We have a vital purpose to help every human being to reduce their allostatic load and average cortisol levels by half. We believe we can do this by focusing on the pandemic of chronic stress that affects 74% of the population, the main indicator of immunosuppression due to high levels of stress.
3 out of 4 people in urban areas have suffered a stressful event in the last year that they have not been able to manage, affecting their physical, mental and emotional health. The current lifestyle in urban areas is denaturalized, as it has taken human beings out of their natural way of life. Stress accounts for 15% of occupational health expenditure due to illness. On average, sick leave takes 90 days for a person to recover from an imbalance in his or her nervous system, costing more than $300 billion in the United States. 50% of the population says that stress affects their daily productivity. Environmental, socioeconomic, behavioral and genetic factors account for 80% of our health, and any stressor in one of these factors causes our nervous systems to act in fight or flight mode, activating our sympathetic system. Today's society maintains very high levels of all these stressors, causing an imbalance in the individual and collective way of life.
High levels of glucocortisol, hypocortisolism, a hormone that indicates stress levels in the body, affecting the physical, mental and emotional health of every human being, cause immunosuppression, heart disease, anxiety, depression and many others. The allostatic load, the average levels of glucocortisol in the blood, over time, due to the current lifestyle, fail to recover to their basal levels. Causing an inability of the individual to operate in a state of rest or digest, causing a reduction in self-esteem, behavioral changes, digestive problems and decompensation due to associated comorbidities.
Stress and burnout is a silent pandemic that affects a significant level of all human beings in urban areas, causing damage at the individual level (physical, mental and emotional) and at the population level, creating high costs to the health and societal system. At the same time, there is a demand for integral and holistic wellness and mental and physical health services that the market has not yet been able to meet.
Contemplative sciences based on the latest advances in neuroscience, transpersonal psychology, pharmacology and cognitive sciences are proving that the technologies developed by ancient contemplative traditions have a beneficial effect on our physical, mental and emotional health. This revival of ancient psychic and energetic technologies do not say that there are signatures of reduced stress levels without the use of long-term in-vitro or pharmacological interventions. Coupling these ancient technologies with current information technologies can help minimize the impact on our bodies of environmental, behavioral, socioeconomic and emotional stressors.
Iridis' success will come from the design and development of technologies and experiences that have quantitative and qualitative effectiveness in measuring and reducing stress levels and the holistic health status of a human being.
Iridis is focused on helping people in metropolitan areas with high stress levels who wish to reduce their stress levels for greater physical, mental and emotional health. Our service is provided physically and/or online. Through a mobile App that uses the voice as a biomarker of stress level and composes music for the application of sound therapy based on frequencies determined by the algorithm. For the physical service we have a patented sound pyramid that maximizes the result of the sound therapy, creating a relaxing and meditative experience.
With this service, a multi-session stress reduction plan is created, which allows a human being to know their current stress level and see the reduction of stress over the course of the various sound therapy sessions.
Iridis Care's current strategy is focused on developing the technology, customer facing products and user experience design needed to reduce stress levels and its prevention. Focusing on the first phase of a scalable population-wide stress reduction strategy. We aim to serve over 2000 users in the next 12 months and have the world's first sound therapy based stress reduction clinic.
Is it possible to reduce stress levels with sound therapy?
Is it possible to build stress biomarkers from voice?
Is it possible to automate self-diagnosis of stress levels?
Is it possible to prevent stress through technologies based on contemplative sciences?
Is it possible to provide a fully personalized service for stress management?
