The Epilepsy Foundation Award Winning Monitor

SAMi The Sleep Activity Monitor™ is a no-wearable device for parents, caregivers, and self monitoring individuals looking to detect abnormal movements or behaviors during sleep. 

"SAMi is a game changer for parents monitoring for seizures during sleep... they've been in a category of their own since We (epilepsy Foundation) funded their prototype back in 2012. 

Phil Gattone
Epilepsy Foundation CEO (2012-2019)

1. Position the SAMi Camera

Place SAMi 4-12 feet away from the person being monitored. This can be from the side, the front, or from above. If you can see their movements, so can SAMi (even under blankets).

2. Set up custom motion alerts

Instantly alert family members or caregivers so they can react in the moment. Our default settings are appropriate for most, but easily increase sensitivity or reduce the time-to-alarm for added safety.

3. Choose a Recording Mode

Record never, continuously, or only when motion is present. Easily save and share important recordings with your doctor.

4. Check in anytime

Leave live video/audio running like a baby monitor or supress it for a less distracting sleep environment.

The worlds most Capable motion-based alarm & recording system

Designed and built by parents who understand what it's like to sleep with one eye (or ear) open.

Tired of sleeping with one ear open?

Unlike traditional baby monitors, SAMi provides the option to suppress live video and audio until an alarm is triggered providing a much more peaceful sleep environment for parents & caregivers

"a literal miracle. We take it everywhere"

...for us, most of his seizures are at night time when we all are asleep, and missing a seizure can be fatal... My husband and I have been able to actually get a full nights rest without worrying we will miss one.

Blake in Colorado, March 2023

"So much We wouldn't have known"

"My son has had two seizures in the last 24 hours. Without this camera we wouldn't have known they were going on. I've been amazed over and over."

Kirsty in UK, May 2022

"I actually cried, you have no idea"

"I would have given anything to have this monitor 2-4 years ago. I can finally sleep and couldn't live without this camera and app. I literally cried after that first night when I realized I could actually trust this thing.

Sarah in Idaho, March 2023

"So much easier than trying to film with my phone"

The recordings have helped our son get proper medical attention whilst also allowing us to concentrate on him during a seizure rather than trying to film it. 

Caleb in Texas, June 2023

"recordings have saved me countless hours"

Before SAMi I was scanning through baby camera footage on 4x. If I went any faster and i'd miss something... any slower and i'd be there all day. The organized recordings of just the motion are truly a game changer.  

Eric in Florida, July 2023

"Our daughter is thriving"

Our daughter is thriving again. We showed our neurologist video from the SAMI device and that helped us to create a new plan for her medication. We are so thankful for the peace of mind that this resource has given us. I never thought I was going to get that.

John in Oregon, May 2022

"The SAMi Monitor is Amazing"

I just wanted to tell you that the SAMi monitor is amazing and has caught every seizure my daughter has had since we got it. And because she has so many different kinds, being able to show the doctors the recordings is amazing.

Mbong Family in Detroit, August 2022

Comparing SAMi: Other ways to Monitor

Note - we recommend the "Swiss Cheese approach" to monitoring: No monitoring method is perfect, so consider using multiple monitoring methods.

14.png__PID:f34cdea2-8b94-408a-9f05-3b8a633ef62b

Co-sleeping

Co-sleeping is the gold standard for monitoring a child but it can be very hard on both parents and child. Most parents are very sensitive to their child’s movements, which means that sounds and even normal tossing and turning results in multiple awakenings. SAMi can provide you the reassurance you need to eventually move away from co-sleeping, without compromising safety. 

15.png__PID:4cdea28b-9450-4adf-853b-8a633ef62b18

Baby Monitors and Security Cameras

Similar to co-sleeping, hypervigilant parents typically are awakened multiple times in the night by benign noises. SAMi provides the option to filter out the usual motion and noise that would be reported when using general-use products like Baby Monitors and Security Cameras. Fine-tuning SAMi's alarm sensitivity will greatly reduce false alerts. Fewer false alarms equal better sleep!

  • We recommend testing any alerts out before relying
  • Parents often awakened throughout the night to benign noises

Wearables and Mattress Monitors

Movement monitors that detect physical shaking generally only detect and alert in the case of rhythmic motion. They also do not provide a live video and audio display for quick confirmation or make recordings for later review. With SAMi, there's nothing to wear either, so no need to worry about something slipping off their wrist or running out of battery.

  • Generally only designed to detect convulsive movements
  • Movements in face, feet or other areas may not trigger alarm
  • Does not provide a live view for quick confirmation
