An innovative medical device that uses neuromodulatory technology to address menstrual health symptoms and increase the productivity of women

Samphire是一家英国医疗器械SME，其核心项目团队为Emile Radyte（首席执行官/项目负责人），亚历山大库克（首席运营官/商业负责人）和Ervinas Bernatavicius（产品经理/技术负责人）.大多数育龄妇女都出现与怀孕有关的症状，因此无法工作，这导致因病而丧失生产力，这些妇女在身体不适的情况下上班，缺勤和工作表现不佳。英国每年的生产力损失估计为174亿英镑。目前处理月经症状的选择是有限的，主要强调药物解决方案。这使得女性几乎没有办法控制自己的症状。Sampire正在开发一种可穿戴的、非侵入性的医疗设备，这种设备以发带的形式出现，使用个性化的神经调节技术来解决与情绪和疼痛有关的月经健康症状。SamphireNeuro设备将成为一种个性化、有效和创新的解决方案，用于治疗五分之四的女性所经历的经前抑郁和月经疼痛。它将提高妇女的生产力，在某些情况下每年提高23天以上，对她们的福祉、工作机会和平等产生积极影响。该设备建立在可信和有效的科学基础上，包含三项关键创新，使其成为同类产品中首个解决未解决需求的解决方案。

Samphire is a UK medical device SME with a core project team of Emile Radyte (CEO/project lead), Alexander Cook (COO/commercial lead) and Ervinas Bernatavicius (product manager/technical lead).A large majority of reproductive-age women experience menstruation-related symptoms and have missed work as a result, which has led to a loss of productivity through sickness, absence and underperformance by those women who go to work while feeling unwell. The annual cost of this productivity loss in the UK has been estimated at £17.4B. Current options for dealing with menstrual symptoms are limited, with a large emphasis on pharmacological solutions. This leaves women with few options to manage their symptoms.Samphire is developing a wearable, non-invasive medical device in the form of a hairband that uses personalised neuromodulatory technology to address mood and pain-related menstrual health symptoms. The device is being built alongside women and uniquely adapted for their needs.The SamphireNeuro Device will be a personalised, effective and innovative solution for pre-menstrual depression and menstrual pain experienced by four in five women. It will improve women's productivity, in some cases by over 23 days per year, positively impacting their wellbeing, work opportunities and equality.The device, which is being built on trusted and valid science, contains three key innovations that make it the first solution of its kind for an unaddressed need.
