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.
