How it works: advanced science
Upthrive’s solution is a personal AI-powered wearable platform to implement custom ultrasound therapy for chronic pain management while leveraging advanced technology and AI. Our unique approach utilizes non-invasive neuromodulation to create acupuncture-like treatment conditions to mediate neural activity, muscle tension and neurotransmitter concentrations in specific locations in the body. While acupuncture has been known for centuries, it is only in the last few decades that modern science has started to quantify the effectiveness and understand the underlying mechanisms of this ancient treatment. Today there is a large body of rigorous scientific proof that acupuncture provides a unique tool to directly affect the nervous system (see the Motivation behind Upthrive). Our solution builds upon this understanding by invoking cutting-edge engineering to provide a holistic approach to addressing your pain points.
Upthrive - holistic pain relief so you can get Up and Thrive.
Upthrive pods: precise engineering
Our specially engineered pods are small palm-sized wearable devices (< 500g each) that create precise pressure points within the body mimicking conventional acupuncture at the meridian points, without ever having to puncture the skin or touch a needle, purely using ultrasound. The treatment is effective, quick, painless, self-administered and safe. Our AI-powered mobile-driven platform enables this via sophisticated feedback-control of the protocol, to deliver personalized treatment across multiple kinds of chronic pain conditions including migraines, lower back pain, neck pain and carpal tunnel syndrome. The inconspicuous pods can be strapped on quietly at the suggested points, allowing you to carry on with your activities throughout the day without any interruptions to what you love doing and to your pain management. Upthrive is engineered around the user’s needs to provide undisturbed treatment and undisturbed peace of mind.
Upthrive portal: sound support
Our mobile application guides you through the entire treatment step-by-step - it’s like having an expert in your phone, always on call. Your treatment protocol is determined based on your symptoms and pain history. To begin, you answer a few questions on the portal, after which Upthrive’s Visual AI helps direct you to place the devices in the precise locations needed for your protocols. Active feedback controls treatment profiles while monitoring results in real time, providing you pain relief in a way you can understand and control. At Upthrive, we know that chronic pain is a complex biopsychosocial condition and we’re here to support you in every way. Here, you’ll be able to connect all your other wearables on a single platform, use our inbuilt conversational assistant to talk to, get to build a community by sharing your experiences with others feeling your pain, and get back Up and Thrive!
