Case details
- Entity: Safe-Life Australia
- Product: Cura1 Seizure Alert Kit with Pager
- Location: Melbourne, Australia
- Use case: Home-based nocturnal epilepsy monitoring
- Audience: Families, carers, home care environments
What challenge needed solving?
A young lady in Melbourne experiences most of her epileptic seizures during sleep. Because events can occur without being witnessed, there was a risk of delayed assistance overnight. The family also reported ongoing anxiety because continuous bedroom monitoring was not practical.
The environment was a typical home setting. The solution needed to be suitable for night-time use, non-intrusive, and capable of alerting carers elsewhere in the home when seizure-related movement was detected.
Why was Safe-Life selected?
- Requirement for a home-use setup that could be self-installed without specialist infrastructure.
- Preference for a non-intrusive monitoring approach that supports privacy and dignity.
- Need for alerting via wireless pager(s) so carers could be notified from other rooms.
- Ability to source the system from an Australian provider for local support and supply.
What solution was implemented?
Safe-Life supplied the Cura1 Seizure Alert Kit with Pager, a plug-and-play monitoring kit designed for home use. The kit detects seizure-related movements during sleep and sends an alert to wireless pager receiver(s) when an event is detected.
- Safe-Life discussed the client’s night-time seizure risk and the family’s monitoring needs.
- The family selected a home-use kit from the Cura1 seizure monitoring range.
- Safe-Life supplied the Cura1 Seizure Alert Kit with Pager.
- The family self-installed the system and positioned it for night-time monitoring.
- Pager alerting was used so carers could receive notifications while elsewhere in the home.
