Social Impact Projects for Sence
Donation protected
As we embark on 2018, I can’t help but look back at 2017 and marvel at the truly momentous year we leave behind. I believe that 2017 will one day be discussed in medical history books as the year that started the golden age of connected health - Saving millions of people from sudden cardiovascular death and creating a steady impact on global population health.
2017 was the year of SenceTech and Planexta emerging with the first of many products. A fledgling family of companies, already being named in the "Top 20 Connected Health Providers of 2017" by Healthcare Tech Outlook Magazine and listed alongside giants such as GE Healthcare, Philips Healthcare, and AliveCore in the market report of Technavio as a prominent player that can influence the Global Electrocardiography (ECG) Device Market 2017-2021.
You see, we are on a mission to save lives - especially those who don't yet know they need saving. Over 1/3 of all deaths globally are stress and cardiovascular disease-related and over 40% are UNDIAGNOSED prior to the life-ending event. SenceTech is bridging the gap between consumers and their healthcare providers by introducing a revolutionary new wearable technology called SenceBand .
Sence is the world’s first fully autonomous ECG monitor for one limb that does not require the wearer to take conscious measures (stop activity, use the second hand, etc) to collect professional grade electrocardiogram data. The user simply chooses how often they would like a reading taken and after a quick calibration the bracelet independently pulls data in set time intervals (every 10, 30 or 60 minutes.)
The consumer app uses ECG data to read accurate and constant HRV . HRV is essentially a window into the inner workings of the human body.
The SenceHub App translates stress levels, recovery rates, emotions, workout analytics and vitality (a direct reading of autonomic nervous system function) for consumers and their chosen social network.
SenceHub also connects to the phone's calendar and GPS so the wearer can develop a better understanding of their stress patterns and make data driven behavioral changes to facilitate stress reduction and prevention to promote personal, mental and physical wellness - lowering the chances of chronic illness in the future.
The same data can be forwarded directly from the consumer app via Precise, our proprietary cloud-based medical ECG/HRV translation platform to healthcare providers with a complete medical interpretation to aid in diagnosis, constant monitoring and/or remote care.
We are dedicated to building a rich, multifaceted partner ecosystem where our partners are either using Sence as a constant monitoring tool or building on top of our technology. Our partners are applying this data to everything from stress reduction, pain management, mental health and PTSD to crowd engagement at sports events in order to weave Sence into the fabric of society, engage more users and create a more substantial opportunity to save the lives of over a million annual undiagnosed and sudden cardiovascular disease-related death victims.
As with any startup, the road ahead of us is long and challenging. We are currently in the first round of self-funded manufacturing. Due to limited budgets, unexpected additional manufacturing costs and a deep desire to ensure the highest quality and medically accurate readings, we are only able to produce a limited quantity of product.
After delivering our 1,150 crowdfunding pre-orders in February, we will only have 1,000 units left for our partner projects and consumers. It doesn't make sense to start an eCommerce consumer push with such limited quantities or to roll out our planned "Heart-Centered Affiliate" program yet since our manufacturing timeline is still currently about 3-4 months long.
We are creating this Go Fund Me campaign to kill 3 birds with one stone:
1) Allow our partners, families, friends, personal business networks and our partner's personal networks and loved ones an opportunity to be among the first to own and use this revolutionary new technology.
2) Pre-sell the available SenceBands of February's batch so we can apply the funds to advancing the next round of manufacturing- decreasing the time-gap between the first and second rounds as we work to scale the manufacturing process.
3) To secure more bands via donation for our Social Impact partner projects whose budgets may be low- but whos projects have extremely high potential for groundbreaking insights or can affect the plight of thousands+ in need.
