Lumia Health Unveils Revolutionary Wearable at CES 2025

At this year's Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2025, Lumia Health™ is set to debut the world's first wearable device specifically designed to track blood flow to the head. This groundbreaking technology aims to assist individuals suffering from chronic conditions that cause symptoms like dizziness, brain fog, fatigue, and fainting, especially those that worsen when standing up. The event will take place between January 7 and January 10 at Eureka Park, Venetian Expo.

With a successful launch out of stealth mode in 2023, the company has made significant strides, including completing a successful 30-day crowdfunding campaign that raised $560,000, selling out pre-order inventory, and securing contracts worth over $3.6 million with various government agencies.

Clinically Proven Technology

The Lumia wearable has undergone rigorous clinical testing at some of the top medical institutions, including Johns Hopkins and Duke University. It boasts a strong correlation with the gold-standard Transcranial Doppler ultrasound, achieving a remarkable Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.91 in measuring Carotid Flow Time, directly reflecting blood flow to the head. This discovery was communicated to experts at the 2024 American Autonomic Society Conference and highlighted a novel index, the Lumia Flow Index™, that shows a superior correlation with orthostatic symptoms compared to traditional heart metrics.

One notable aspect of the wearable's development is its impressive user engagement metrics among hundreds of beta testers, who report utilizing the device for over 12 hours a day and spending significant time interacting with the accompanying mobile app. This level of engagement underlines the product's potential as a practical self-management tool for users who want to understand how various lifestyle factors, such as hydration and posture, influence their health.

A Comfortable and Innovative Design

The Lumia wearable is incredibly lightweight, weighing less than 1 gram and designed to be non-intrusive, making it over five times smaller than popular devices like Apple AirPods. By monitoring blood flow through a shallow artery in the ear, it effectively tracks vital cardiac information without the interference seen in wrist-based wearables, which can suffer from data corruption due to arm movements. This ensures that users can smoothly integrate the device into their daily activities without feeling hindered.

Daniel Lee, Cofounder and CEO of Lumia Health™, stated, "Blood flow to the head is a critical missing vital sign for millions affected by chronic illnesses that invoke symptoms like dizziness and lightheadedness, which can be aggravated by standing. Through years of research and development, we have harnessed the potential of auricular monitoring in a user-friendly format, delivering crucial insights into these often-overlooked conditions."

While the immediate focus is on addressing chronic conditions related to brain blood flow, the company also sees prospects for broader applications. Preliminary research indicates that sustained blood flow monitoring could transform management practices across various healthcare settings, from preventing falls in elderly populations to assisting in fluid management for conditions like sepsis and heart failure.

Upcoming Launch and Availability

With an enthusiastic reception, the Lumia wearable has raised an impressive $10.4 million in funding, complemented by governmental grants and contracts for research purposes. The device is slated for a public re-launch on February 4, 2025, at 10 AM ET, after selling out due to overwhelming demand. Consumers are encouraged to sign up for email notifications on the company's website to stay updated and secure advance reservations for wearable units, which will begin shipping in March.

Join the Lumia team at booth 62047 in Eureka Park for real-time demonstrations of their revolutionary blood flow tracking technology, aimed at providing insights into the sensations of dizziness and other related symptoms experienced by chronic illness patients.
