Join us for an upcoming webinar exploring the impact of SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy) awareness on families and caregivers 💜

🗓 Thursday, May 7
⏰ 9:30–10:30am PT | 12:30–1:30pm ET | 6:30–7:30pm CET

Earlier this year, we shared research published in Neurology Journal examining how prior awareness of SUDEP can influence a parent’s grief, trauma, and long-term coping after the loss of a child.

In this session, we’re honored to host two of the study’s authors, joined by Empatica Co-Founder & Chief Scientist Rosalind Picard, as well as a parent who tragically lost their son to SUDEP without prior knowledge of the risks.

These are difficult conversations, but important ones that help build greater awareness and better support for families. For clinicians, this session offers important perspectives on how to approach SUDEP conversations with greater clarity and compassion.

Join us to explore how awareness, or lack of awareness, of SUDEP influences parental grief and bereavement outcomes. Bringing together clinical perspective, lived experience, and research insights.

💜 Did you know that Dai Greene lives with epilepsy?

🏅The former World, European, and Commonwealth 400-meter hurdles champion was diagnosed with epilepsy when he was 17.

Dai noticed that tiredness, disruption to his routine, and alcohol were seizure triggers for him, so he switched to a no alcohol, healthy and balanced diet, ensuring he got lots of sleep.

Dai didn’t let his epilepsy get in the way of his dreams and is a true inspiration.

Nicole tragically lost her husband to ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects movement and muscle control. She is now an advocate and participates in a Massachusetts General Hospital study using the EmbracePlus wearable to advance ALS research.

"This type of terminal diagnosis comes with no cure, little to no treatments, and a fate that takes your ability to walk, talk, eat, and breathe – at a progression you have no control over. To honor my late husband and father to my three small children (ages 6, 4, and almost 2), I have turned to advocacy to find purpose, channel my pain, and make an impact.

I am now part of two observational research studies at Mass General Hospital (MGH) in Boston at the Healey Center as a healthy control. One of the studies uses an EmbracePlus to measure important vitals (e.g., heart rate, respiratory rate, oxygen saturation) to better predict respiratory events in people living with ALS."

🎤 British comedian Jake Lambert is known for turning his personal experiences into sharp, relatable humor. Diagnosed with epilepsy while at university, he has lived with the condition for over a decade, managing it with treatment while building a successful comedy career.

🧠 Epilepsy is no laughing matter. But Jake uses comedy in a powerful way, sharing real-life moments that thousands of people can relate to, while making audiences feel more comfortable talking about it.

By laughing at his own experiences, he’s helping to break down stigma, spark conversations, and remind people that epilepsy is something you can live with, not something that defines you.
