# data[].attributes.body
The Embrace device is an example of innovative health technology that strives to improve the way health care is delivered.  This innovative technology potentiates the promise of positive transformation impacting the care of patients suffering from seizures. The improvements in care will have a major and direct impact on the quality of care received by seizure patients from health care professionals, nurses and their loved ones in a at home setting.  The device works effectively by utilizing electrodes against the skin, a thermometer to  record temperature changes, and accelerometers to detect motion. These biometerics when detected are instantly sent to a smart phone of choice, alerting caregivers of current, real time seizure activilty.

The purpose of the Embrace Seizure monitoring watch has direct implications on tele-care, nursing assessments, and biometric data that reflects medication therapeutic effectiveness.  The impact that the device will have on nursing and health informatics will be huge and allow for positive progression in seizure management. This innovative technology will allow integrated and evidence based practice to be implemented. The evidence based practice will allow new methods and models of care to be integrated into the care and management of seizure patients. The biometeric data collected through the use of this device allows for close, continuous patient monitoring, measurement of a medications therapeutic effectiveness, which will ultimately positively impact the life of both the patient and the family.
