What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Overall Usability of the Empatica Embrace Seizure Detection Watch System (Embrace) in Outpatients With Dravet Syndrome

    The assessment of user experience with Embrace watch system included Likert Ease of Use Questionnaire. The questionnaire had 3 items related to use of the Embrace watch, Mate App and Alert App. All the questions were responded on 5-point Likert scale (1-Very difficult, 2-difficult, 3-Neutral, 4-Easy and 5-Very easy). Response to each item on the questionnaire was reported. Responses across all items on the questionnaire were summed to create an overall index with total score of 0 to 15, where higher scores represents the better usability of the device.

    Measured: Approximately 12 weeks
