Seizure Success® and You!
Seizure Alerts - Collect seizure dog and device alerts then compare them to seizure activity.
You can collect/record seizure alerts from your service dog or favorite seizure monitoring device. Leverage the Seizure Tracker visualizations to compare the alerts to your seizure activity.
Why should I record the alerts from my seizure dog or detection device?
Seizure alerts (whether True or False) can help better understand seizures with visual characteristics (clinical) vs. seizures with non-visual characteristics (subclinical). Dogs and devices can pick up seizure activity that may otherwise may go undetected.
Recording device events can help...
- Better understand potential subclinical seizure activity.
- Visualize relationships between alerts and actionable seizures.
- Provide signals of an actionable seizure about to happen (if applicable).
- Collect more accurate data on seizure events.
The Seizure Tracker alert collection tool data points include:
- Alert date and time
- Alert source (entered manually or through data share partner interactions)
- Type (Impending, Happening, Happened, Unknown)
- Label (True, False, Unknown)
- Entry notes
Note: Manual entries currently include "Seizure Dog - Alert" and "Seizure Dog - Response". All device entries are submitted automatically and provided through our data share partnerships with those device companies. Please let us know if you do not see the alerting device in your data share portal.

Alert visualizations...
- Compare time of day across the charts.
- The Seizure Tracker Alert handling tool uses color coding throughout the user interface to identify specific times of day.
- Circular charting benefits.
- The alerting polar charts present data in an hourly, clock-like format. This visual links days together for easier pattern recognition.
- Show relationships of recorded seizures and alerts.
- Visualizing alerts and seizures together can help identify the relationship between the two and better inform the development of your seizure action plan.
