An eight channel EEG headset designed not for meditation or research, but for the specific challenge of measuring and sustaining deep focus during knowledge work. The concept of “flow state,” the experience of complete immersion in a task where time distorts and performance peaks, was formalized by psychologist Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi in the 1990s. But the…
A single channel EEG headset that costs less than a fitness tracker, offering the lowest barrier to entry for anyone curious about brainwave monitoring, neurofeedback, and brain computer interface development. The history of transformative technology follows a predictable pattern: expensive, specialized instruments become affordable enough that curious people outside the original expert community can experiment…
The most channel dense consumer EEG headset available, offering 14 sensors that approach the spatial resolution of clinical brain monitoring systems at a fraction of the cost and complexity. When researchers at universities around the world began studying how the brain processes attention, emotion, and decision making outside the constraints of a clinical laboratory, they…
A wireless five channel EEG headset that bridges the gap between consumer neurofeedback and research grade brain monitoring, with a developer API that has made it one of the most widely used platforms in brain computer interface development. In 2017, a network meta analysis published in PLoS ONE by Catala-Lopez et al. examined 190 randomized…
A consumer EEG headband that translates your brainwave activity into real time audio feedback, turning meditation from a subjective practice into a measurable skill. Most people who try meditation quit within the first two weeks. The reason is not lack of willpower or interest. It is the absence of feedback. Unlike running, where pace and…
The first FDA cleared consumer pulse oximetry monitor designed specifically for infants, offering continuous SpO2 and heart rate tracking from a soft fabric sock worn during sleep. Every year in the United States, approximately 3,400 infants die suddenly and unexpectedly during sleep. The causes include sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), accidental suffocation, and strangulation in…
An FDA cleared device that trains both sides of the breath, offering combined inspiratory and expiratory resistance for pulmonary rehabilitation, athletic performance, and daily respiratory health. In the intensive care units of hospitals around the world, one of the earliest milestones for patients recovering from mechanical ventilation is the ability to generate enough inspiratory force…
The muscles you use to breathe can be trained like any other muscle in your body. The evidence suggests doing so may lower blood pressure, improve exercise endurance, and reshape cardiovascular risk. Every minute of every day, your diaphragm and intercostal muscles contract roughly 15 to 20 times, pulling air into your lungs against the…
The Airofit PRO combines adjustable respiratory resistance with real time Bluetooth biofeedback to strengthen the muscles that power every breath you take. The diaphragm is the most important muscle most people never train. It contracts approximately 20,000 times per day, powering every breath from the first cry of life to the last exhalation. Yet unlike…
Pocket sized, Bluetooth connected, and FDA cleared, the MIR Smart One puts clinical spirometry in a form factor smaller than a smartphone. The history of spirometry spans over 150 years, from the cumbersome water displacement spirometers of the 19th century to the desktop turbine devices that occupy every pulmonologist’s office today. At each stage, miniaturization…
