MedScape Feature

Calmstone’s first adopters were medical professionals who have now endorsed the device for anxiety and stress relief. Upon attendance of the 2023 American College of Lifestyle Medicine Conference, we were featured on MedScape which lead to Calmstone quickly gaining attention from a broader audience consisting of wellness experts, corporate wellness program directors, and holistic health practitioners.

As word spread about its effectiveness, Calmstone began to be integrated into various therapeutic practices and corporate wellness initiatives, solidifying its reputation as a reliable tool for enhancing mental and physical well-being.

  • The Science

    Calmstone harnesses the power of thermal biofeedback, a scientifically validated method that helps users understand and regulate their body's stress response.

    Thermal biofeedback works by monitoring subtle changes in skin temperature, which is directly linked to blood flow and the autonomic nervous system. When we experience stress or anxiety, our blood vessels constrict, leading to a drop in skin temperature.

    Calmstone provides real-time feedback on these changes, empowering users to consciously engage in relaxation techniques that promote vasodilation, or the widening of blood vessels, which in turn increases skin temperature.

    By training the body to respond to stress with relaxation rather than tension, users can effectively reduce anxiety, manage chronic pain, and improve overall well-being.

  • Research Validation & Real-World Impact

    Under Dr. Ly’s guidance, Calmstone has undergone extensive testing and has shown promising results in both research settings and real-world applications. In studies led by Dr. Ly, participants experienced reductions of anxiety scores in 80% of biofeedback sessions, and reductions of chronic pain scores in 60% of biofeedback sessions. Additionally, sleep quality improved for the majority of participants, underscoring Calmstone's ability to enhance overall well-being.

    Calmstone’s approach is not only grounded in science but also offers a natural, effective, and non-invasive way to enhance mental and physical health through consistent practice.
