\nThis little wearable is designed to detect blood flow to the brain<\/br>
\n2023-06-13 21:58:51<\/br><\/p>\n

STAT Health calls the human ear a \u201cbiometric gold mine.\u201d The startup, which emerged out of stealth this morning, is talking specifically about cerebral blood flow (CBF). That\u2019s pretty much what it sounds like: the blood supply to the brain measured over a specific length of time. A lack of blood flow to the brain creates all sorts of unpleasantness, like dizziness, fainting, headaches and \u201cbrain fog.\u201d<\/p>\n

If that last one in particular rings any bells, it\u2019s likely due to ongoing conversations around the cause and symptoms of long Covid. It\u2019s not a medical condition, but it pops up when discussing a variety of impairments. For some time, medical officials have believed that CBF can prove an important biomarker for understanding a variety of conditions.<\/p>\n

That notion is foundational to STAT Health<\/a>. The startup was founded in 2020 by Daniel Lee and Paul Jin, of Bose\u2019s Health Product Innovation Group. Lee joined the headphone giant in 2016 after it acquired his smart earplug firm Hush, whose technology would form the foundation for Sleepbuds<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Backed by $5.1 million in seed funding from J2 Ventures and BonAngels Venture Partners (along with a U.S. Air Force grant), the new company has produced the STAT earpiece, a small wearable designed to monitor CBF in order to better understand how the measurement is related to conditions like long Covid, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) and myalgic encephalomyelitis\/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME\/CFS) \u2013 often considered \u201cinvisible illnesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s well understood that the ear is a biometric gold mine because of its close proximity to the brain and major arteries,\u201d Lee says in a release. \u201cIn addition, the ear is largely isolated from data corruption caused by arm motion \u2013 a problem that plagues current wearables and prevents them from monitoring heart metrics during many daily tasks. The ear is really the ideal window into the brain and heart.\u201d<\/p>\n

It occupies an interesting area, given that it\u2019s neither a mainstream wearable like the Sleepbuds (or, for that matter, an number of VO2 max measuring watches\/bands) nor a medical device. It\u2019s also designed to offer insight into what is a relatively emerging segment of biometric measurements.<\/p>\n

STAT is designed to be worn all day and night and is small enough to work with various earbuds. It also features solar charge, which can hypothetically mean you won\u2019t have to take it out. The device opens for pre-orders today.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
