head. The device uses audio visual stimulation to increase balance between the left and right side of your brain leading to greater relaxation. Ongoing use of your Sana mask resembles the effect of long-term meditative practices, which leads to a more restful state overall. Sana can clear a busy mind and accelerate mental and physical recovery.
What was your career background prior to founding Sana? I was studying Arabic at University. My second year was in Yemen, and I was close to the capital, Sana’a, when I had the accident that put me in a wheelchair and gave me a chronic nerve damage pain problem. This led me to develop the underlying technology of Sana.
How did you develop Sana? I used all of the research into how meditation effects long-term changes in the brain. The aim was to create meditation from the outside in, in order to help my own pain problem. It took nine months to develop the first prototype, and 18 years of improving it to get to where we are now.
