Seizures pose a significant challenge for many people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD), profoundly impacting their quality of life and presenting a constant concern for their caregivers. The unpredictable nature of seizures, combined with the diverse range of seizure types and intensities, has created a need for technology solutions tailored to meet these unique challenges. Seizure detection devices are rapidly becoming an invaluable asset to assist caregivers, helping to identify seizure-like symptoms and help with seizure management in a timely manner.

The power of detection technology lies in its ability to inform and assist caregivers. Alerts from BoundaryCare are more than just notifications; they provide specific, helpful information. Based on their customized settings, caregivers can better gauge the potential severity of each event, better informing their response.
