Our mission
Our mission is to provide novel, interdisciplinary approaches to treating medical conditions. Specifically, we strive to develop electrical waveforms that produce anti-microbial (electronic antibiotic), anti-inflammatory (electronic cortisone), and analgesic effects. By delivering these waveforms through automated, user-friendly devices, we seek to treat a multitude of medical ailments, including wounds and the pain from opiate withdrawal. We are also developing medical devices that utilize photonic technologies.
The ultimate purpose of our mission is to extend the quality and quantity of life. We are continually committed to providing a financially stable platform from which physicians can offer ethical and viable solutions in the global marketplace to significantly benefit patients worldwide.
