How check-ins work
What does SeizAlarm do?
SeizAlarm offers personal check-ins and help requests to people you trust using your iPhone or Apple Watch. Your selected motion and heart rate settings can trigger a check-in. If you do not cancel during the response period, the app attempts to notify your trusted contacts. Everyday activities can trigger a check, and some events may not trigger a check-in. Check-ins and contact notifications may be delayed or may not occur. Do not rely on this app for any medical purpose.
How long should I expect my Apple Watch battery to last?
Battery life depends on your watch, battery condition, settings, and use. Monitoring uses the watch sensors and can increase battery use. Charge your watch regularly and check its battery before use. Monitoring cannot continue when the battery is depleted.
How will trusted contacts be notified and what will they receive?
Your trusted contacts can receive help requests by the notification methods you enable for them, such as phone calls, text messages, or email. A help request includes your available location. Let contacts know what to expect and how you would like them to respond. Delivery depends on connectivity, permissions, and enabled contact methods and may be delayed or may not occur.
Does SeizAlarm offer international support?
Enter phone numbers with a country code, including the + prefix. Available notification methods can vary by country and carrier. Check your contact details and enabled methods in the app, and contact support if a number cannot receive a test request. Message rates may apply.
How close do the Watch and the iPhone need to be for Watch monitor to work?
Your paired watch and iPhone need a working connection for the features you select. Connection range varies with the environment and network. Compatible cellular watches may use their own network connection. Keep the SeizAlarm iPhone app open and logged in when setting up your paired watch.
Do I need the LTE Apple Watch model for SeizAlarm to work?
A cellular Apple Watch is not required for a paired-watch setup. Using the watch away from the paired iPhone depends on available Wi-Fi or cellular connectivity and your setup. Contact notifications need a network connection.
Does SeizAlarm work with Apple's "Family Setup" feature?
For a supported Family Setup watch, open Family Setup Watches in SeizAlarm Settings. Generate a link code and enter it in the watch app to link the watch to your account. Check connectivity and your trusted contacts before use.
What should I consider when setting up check-ins for someone else?
SeizAlarm settings can be customized for the person wearing the watch. Everyday activities, including play, can trigger check-ins. The watch must be worn and configured for the selected features to work. The app does not determine whether a medical event has occurred and must not be relied on for any medical purpose.
What if a help request is accidentally sent or needs to be cancelled?
Cancel a check-in during its countdown if you do not want a help request sent. If a request has already been sent, ending it lets the service attempt to notify your contacts that the request has ended. Delivery of that update may be delayed or may not occur.
Can I exercise while I have monitoring enabled?
Everyday activities and exercise can trigger motion-based or heart rate check-ins. Adjust the available settings to your preferences or stop monitoring when you do not want check-ins. No setting guarantees an alert will occur.
Does SeizAlarm support multiple trusted contacts?
You can add and manage multiple trusted contacts in Contacts. Give each contact the details they need to understand your help requests, and enable the notification methods you want to use. At least one usable contact method is needed to send a help request.
How quickly will trusted contacts be notified?
Notification timing depends on the response period you select, network availability, carriers, and your contacts’ devices. Check-ins and contact notifications may be delayed or may not occur.
Do I have to have an Apple Watch for SeizAlarm to work?
You can request help and use available motion-based check-ins on your iPhone without an Apple Watch. For motion-based check-ins, keep the iPhone firmly attached to you, for example using an exercise band. Apple Watch adds wrist-based controls and available heart rate features.
