a friend who checks in, listens, and keeps including them in plans without making a big deal of it.

By spreading awareness and learning how to support those affected, we can all play a part in creating a more supportive community for people living with epilepsy. 💜

Some high-movement activities, like an intense workout or deep cleaning the kitchen, can occasionally trigger an alert when you’re not having a seizure.

If that happens, you can cancel the alert directly in the app. Your caregivers will see it was a false alarm, so they'll know you’re okay and won’t have to worry or check in unnecessarily.

You can also adjust sensitivity in your settings to match your routine. If you’re regularly active, this can help reduce false alarms while EpiMonitor keeps working in the background. 💜

Jessica Warner-Judd, a British Olympian and long-distance runner, has shared her experience with epilepsy after having a seizure during the 10,000m final at the 2024 European Championships in Rome.

Following her diagnosis, Jess took time away from running to recover and adjust to life with epilepsy. She later returned to training and competition, continuing her career as a professional athlete.

Today, Jess continues to compete while speaking openly about her experience with epilepsy and what it has meant for her as an athlete. 💜

No two Parkinson’s journeys look the same.

Medication might be taken two, three, four times a day or more, and how it works can shift with an individual’s routine. That makes the day-to-day experience hard to see from a few appointments a year.

In our recent webinar, our panel discussed how continuous, objective monitoring can make that daily reality more visible. Wendy Barnett, Parkinson’s Exercise Specialist and Founder of PD Paladins, shared a real-world example of the impact it had for a member of her exercise class.

Objective data can work alongside what people with Parkinson’s notice and share themselves, helping everyone involved in their care have a fuller picture.

In honor of World Mental Health Day, earlier this week we hosted a lunchtime wellbeing session for the team.

According to the WHO, more than 1 billion people worldwide live with a mental health condition, which is about 1 in 7 people. It's a reminder that making time for wellbeing matters, even on busy workdays.

The team stepped away from their screens for some breathing exercises, followed by a gentle flow and stretching session. Thank you to everyone who joined.

Epilepsy affects more than seizures. Many people also deal with anxiety, exhaustion, and feeling alone with it all. If that sounds like you, what you feel is valid, and it's okay to ask for support.

Caregivers, your wellbeing counts too. Rest without feeling guilty, ask for help, and take some time for yourself. 🧠💚

In honor of Carla Jeffery, known for her role as Bree in Disney’s Zombies, we’re remembering the story she chose to tell about living with epilepsy.

When Carla first started acting, she worried that epilepsy could affect her career. She was afraid to tell people about her condition and anxious about having a seizure on set. With support from her manager and those around her, she grew more comfortable opening up about what she was going through.

Carla spoke with Epilepsy Foundation of America about her journey and brought her story to a wider audience through a Disney Channel PSA for Disability Pride Month, hoping to help others feel less alone. Her courage and openness continue to inspire and empower many facing similar challenges every day. 💜

🏃🏽‍♀️ Yesterday morning, colleagues from our Milan office were up bright and early to take part in the PolimiRun, a non-competitive 10km through the city, open to runners of every level.

Some aimed for a personal best; others ran their first 10km, but the group finished together, encouraging each other from start to finish.

It reflects how we operate at Empatica: we go far together, whether on a course through Milan or in the work we do every day.

Congratulations to everyone who ran, and thank you to those who came out to support them. 👏
