Redefine the way pain is treated
In 1992, Richard Hanbury was pronounced clinically dead for 8 minutes and then in a coma for 6 weeks. After waking up, he spent the next 14 months in the hospital.
The doctors gave him 5 years to live due to the extreme chronic nerve damage pain. After a lightbulb moment while watching a film in hospital, he began the journey to save his life. To produce the most lasting pain relief, he experimented with the different neuromodulation patterns and bio-metric sensors which normalised his nerve pathways. Since 1993, Richard Hanbury has been pain-free.
We believe that our non invasive bio-therapeutic device has the potential to change the clinical management of chronic pain and insomnia, replacing opioids. Our team is focusing on the hardest cases of chronic pain and PTSD induced insomnia, in order to help those in the greatest need first. Clinical trials are scheduled for early 2019. The device will be available to the general public in 2019, following FDA certification.
