All the Empatica Team together in Milan! (November 2016)

Dear Supporters,

It’s that time of the year when we deck the halls and the streets in an array of green, red, white and lots of lights! A time when we kick back, relax and enjoy the company of friends and family.

This is the time for us to think about our supporters and to give you useful gifts before Christmas!

Building a product like the Embrace was a daunting task and the first time we had such a large audience. We faced countless issues, challenges and delays. Thanks to your constant presence and support, we were able to overcome these hurdles. In fact your feedback, comments and suggestions made us realize how much this product is needed.

In the future, we’ll continue working with you. In fact, we’ve just carried out a survey among our current Embrace users to better understand your needs. From the many things that we’ve learnt from this survey, we found a loud signal in two particular areas: stress monitoring and being able to adjust seizure detection sensitivity. Both features present many challenges to overcome, but we are working on it (many among us even during the Holidays)!

Now, it’s time for the gift!

Many of you asked for a better way to display the seizures detected by the Embrace to your doctors instead of taking screenshots of the Alert app. We listened and the result is a brand-new feature in your Empatica Account!

You can access your Seizure Report and see your own in your Empatica Account.

Now, you can access your monthly seizure report, review each seizure, print it out and show it to your doctor.

We would like to know what you think and how we can improve it, please fill out the survey at the bottom of the page to communicate with us.

Go to your Monthly Seizure Report here

The Seizure Report can also be printed in a neat format.

As the year comes to an end and you look back in time, we think you should be proud of yourself. In the future, when people use Embrace and the technologies derived from it, you can say you were there from the start. You supported it! You believed in this project and put your trust in us.

We are thankful to you for giving us the opportunity and responsibility to work on something as meaningful and useful; something that can truly improve the lives of many people.

Happy Holidays!

The merry team at Empatica
