How does AspireSR work?

Eighty-two percent (82%) of patients with epilepsy experience rapid heart rate increase associated with a seizure.2
How AspireSR works:
Detects rapid heart rate rise
Delivers automatic stimulation
Has customizable parameters to meet patients' needs
Works in conjuction with Normal and Magnet Mode

In AspireSR clinical trials, over 60% of seizures treated (n=46) ended during auto stimulation.3 For seizures that ended during stimulation (n=28), the closer stimulation was to seizure onset, the shorter the seizure duration.3
