SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy) is one of the most serious risks associated with epilepsy, yet many people living with the condition, and those who care for them, have never heard of it.

While not all risk factors can be controlled, understanding the ones that can be modified is an important step toward reducing risk and feeling more empowered in managing epilepsy.

In our latest webinar, Dr. Phillip Pearl discusses practical ways patients and caregivers can help lower risk, including medication adherence, lifestyle considerations, nighttime supervision, and the role of seizure monitoring devices.

Knowledge can make a difference. 💜

⚽ With football/soccer on everyone's mind right now, we're taking inspiration from someone who knows a thing or two about pushing through!

Leon Legge is an English former professional defender, but his journey hasn't been without its challenges. Diagnosed with epilepsy at just 16 years old, he spent years proving that a life-changing diagnosis doesn't have to define your limits.

Passionate about breaking the stigma around epilepsy, Leon even started a blog to help others navigating the same path because no one should have to face it alone. 💜

We've landed in Baltimore for SLEEP 2026! 💤

Sleep is closely connected to conditions like epilepsy and Parkinson's disease. Disrupted sleep is one of the most common yet overlooked challenges in both conditions, and continuous, objective monitoring can make a real difference to scientific research and the care people receive.

If you're at the conference, come say hi at Booth #306. We'd love to connect! 👋

We're heading to SLEEP 2026 next week, one of the biggest gatherings of sleep medicine professionals and researchers in the world! 💤

Sleep and health are deeply connected. For people living with neurological conditions like Parkinson's disease or epilepsy, disrupted sleep is a real and often overlooked part of daily life.

We're proud that clinicians and researchers around the world use our technology to better understand how these conditions affect sleep and how symptoms change throughout the night, supporting more informed, personalized care for patients.

Did you know that the Scottish singer Susan Boyle had epilepsy?

She rose to fame in 2009 on a UK talent show, with her debut 2009 album topping the Billboard 200 for six weeks, and courageously opened up about her epilepsy in a 2011 interview

🚀 Despite the challenges, Susan went on to achieve a great deal in the music industry and has recently made a comeback, returning to the recording studio for the first time in six years and featuring in a new advert supporting Scotland for the upcoming World Cup.

Her story is a reminder that no matter the odds, dreams are still worth chasing. 🌟

Talking about SUDEP can be one of the most difficult conversations in epilepsy care, but avoiding the conversation does not protect patients or families.

In our recent webinar, our speakers discussed how conversations around SUDEP risk can be made more supportive by focusing on practical steps patients and caregivers can take, including medication adherence, lifestyle considerations, and tools such as seizure detection devices. Providing tangible ways to help manage risk can also make these difficult discussions easier for clinicians to approach in a more constructive and reassuring way without causing unnecessary anxiety or leaving families feeling helpless.

One of the key themes from the conversation was the importance of awareness, and how awareness, or the lack of it, can profoundly shape parental grief after loss. Open, supportive discussions can help ensure patients and caregivers feel informed, prepared, and less alone in navigating epilepsy and SUDEP risk.

Last month, we took Women's Health Month offline and onto the padel court. 🎾

The Empatica team came together for a little friendly competition, a reminder that investing in women's health means more than awareness. It means building environments where women feel energized, supported, and celebrated every day.

Actress Lake Bell, whose daughter was diagnosed with epilepsy at 5, reminds us that the way we talk about epilepsy matters, for our children, our families, and our communities. 💜

She's now starring in Under the Lights, a film screening across the US that's doing more than telling a story; it's breaking stigma, changing perceptions, and giving a voice to the real experiences of people living with epilepsy every day. 🎬

Because being a little sparkly does not have to be something to fear, it's something to own. ✨

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.
