Juva Health is a digital health company that aims to be the best non-drug treatment for patients with migraine (and other health conditions). We uniquely offer mobile phone-based biofeedback as an alternative to clinic-based biofeedback.

Biofeedback is a proven treatment that is effective as medication and is offered by many hospitals and reimbursed by many insurance carriers, but patients must visit a clinic and be attached to instruments and wires.

Unison lets patients treat themselves at home using their mobile phone video camera, which remotely measures vital health parameters such as heart rate and blood volume pulse and uses this data to teach the patient how to make changes that reduce symptoms of serious illnesses such as migraine. This same technology can deliver evidence-based treatment for other conditions such as stress, chronic pain and anxiety.

With migraine being the No. 1 reason for avoidable emergency room visits and a top reason for employees calling in sick, this advancement in treatment offers significant benefits for health care systems, insurance carriers, self-insured employers and clinicians.

Biofeedback and relaxation therapies are scientifically proven therapies for the prevention and management of migraine. Their effectiveness has been established in hundreds of studies over 50 years of research.  They are endorsed by the American Headache Society, National Headache Foundation and American Academy of Neurology among dozens of other national and international medical and psychological scientific organizations.  Biofeedback with relaxation training typically yields a 45% to 60% reduction in headache attack frequency which is equivalent to the reduction achieved by many traditional oral migraine preventive medications, such as propranolol (Inderal®) and amitriptyline (Elavil®), but without side effects.  Biofeedback and relaxation therapy can be used alone or in conjunction with medication and other therapies and are safe in all stages.
