In September 2017, Amine co-founded the Startup Epilert, to contribute to the economic transition of his country. Epilert is a wearable medical device that detects, monitors and predicts the Generalized Tonic-Clonic epilepsy seizure through artificial intelligence.
Epilert is offering a product which is the bracelet, complemented with two services. The first service that Epilert is providing is the intangible smartphone alert application that sends text alerts to the user’s caregiver(s) when a seizure is detected by the device. This is an important feature of the bracelet as it helps the users to satisfy their main need for alleviating fear. The application works on iOS and Android systems. The second service is the intangible monitoring platform Epidoc for doctors. This platform will allow them to diagnose the seizures cause and better monitor their patients and prescribe them the most-effective medical treatment for their case. Moreover, for the alert application to perform successfully, the bracelet always has to be connected to the smartphone via Bluetooth. This will allow the application to send out alerts in the form of texts to designated parties. With respect to the Epidoc platform, the bracelet stores the user’s health data onto a cloud using IOT sim card technology. For data to be stored into the cloud, the bracelet must be granted Internet access. The company provides software and hardware technical support to its customers through customer service in case of any issues related to the bracelet, application or platform.
