Problem
Individuals with conditions like POTS, syncope, Long Covid, and ME/CFS often experience symptoms such as dizziness, lightheadedness, and fatigue due to drops in blood flow to the head, which are difficult to track outside of specialized labs. Current methods for monitoring these conditions are often infrequent, costly, and inaccessible for many patients. This lack of continuous monitoring hinders effective self-management and personalized treatment plans.
Solution
Lumia Health offers an in-ear wearable device that uses light technology to monitor blood flow to the head, providing users with insights into their symptoms and overall well-being. The device tracks changes in blood flow associated with different body postures, treatments, and lifestyle modifications. Paired with a companion iPhone application, Lumia enables users to track and self-manage symptoms like dizziness, fatigue, and headaches. By tracking blood flow to the head, Lumia provides data that goes beyond traditional heart rate monitoring, offering a more comprehensive understanding of these complex conditions.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes adults diagnosed with POTS, syncope, OH, other forms of Dysautonomia, ME/CFS, and Long Covid, who are seeking to better self-manage their symptoms through continuous monitoring of blood flow to the head.
