Meet Jason, one of our EpiMonitor users. Outside of drumming with his marching band, he is a passionate advocate for epilepsy awareness and dedicates his career to caring for fellow patients as a registered nurse in the United States.

"My name is Jason Raether, and I am 1 in 26. My first witnessed seizure was in October, 2010. This started a whirlwind of provider visits, tests, and medication changes. During all of this, I was told I had had these since I was a child, but they were missed because mine mainly occurred in my sleep. I was also told I was at high risk for SUDEP. A constant message to me was: “You’re very lucky”.

A few years ago, I started seeing a new neurologist, and she asked if I had ever heard of Empatica and their watches to wear to detect if I have seizures. Sad to say, I had not. By the end of that day, we had started the process to make sure I had one. It has given me, my family, and all around me calm and peace of mind. Most recently, it picked up two seizures that happened at night, and that started me on a massive medication change. I am going from 20 pills a day to one. I feel better than ever, and it all started with my EpiMonitor."

At Empatica, our goal is to make seizure monitoring technology accessible to as many people living with epilepsy as possible. While broader support and reimbursement from governments and healthcare systems are still needed, partnerships continue to play an important role in supporting families.

That’s why partnerships like the Epilepsy Foundation of America ’s Erin’s Embrace Program are so important. Created in memory of Erin Hurt, the program helps eligible patients cover the cost of EpiMonitor, Empatica’s FDA-cleared seizure monitoring device.

💜 Thank you to the Epilepsy Foundation Alabama, Epilepsy Foundation Nebraska, Epilepsy Foundation Mississippi and New Jersey Epilepsy Foundation for your collaboration and continued commitment to supporting families affected by epilepsy.

Neil Young’s journey with epilepsy is a reminder that a diagnosis does not define what someone can achieve. Through decades of music, creativity, and resilience, he continued to create, perform, and inspire millions around the world.

By speaking openly about health challenges in his life, including childhood polio and a brain aneurysm, Young also helped bring more visibility to neurological conditions that are often misunderstood.

Your journey may look different than someone else’s, but it can still be full of purpose, creativity, and possibility. 💜

📱⌚ One small feature that can make a big difference.

With EpiMonitor, you can adjust your device’s vibration intensity to whatever feels most comfortable for you, choosing between low, medium, or high, directly in the app.

It’s a simple way to make the experience feel a little more personal, while still helping caregivers stay informed when needed.

You’ll find the setting under “Vibration Settings” in the status section of the EpiMonitor app.

SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy) is one of the most serious, yet under-discussed, risks associated with epilepsy. Despite advances in care and prevention, many people living with epilepsy and their families are still not routinely made aware of it.

In our latest webinar, Dr Itay Tokatly Latzer describes the “snowball effect” of SUDEP unawareness across healthcare: when cases are under-recognized and under-reported, prevalence appears lower than it truly is, conversations happen less often, and opportunities for prevention can be missed.

Even though these conversations can be difficult, awareness matters. Open discussions about SUDEP can encourage better adherence to prescribed treatment, support preventative action, and help families navigate difficult outcomes with greater clarity.

Opening up to KTLA Entertainment last week, the parents of the late actor Cameron Boyce shared the reason behind their advocacy.

Through The Cameron Boyce Foundation, they continue to raise awareness of SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy), an often underrecognized and underreported risk, and push for more open conversations, education, and support for families.

These conversations aren’t easy, but they’re essential 💜
