  • A neuro-meditation kit, Helium XR uses virtual reality to encourage the user to think positively and decrease stress. The kit includes the Original Muse headband, which through EEG monitoring, results in changes to the virtual environment the user inhabits. Virtual environments include a waterfall, a plant, and a solar system, among others. The users' positive thoughts (measured by gamma asymmetry) can "float" them up a waterfall, attract butterflies to a plant, and increase the light of the sun.

  • This centralized portal allows patients to request Personal Health Records (PHRs) from anywhere in the world through their smartphone or computer. The idea is to overcome the process of logging on to various different portals in order to obtain medical records and instead have them in one place. The Company claims Got Health-e insures secure data transmission that meets Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) standards.

  • HearAngel is an app that calibrates to any earpiece and informs the listener of possible dangerous sound levels. The app tracks daily sound allowance (according to the WHO, 85 dB for a max of 8 hours is the sound level you can reach before permanent damage begins); the user can also decide to automatically adjust their levels to keep it in a safe zone.

  • According to Philips, this "digital experience" helps to "easily form and activate a care circle of trusted family and friends". The platform essentially shares medical information, through smart devices, between aging individuals and caregivers. It is an extension of the existing Philips Lifeline, a medical alert service used by seniors to gain fast medical assistance at the push of a button.

  • This wearable, worn on the wrist, uses low-frequency pulses to manipulate brainwaves in a process known as entrainment, synchronizing brainwaves to activate the natural process of sleep. This is done through emitting the signal of deep sleep from the wristband. A companion app helps track sleep quality.
