Rest Mode is the default setting for our FDA-cleared Embrace algorithm that monitors for patterns that may be associated with convulsive seizures during rest periods, which include activities such as sleeping, reading a book, or watching TV.
This algorithm is sensitive to repetitive movements, so there’s a possibility of false alarms when performing activities involving repetitive movements.
Non-US users, depending on their subscription plan, may be able to choose between Rest Mode and Non-Rest Mode. Non-Rest Mode is a less sensitive version of the algorithm, which may help to reduce false alarms in active situations, such as exercise.
