The Pulse Companion provides a method of detecting seizure activity that typically only
presents its-self in a change of heart rate.
The armband used does not contain an accelerometer and will not detect shaking movements, it only provides
reference heart rate readings. For Tonic-clonic (Shaking) style seizures our Companion Mini, Companion or
Guardian monitor may be more suitable.
Please note that the heart rate reading provided by the wearable sensor can struggle to accurately track the heart
rate when the user is moving around. As such, the sensor performs best when the user is in bed or sat down. If the
sensor is to be used while moving around, the alarm thresholds can be widened to accommodate the more varied
heart rate readings that are given by the sensor.
