Top 7 Benefits of Using Lampsy for Nighttime Seizure Monitoring

When you're living with epilepsy or caring for someone who is, nighttime becomes one of the most anxiety-filled parts of the day. Research shows that 86% of nighttime seizures go unnoticed, leaving people with epilepsy vulnerable and caregivers exhausted from constant worry. If you've been searching for a reliable epilepsy monitoring device that doesn't compromise on comfort, privacy, or accuracy, you're in the right place.

Lampsy is transforming nighttime seizure monitoring with invisible technology that fits seamlessly into your home. Unlike traditional wearable devices, Lampsy works discreetly from a bedside lamp, using advanced AI to monitor epilepsy, especially while you or your loved one sleeps.

Let's explore the seven key benefits that make Lampsy a game-changer for the epilepsy community:

1. Unmatched Accuracy: 99.76% Seizure Detection Rate

When it comes to seizure detection, accuracy isn't just a number, it's about life and safety. Lampsy's advanced algorithm has been clinically validated to detect over 99% of movements that may be associated with tonic-clonic seizures, making it the most accurate epilepsy monitoring device available.

Why This Matters for You

Traditional wearable devices typically detect around 93-94% of nocturnal tonic-clonic seizures. While this might sound acceptable, it means missing approximately 1 in every 15-20 seizures. For families dealing with epilepsy, those missed seizures can be the difference between timely intervention and a medical emergency.

Lampsy's testing involved over 2,400 hours of real hospital footage from Portugal's top hospitals. The results have been published in Epilepsia, the world's leading scientific journal in epilepsy research.

What this means for your family: When Lampsy notifies you, you can trust it. You'll be there when it matters most, whether it's to administer rescue medication, prevent injury, or simply provide comfort during recovery.

2. Dramatically Fewer False Alarms

Here's a statistic that might surprise you: 64% of people who stop using seizure detection devices cite false alarms as the primary reason. Imagine being woken up every night by a false alarm. It's exhausting, anxiety-inducing and ultimately defeats the purpose of having peace of mind.

The Lampsy Difference

While leading wearable devices average approximately 1 false alarm per day, Lampsy's false alarm rate is 18x fewer than alternatives. We achieve this by using cutting-edge technology with a multi-layered approach. This isn't just clever engineering, it's the result of understanding that false alarms destroy trust and quality of life for families already managing so much.

3. Invisible Monitoring That Fits Your Life

Epilepsy doesn't define you or your loved one, so why should your monitoring device?

One of the most significant barriers to adoption of seizure detection technology has been visibility. Many people with epilepsy report feeling stigmatized by having to wear conspicuous wristbands or devices that constantly remind them (and everyone around them) of their condition.

Off-the-Person Freedom

Lampsy represents a new category of medical devices called "invisibles": technology so discreet it seamlessly integrates into daily life. Built into a regular bedside lamp, Lampsy monitors without being worn, eliminating common frustrations like:

• Skin irritation or discomfort from wearables;

• Battery anxiety and constant charging;

• Remembering to put the device on;

• Feeling self-conscious about visible medical equipment;

• Difficulty with device tolerance (especially important for children with cognitive challenges).

Your lamp is just a lamp, until you need it to be more.

Privacy-First Design

Lampsy uses Optical Flow motion quantification, which means it doesn't need to store identifiable video footage to work. The system can detect movement patterns while preserving your privacy by design. However, if you choose, you can record and share video of possible events, helping you understand what happened and empowering you with clear data.

4. Visual Monitoring for Greater Peace of Mind

Ask any parent of a child with epilepsy what they use for nighttime monitoring, and most will tell you they rely on a basic camera monitor.

Why? Because seeing their child provides irreplaceable reassurance that no "black box" device can match.

Live Video Streaming

Lampsy includes real-time video monitoring capability, functioning like an advanced baby monitor specifically designed for epilepsy. When you receive an alert, you can:

• Immediately assess the situation visually

• Judge whether you need to rush to the room or if the episode is subsiding

• Monitor your loved one's recovery after a seizure

• Feel connected even when you're in another room

This visual component isn't just about comfort, it's about being able to respond appropriately and quickly in real situations.

Better Information for Healthcare Providers

Healthcare teams frequently ask patients to record seizures because visual information is incredibly valuable for them to understand what's happening. With Lampsy, you can capture complete seizure events from the beginning, including critical movements. This empowers you with clar data that you can leverage when explaining recent episodes to your team

5. Comprehensive Nighttime Protection When You're Most Vulnerable

Nighttime is when seizure monitoring matters most. People with epilepsy are alone, unobserved and in their most vulnerable state. This is when the risk of SUDEP (Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy) is highest, and it's when 86% of seizures go unnoticed.

Real-Time Alerts That Save Lives

When Lampsy detects unusual movements, it immediately alerts designated caregivers or emergency contacts. This gives you the critical time needed to:

1. Prevent asphyxiation by repositioning the person

2. Administer rescue medication to stop prolonged seizures

3. Monitor for status epilepticus (seizures lasting more than 5 minutes) and call emergency services if needed

4. Prevent injury from ongoing seizure activity

5. Ensure safe recovery from the postictal state

Reclaim Your Sleep, Reduce Co-Sleeping

Many caregivers, especially parents of children with epilepsy, resort to co-sleeping because they're terrified of missing a seizure. This takes a toll on everyone's sleep quality and independence.

Lampsy offers an alternative. You can sleep in your own room, knowing that reliable technology is watching over your loved one and will alert you if help is needed.

6. Medically Certified and Clinically Validated

Our technology has been published in top peer-reviewed journals.

Published Research

Lampsy's seizure detection algorithm has been featured in:

• Epilepsia (the official journal of the International League Against Epilepsy)

• IEEE Access (a leading open-access engineering journal)

This research details not just that Lampsy works, but how it works and why it's more effective.

Hospital Partnerships

Lampsy has established partnerships with every hospital in Lisbon that conducts epilepsy monitoring, including Hospital de Santa Maria and Hospital Egas Moniz. These partnerships enable ongoing clinical validation and ensure that Lampsy continues to meet the real-world needs of patients and healthcare providers.

What the Research Shows

Multiple studies consistently demonstrate that 90-95% of patients and caregivers express interest in seizure detection devices. However, only about 12% have actually adopted one. Why such a huge gap?

The main barriers have been:

• False alarm rates that erode trust

• Visible devices that increase stigma

• Discomfort and usability issues with wearables

• Concerns about reliability and accuracy

• Cost and insurance coverage

Lampsy was specifically designed to address each of these barriers. Our mission is to close that gap. To create a device that families actually want to use, not just say they would use.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Lampsy work during the day or only at night? While Lampsy was designed for nighttime monitoring, it can monitor 24/7 if desired. The device uses infrared lighting to work effectively in complete darkness.

What types of seizures does Lampsy detect? Currently, Lampsy is validated for detecting movement indicative of generalized tonic-clonic seizures and focal-to-bilateral tonic-clonic seizures.

How is Lampsy different from just using a regular baby monitor? Regular camera monitors can't distinguish between normal movement and seizures. Lampsy's technology specifically recognizes movement patterns that may be associated with seizures and sends automatic alerts only when these movements are sensed, eliminating the need for constant visual monitoring.

What about privacy? Is my video being recorded all the time? Lampsy preserves privacy by design using Optical Flow technology. Video is only recorded and saved when you choose to capture those moments. The AI processes motion data locally on the device.
