Healium

Sarah Hill and her team started Healium as a project to serve veterans tours of memorials, but quickly saw its broader application in overall wellness across the world.

Virtual reality affects one’s physiology. Veterans were not just watching these experiences; they were feeling them. That led Healium on a journey to create a drugless, non-harmful coping mechanism. Missouri Technology Corp seeded the initial investment that allowed Healium to gain their invaluable patents. Today, Healium is expanding their repertoire to sleep and to include compatible wearables such as FitBit, Aura Ring, and WHOOP to gain more data and enhance the experience.
