The POTScast

By: Standing Up to POTS Inc.
  • Summary

  • Learn about Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) and more by joining us each week for a new episode. If you are living with POTS, MCAS or other chronic illnesses, you are not alone! Our goal is to raise awareness, nurture community, and empower patients with information and practical skills for living better with this chronic invisible illness. Each month, we feature episodes with top POTS physicians as well as POTS patients. Because many POTS patients are eventually diagnosed with MCAS, the first Tuesday of every month we feature a new series called Mast Cell Matters, in which top MCAS practitioners share their experiences in better treating patients. You can learn more by listening to our groundbreaking POTScast anywhere, anytime. Visit our website at www.standinguptopots.org and follow our social media accounts @standinguptopots.

  • E231:Lumia tracks blood flow to the head with Daniel Lee
    Nov 10 2024

    Engineer and tech founder Daniel Lee created the Lumia to be a personal wearable device that fits in the ear and measures blood flow to the head, along with several other measurements and a phone app. This allows POTS patients, researchers and others to track how their activities, foods, medications, and other environmental factors are affecting blood flow to the head and symptoms of POTS. He explains how it all works and also shares interesting findings revealed by the Lumia in their research partnerships with major academic centers and also from POTS patients wearing the Lumia in normal life. Daniel is a wealth of information about POTS, especially coming from the perspective of circulation to the head.

    You can learn more about the Lumia device at https://lumiahealth.com/.
