Epilepsy ≠ Just Shaking

❌ Myth: “Epilepsy always means shaking fits.”
✅ Fact: Not all seizures look the same. Some may involve blank stares, lip smacking, confusion, or brief lapses in awareness.
👀 Awareness of ALL seizure types means more people can help when it matters.

Meet the new NightWatch+

The Next Step in Seizure Detection Technology

The NightWatch+ epilepsy monitor is now here, offering even greater accuracy, connectivity and peace of mind for people living with epilepsy and their families.

Now a class IIa medical device, with its enhanced heart rate and movement monitoring, improved alerts and new smart features, NightWatch+ helps ensure timely assistance during serious night time seizures.

🎥 Watch our video to see how NightWatch+ works and how it can help protect the people you love.

We are pleased to announce that we are launching NightWatch+ within the next several weeks. This is the successor to the original NightWatch, which has been on the market since 2018. Once NightWatch+ is launched, the original NightWatch will no longer be available. Spare parts will of course, remain available.

NightWatch+ brings the same high level of seizure detection, but meets the requirements of a higher safety class, registered with the TGA as a class IIa.

It also offers a number of improvements that benefit both wearers and healthcare providers. In the images, we outline the changes so you can assess the product and determine its suitability.

Let’s talk about SUDEP | Because awareness empowers action.

SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy) is rare, but understanding the risk factors can help people living with epilepsy stay safer.

👉 It’s most likely to occur during or after a seizure, particularly at night
👉 Those with frequent tonic-clonic seizures may be more at risk
👉 Tools like seizure alert devices, medication routines, and safety plans can make a difference

By sharing knowledge and encouraging open conversations, we can support safer outcomes for people with epilepsy and their families.

💜 Stay informed. Stay prepared. Stay connected.

🧠 Not all seizures are the same and understanding the difference is important.

Seizures are grouped into two main types:

🔹 Partial (Focal) Seizures – These begin in one specific area of the brain. The person may remain aware or become confused, and the symptoms can vary depending on which part of the brain is affected.

🔹 Generalised Seizures – These affect both sides of the brain at once and often involve a loss of consciousness, muscle stiffness, or jerking movements.

Raising awareness of the different types of seizures helps reduce stigma, improves response in emergencies, and ensures people living with epilepsy get the care and understanding they deserve. 💜

At Seizure Alert Australia, we’re committed to supporting families, and helping improve safety through early detection and awareness tools.

Knowledge is powerful.

🔎 Ep-i-lep-sy – Let’s break it down.

Epilepsy is a neurological disorder that causes sudden, recurrent seizures due to abnormal electrical activity in the brain. It affects millions worldwide, yet misconceptions remain.

💜 This month, let’s take a moment to learn, support, and spread understanding. Because awareness leads to better care, support, and inclusivity for those living with epilepsy.

Epilepsy can affect anyone, at any stage of life. While it’s most commonly diagnosed in children and those over 65, it’s important to raise awareness, support research, and improve care for everyone living with epilepsy. 💜

Together, we can make a difference. Share this to spread awareness!

Every day, around 40 Australians are diagnosed with epilepsy. That’s more than 14,000 new cases each year.

Epilepsy is a neurological condition that can affect anyone at any age. With greater awareness and understanding, we can help improve the lives of over 250,000 Australians living with epilepsy. Early detection, monitoring, and proper management are essential for safety and well-being.

The recent changes to NDIS funding for assistive technology aim to improve accessibility and streamline the approval process, especially for low-cost devices, while still ensuring that more advanced technology can be funded when necessary. Understanding the low, mid, and high-range funding categories can help you plan and make informed decisions about the best seizure support equipment for your needs. Whether you need a simple alert device or a more sophisticated monitoring system, the NDIS is here to help make sure that the technology you use is both effective and supported.
