A convenient hand-held home-use device leveraging photobiomodulation to alleviate the symptoms of allergic rhinitis without side effects and with results superior to antihistamines

About

We have successfully designed, patented and tested a phototherapeutic medical device for the treatment of seasonal allergenic rhinitis, and which has the potential to disrupt the $7.6 billion nasal allergy market. The Allergia device is a disruptive innovation. It is the only platform capable of delivering light in a convenient and marketable hand-held home-use device with the intensity and quality necessary to alleviate the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. Moreover, results from our pilot study were superior to what is generally achieved with antihistamines. We are excited to be part of a growing number of emerging medical device startups with innovations that treat diseases without drugs. The Allergia device treats patients more economically, effectively, safely than current drug options, and without side effects (no drowsiness, headaches, fevers, nosebleeds).
