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.

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).

Add a heading (600 x 600 px) (9).png__PID:ea203832-de6a-42a0-8073-cbd58ff0ac28

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.

SAMi is capable of detecting a wide range of movement and is sensitive enough to pick up very slight movements even under the covers. If the human eye can see it, so can SAMi!

"SAMi 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.

"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.

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
Untitled design - 2023-11-02T175413.202.png__PID:70e3e387-6f43-46bd-a014-476476a5e27b

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

Quickly identify rythmic and non-rythmic movements during sleep

SAMi The Sleep Activity Monitor™ is a no-wearable monitoring system for parents, caregivers, and self-monitoring individuals that wish to be alerted and automatically record a wide range of abnormal movements at night. 

Designed by caregivers to a child with epilepsy, SAMi The Sleep Activity Monitor™ is the only no-wearable monitoring system designed to detect a broad range of abnormal and seizure-like movements during sleep, while arming you with the video evidence you need to truly understand what happens when you're not watching.

Much like a baby monitor, SAMi streams live video + audio to a portable smart tablet.

The difference is SAMi continuously analyzes that video, and can alert you when it sees anything that doesn't look like normal sleep.
