What is this category?
This category covers seizure alert devices that use an under-mattress seizure sensor mat to detect strong rhythmic movements linked with convulsive seizures. These are not diagnostic medical devices. They provide an added layer of safety during sleep. Safe-Life supplies Cura1 options including the home-use Cura1 Seizure Alert Kit with Pager and facility-use systems designed for nurse call integration.
How do these products work?
- The seizure mat sits under the mattress where it senses repetitive movement.
- The connected monitor analyses the pattern of motion.
- If the pattern resembles tonic clonic seizure activity, the alert triggers.
- The alert is sent to a pager or nurse call point depending on the kit.
- Carers can respond quickly to check on the person.
Who are these products for?
- People with epilepsy who have nocturnal seizures
- Parents needing night-time monitoring for children
- NDIS participants seeking safer independent living
- Adults who live alone and require seizure alerting
- Aged-care, SDA and disability facilities needing reliable bed-based monitoring

Where should a seizure mat be placed?
Under the mattress near the torso area where strong movement can be detected.
Does a seizure alert device work for children?
Yes, provided correct placement and mattress compatibility.
Can seizure alert devices be funded through the NDIS?
Many participants purchase seizure mats through NDIS funding when linked to safety needs.
Do these systems require WiFi?
No. Alerts are sent via pager or nurse-call connections.
Is the alert immediate?
