Clinically Shown to have Strong Correlation with Gold Standard Ultrasound and Symptoms
Clinically tested at top institutions like Johns Hopkins, Duke, and Harvard Medical School, LumiaTM
technology has been refined by the world's top experts in blood flow monitoring . Published at the 2024 American Autonomic Society Conference, the LumiaTM
technology has been clinically shown to correlate strongly with the gold standard, Transcranial Doppler ultrasound, with a Pearson correlation of 0.91 for Carotid Flow Time, a measure of blood flow to the head. At the 2024 Dysautonomia International Conference, Lumia Flow IndexTM
was found to correlate better with orthostatic symptoms than traditional heart rate metrics, earning the Patient's Choice Award.
Usefulness Demonstrated by Strong User Engagement Metrics
Hundreds of LumiaTM
Beta testers are already finding immense value in the unprecedented blood flow data, demonstrating exceptional engagement with over 12 hours of daily wear time and over 40 minutes of daily mobile app use, proving its utility as a self-help tool. The biofeedback helps LumiaTM
members see how lifestyle factors such as posture, hydration, compression garments, and other daily activities affect blood flow to their head, improving self-awareness and encouraging lifestyle adjustments to avoid exacerbating symptoms.
Unlocking the Next Evolutionary Step in Wearables with All-Day Blood Flow Tracking
The LumiaTM
wearable weighs less than 1 gram and is more than 5 times smaller than Apple Airpods. It tracks blood flow by tapping into a shallow artery in the ear, a branch of the External Carotid Artery, which runs parallel to the brain's primary blood supply. This strong arterial signal is crucial to enabling the wearable's unprecedented cardiac data. Unlike wrist wearables which suffer from data corruption due to arm movement, the LumiaTM
wearable allows users to track blood flow through various activities of daily living. Most users comment that the wearable is so comfortable and unobtrusive that they completely forget they are wearing it.
"Blood flow to the head is the critical missing vital sign for millions suffering from chronic illnesses affected by dizziness, lightheadedness, brain fog, fatigue, and fainting made worse by standing," said Lumia HealthTM
Cofounder and CEO, Daniel Lee. "After almost 5 years, we've finally unlocked the potential of the ear to track it in a user-friendly wearable, offering unparalleled insights into these often misunderstood illnesses. While we are focused on chronic brain blood flow illnesses to start, our preliminary research shows that multi-day blood flow monitoring also has the potential to revolutionize many of healthcare's costliest conditions, from fainting and falling in older adults, to improving in-patient fluid management for sepsis and heart failure**. At CES 2025, we are excited to find partners to help us expand the impact that this groundbreaking technology can have."
From Stealth to CES
Since its launch, Lumia Health has raised $10.4 million in funding, with additional venture financing and government research contracts. The wearable has undergone a variety of clinical pilot tests at top medical institutions, and has been published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology and the American Autonomic Society.
Join us at booth 62047 in Eureka Park at the Venetian Expo to experience the future of wearables. The team will be offering real-time demos of its blood flow tracking technology. Learn how to rapidly drop the blood flow to your head to experience what dizziness feels like for those with chronic brain blood flow illnesses such as POTS, Dysautonomia, Orthostatic Hypotension, Long COVID, ME/CFS, and Orthostatic Intolerance!
How to Order
Due to high demand, LumiaTM
