Startup Raises $5 Million for Tiny Wearable that Prevents Fainting by Monitoring Blood Flow to the Brain

STAT Health sells an in-ear wearable to track blood flow 24/7 to help those with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Long COVID-19, and POTS.
The wearable measures blood flow to the head to better understand symptoms such as dizziness, brain fog, headaches, fainting, and fatigue that occur while standing.
The wearable is clinically tested at Johns Hopkins University and was shown to predict fainting in users minutes before it happens.
The wearable and subscription service will cost $50 per month, with the price decreasing over time for long-term customers.
The STAT earpiece is designed to better understand how CBF is related to conditions like long Covid, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS).
