EpiCentr app is designed for individuals with seizure disorders and their caregivers. It’s intended to enhance safety and support during seizure episodes by alerting emergency contacts. It also includes a comprehensive journal to track seizures and detailed statistics reports for doctors. The app actively monitors seizure-like triggers, promptly alerting your designated emergency contacts if a seizure is suspected. Specifically, our watch app utilizes Apple HealthKit to track user’s heart rate, while leveraging the gyroscope and accelerometer on Apple Watch to monitor the user's arm motion. If a seizure-like pattern is detected, an alert is promptly sent. For immediate assistance or in case if Apple Watch is not available, manual alerts can be initiated directly from your iPhone. Additionally, the app allows you to maintain a detailed journal, effortlessly tracking triggers and recording side-effects, auras, and personal notes. Keeping all data at one place, the app provides reports with important descriptive statistics giving valuable insights to you and your healthcare provider. KEY FEATURES AND HOW TO USE THE APP: - Seizure Detection: By utilizing your Apple Watch, the app monitors various seizure-like triggers, such as motion patterns associated with tonic-clonic seizures, different types of falls, and abnormal heart rate. If any of these triggers are detected, the app initiates a delayed alert, which will be automatically sent to your emergency contacts if not manually canceled within 30 seconds. Set up automatic seizure monitoring by following the instructions provided in the app. - Manual Alerts: Activate alerts instantly from your iPhone or Apple Watch. Choose between two alert types: Help Now, which sends an immediate notification, and Delayed Help, where a 30-second countdown is initiated before sending the alert if not canceled. - GPS Location Sharing: When a help request is sent, the app automatically includes your GPS coordinates (if available) in the notifications sent to your emergency contacts. This crucial information enables them to locate you swiftly, ensuring timely and accurate assistance. Please grant location sharing permission to the app for this feature to function. - Journal: Keep track of vital information about your seizures using the app's comprehensive journal. Effortlessly monitor triggers, record side-effects, track auras, and add personal notes. Seizure records are automatically captured, and you have the option to edit or add necessary details. Over time, the app consolidates all this essential data in one convenient location, providing you and your healthcare provider with detailed reports featuring important descriptive statistics. - Roles: The app operates in two modes: one for individuals with seizure disorders and another for their caregivers. Download the EpiCentr app now to experience a new level of confidence and security in managing seizures and seeking help when it matters most.

MenuWise is a restaurant menu scanner, calorie estimator, and macro tracker built for real & informed dining decisions. Scan a menu, compare meals, and understand the likely calories, protein, carbs, fat, and nutrition trade-offs before you order. Whether you're eating out, tracking calories, pushing protein, cutting body fat, managing diet preferences, or just trying to make smarter choices, MenuWise helps you decide faster. Use MenuWise to: • Scan a dish, menu section, or full restaurant menu from your iPhone • Estimate calories, protein, carbs, fat, and key nutrition in seconds • Compare two meals side by side before you order • Spot likely diet conflicts, allergen risks, and ingredient red flags earlier • Track meals over time and review weekly eating patterns • Find lighter, higher-protein, or better-fit options without digging through restaurant websites Built for eating out, not perfect lab conditions. Restaurant menus rarely give you the full picture. A dish name might hide sauces, oils, sides, toppings, cooking methods, or portion sizes that change the real calorie and macro profile. MenuWise reads the menu text, understands the dish structure, and gives you a practical estimate so you can make a better call before the plate hits the table. Compare meals before you commit: • Burger vs grilled chicken bowl • Pasta vs steak and sides • Curry vs stir fry • Pizza vs salad • Breakfast wrap vs eggs and toast • Dessert vs a lighter swap MenuWise helps show the tradeoffs clearly, so you can choose based on your goal instead of guessing. Great for: • Calorie tracking • Macro tracking • High-protein eating • Fat loss • Smarter restaurant ordering • Meal planning while eating out • Avoiding surprise high-calorie meals • Checking likely ingredients before you order • Building better weekly nutrition habits No more opening five restaurant nutrition pages at the table. No more guessing which meal is “probably healthier.” No more ordering blind when you’re trying to stay on track. MenuWise gives you fast, useful nutrition context from the menu in front of you. MenuWise provides estimates based on menu text, dish structure, known food patterns, and common preparation methods. Nutrition values can vary by restaurant, portion size, ingredients, substitutions, and cooking style. Always confirm ingredients, allergens, dietary requirements, and preparation details directly with the venue when it matters.
