About Richard Hanbury

Richard Hanbury is the founder of Sana Health; a neuromodulation platform for pain relief and deep relaxation. Richard developed the technology behind Sana to eradicate his own life-threatening pain problem following a spinal cord injury from a jeep crash near Sana in Yemen in 1992. Richard has an MBA (Healthcare) from the Wharton School, and DipLaw (College of Law London). The original benchtop device removed all his nerve damage pain in 3 months, saving his life. He has spent 25 years developing the Sana technology from the original benchtop device to the current device undergoing clinical trials. Clinical trials have just been completed in Opioid Use Disorder and Fibromyalgia. Sana is launching in Fibromyalgia in 2020.

About This Idea

Sana Health is a neuromodulation wearable for the control of chronic pain, addiction and anxiety. Sana uses audio/visual stimulation to guide the user into a state of deep relaxation in 10 minutes, this also consistently increases neuroplasticity - dramatically impacting base pain, fatigue, depression and anxiety levels over time. With the recent wins at UCSF Digital Health Awards and NATO Innovation Summit, Sana is getting recognition which points to the need for clinically proven alternatives to pharmacological solutions in the neurosphere. Pain, addiction and anxiety are widespread problems that Sana hopes to play a major role in helping alleviate - starting with Fibromyalgia.
