Describe the problem we are trying to solve.

Hypertension, headache and bio-sensor driven markets are enormous in size and potential. More than 30% of the world population has hypertension and the consequent cost of the individual and the society are mounting, $5T/year direct and indirect. Headache and migraine have a similar epidemical statistic as well. Furthermore, hypertension is known as a silent killer since it is responsible for most of the mortality and paramount diseases of cardiovascular, kidney, bone, vision, and even sexual problems. Drugs are expensive, averaging more than $150 per month, and can have severe side-effects that cause many patients to seek alternative treatments—or none at all.
PhysioCue Product lines are in 3 major categories. 1. High blood pressure reduction therapy 2. Migraine headache therapy 3. Bio-sensor blood pressure monitors: PhysioCue’s hypertension therapy device and headache therapy devices are non-invasive, no pain, immediate effect, safe, easy to use, and has none of the side effects associated with anti-hypertension and headache drugs. PhysioCue’s thermo-neural therapy device that demonstrated its efficacy, in our initial clinical trial, by significantly lowering, in just 5-minute daily applications, the blood pressure of 87% of 60 subjects, over 68 days.
