00:00We use a selfie camera to measure your meditative states. We are able to measure

00:08key biomarkers with computer visions from your selfie camera. Sounds crazy but it

00:12helps doing a therapy called biofeedback and make that accessible instead of

00:18using those like clunky EEG headsets that you wear on your head. So we use

00:22that in order to reverse chronic conditions and prove symptoms like brain

00:26fog or inflammation. Why did you decide that this is something you wanted to

00:29build? Yeah well I was diagnosed with a chronic illness myself and on my journey

00:34to figure out how to treat I've seen a lot of doctors and a lot of specialists

00:38and no one could really help me out. My nervous system was dysregulated and

00:42medications are actually not effective for this so I tried biofeedback therapy

00:47myself and it was just not accessible. It was really expensive although super

00:52effective it was the first therapy that actually helped improve my symptoms so I

00:55was like how can we build a technology that can actually democratize itself

00:59and encapsulate all the benefits of biofeedback into a smartphone so that

01:03anyone can do it from anywhere. All right we have the headphones on we are

01:07ready to go and see how MioHealth works. Tell us what are we gonna do next?

01:10All right so here you have a grey ball. Your goal is to turn it blue by achieving a

01:15deep meditation state. It's going to be induced with a breathwork so you have to

01:19sync your breathwork cadence with the ball. And so as it turns blue it tells you that

01:25you're actually getting into a deep flow state. When it becomes white it's just

01:30like a gentle nudge to let you know to get back in focus. You'll have some a

01:34soundtrack and some guidance so that you can really get into focus and calm your

01:39nervous system. Here we can see that your stress levels were pretty low which is

01:43amazing because that's what we want. Your flow score was 26 which is a good sign

01:47that you're starting to shift your nervous system out of fight or flight to a state

01:52that's called homeostasis which is basically the the balance of their

01:55nervous system. And then we can look at your heart rate patterns which are

02:00indicative of the meditative states. And the AI coach takes this data and

02:06is able to analyze it to help you understand what's going on. So we have

02:10most of your time spent in zone 1. We really want you to be in zone 3 so the

02:14app is going to teach you actually how to do that. That's why Mio was built. It's

02:17really to help you learn how to do each zone 3 so that you can

02:21help your nervous system working more efficiently recovering from stressors

02:26and that's what helps reversing chronic symptoms like brain fog, inflammation and

02:31chronic pain. How many times per day per week do you recommend something like this?

02:35So research has shown that doing this for 10 minutes daily helps reversing

02:41chronic diseases like even autoimmune and heart diseases with a protocol of

02:45three weeks. The longer the sessions the better so it has compounding benefits

02:50over time. What do you think moving forward is the future for Mio Health?

02:54Today actually we have incredible health systems partners that are prescribing Mio

02:57to their patients. So we would just want to continue on that journey to help

03:02distribute the solution to as many patients as possible.
