Ever try sleeping with a baby monitor
glued to your ear?

If you've made it this far, i'm guessing you're pretty tired...
you can't sleep next to them forever. Co-sleeping isn't sustainble... and the live audio of a home security or baby monitor is keeping you up.
going to let you listening to live video all night isn't exactly ideal

Over 10 years ago, we tried everything to try to get some sleep without compromising our sons safety, He was experiencingcombined what worked modified our baby monitor to incorporate
took what we liked from
If something happens you need to be ready to react.
When we learned our son was having seizures during sleep, we didn't sleep for what felt like months.
Whether I was with him, or in my room with the baby monitor glued to my head,
everything most parents do... but baby monitors, mattress monitors, were going to neeunderstand fully what how much it was going to impact our sleep.
appreciate just how much it had no idea what that was going to do knew we needed a my husband and I didn't appreciate
We had no idea what
hen we first learned our Son's seizures weren't just happening during the day,
just having seizuers during the day, epilepsy wasn't was having seizures in his sleep, we had no idea how

We built SAMi because we needed a way to get some sleep without compromising his safetey. .

Detect, Alert, Record
We designed the SAMi-3 to go beyond the large rhythmic and repetitive movements most monitors require to trigger an alert.
- Shaking or Jerking
- Muscle Stiffening
- Twitching or Trembling
- Spasms or Convulsions
- Face grimacing
- Eye fluttering
- Wagging of extremities
- Pedaling
- Kicking
- Rocking
- Pelvic thrusting
- Sleep walking
- Restless legs
Configure SAMi to alert you to movement as brief and sutble as a single blink of eye, as pronounced, consistent, and rhythmic as a minutes worth of jumping jacks, or anywhere in between.
We understand that everyone's situation is unique, which is why we put you in full control of the circumstances that trigger our alarm.
How it works
When abnormal movement is detected by the SAMi-3 Camera, an alarm is triggered on the iPad, and a live view is shown so you can take action if necessary
SAMi Kit comes ready-to-use, no configuration required
Connect to SAMi via the SAMi Router, your home Wi-Fi, or anywhere you have internet or cell service
Up to 4 people can monitor SAMi at once

Jon Shaw Foundation Grant Recipient
When our daughter was 8 months old our whole lives were turned upside down by epilepsy. Not only were we negotiating life as first time parents but now we also had this highly dangerous condition to contend with. Fast forward almost 2 years and we have finally now got some reassurance at night with our new Sami3 monitor. We were supported with the purchase of our monitor by Jon Shaw Charity who were absolutely fantastic. They sorted out the purchasing and shipping from America and their communication was absolutely amazing. The application process was easy and supportive. We could not be happier with Jon Shaw Charity and will be fundraising for them in the near future so they can support more families just like ours'. Thank you so much for everything you've done.It was our pleasure. X

Colton’s seizures have been happening only in his sleep. When they happen during daytime naps, they are fairly easy to track. However, when they began picking up overnight (1-2 seizures an hour 😞) they became increasingly difficult to track as (fortunately) his vitals don’t change and he is often able to quickly return to sleep afterwards without alerting us to the seizure. We had two cameras on him that record motion. Unfortunately, one (Wyze Cam) did not record every seizure and the other (VTech baby monitor) recorded absolutely every movement he made and every sound in his room (including cars that may have driven by) making so many recordings that it would crash the system and we couldn’t even review them.
Not having a reliable camera made it really hard to know exactly what was going on overnight and if med adjustments we are making are helping or not. After a lot of research, I found SAMi The Sleep Activity Monitor which is supposed to weed out non-seizure activity and focus on recording only seizures. We can also send videos directly to our teams to review. In addition to about a hundred other positives, it can be used when we travel to Boston or elsewhere and can be linked to numerous iPhones/iPads.
"Our daughter is thriving again"
Danny Did Foundation Grant Recipient
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.
"...by far the best seizure monitoring device we have used"
Laura Palmer
Mother and President of the SHINE Syndrome Foundation
The E in SHINE stands for epilepsy...we tried several different monitoring devices... none of them worked as advertised. Either alarms were going off when he wasn’t seizing or these devices were missing seizures. The SAMi is by far the best seizure monitoring device we have used as a family. Not only do we feel confident that we are alerted to every seizure, but we also have excellent-quality videos to send to our son’s neurologist. The video recordings from SAMi have been used to diagnose new seizure types and make treatment changes without having to do an inpatient EEG. aMost importantly, we are confident that the SAMi system has saved our son’s life multiple times. We are thankful for this consistent, reliable alerting system that allows us to sleep peacefully knowing our son is safe.Thank you, SAMi, for an excellent product that gives epilepsy parents peace of mind.
The Danny Did Foundation
We’ve been working closely with SAMi for nearly 10 years now. During that time, our device grant program has helped over 750 epilepsy patients and caregivers to secure SAMi Kits.
We believe intervention during a seizure event may reduce the risk of SUDEP, reduce injuries, and allows caregivers to provide seizure first aid.

" The SAMi The Sleep Activity Monitor has been an excellent option for many families… Imagine being able to show your neurologist or epileptologist exactly what is happening at night.
I've known the Andersons (inventors of SAMi) for over 10 years now and together we've helped hundreds of parents sleep a little safer with effective night-time monitoring
Julie Hutchison, Founder and CEO
Jon Shaw Foundation
We are really excited about working with the Anderson family to produce and place the SAMi Kit in the hands of young people living with epilepsy in the UK.
SAMi continues to bring peace of mind to these families, who know SAMi will alert them if needed at night.

"...Video from a nocturnal monitor would be very helpful in a typical clinic visit"
Dr. Edward Maa
Director of Epilepsy Monitoring Unit, Swedish Medical Center
Executive Board Member, Epilepsy Foundation of CO
...Much like we have baby monitors for when our children are very small this is a useful device for patients who are suffering from epilepsy and the family members that live with them. Video from a nocturnal monitor would be very helpful in a typical clinic visit especially when the diagnosis is uncertain or the medication management needs assistance.
