Case Study: Empatica helps people with epilepsy live better with Embrace by Pearl Studios

Empatica launches the first FDA-cleared smartwatch with Pearl Studios

Pearl Studios was approached by Empatica to help transform a research product for detecting epileptic seizures into a mass-produced wearable device. The challenge was to overcome user compliance issues and the stigma associated with medical devices, creating a product that people would actually want to wear.

The solution implemented by Pearl Studios was the Embrace smartwatch, a sleek and stylish device designed to look like a consumer product rather than a medical tool. Through strategic design and engineering, they created a slim, universally fitting watch that became the first FDA-cleared smartwatch. This innovation by Pearl Studios helped children and adults with epilepsy live better lives by ensuring they would comfortably wear the life-saving technology.
