About
BioHug Technologies researches sensory-related disorders and develops assistive and diagnostic devices to help people who have these disorders as well as those who support or treat them. The company aims to gain a better understanding of the nature of autism and to translate its research into practical instruments. BioHug Technologies is currently developing the technology to measure sensory-processing function and to detect when it malfunctions, which may have an enormous impact on the study and treatment of autism. The BioHug Vest is designed to lower individual stress and anxiety levels by using the human nervous systems fundamental response to deep pressure. Clinical trials have shown that BioHug Vests are especially helpful in calming people who are under daily stress from sensory-processing disorders such as autism, ADHD, and PTSD. The vest uses a patented algorithm to continuously change the placement of deep pressure. Through the use of assistive technologies, people on the autism spectrum can be better included in society, also easing the burden on their caregivers. By wearing the BioHug Vest, people whose functioning is otherwise impaired can reduce their extreme levels of stress for an improved quality of life.
