Kernel

Founded in 2016 by entrepreneur Bryan Johnson, Kernel is dedicated to revolutionizing neuromedicine through advanced brain measurement technologies. With a significant personal investment, Johnson established the company to explore the potential of neuroprosthetics and brain-computer interfaces.  

Kernel’s primary innovation, the Kernel Flow headset, utilizes time-domain functional near-infrared spectroscopy (TD-fNIRS) to monitor brain activity. This non-invasive device measures changes in blood oxygenation, serving as a proxy for neural activity, and achieves a sampling rate of 200Hz. The integration of hemodynamic data with EEG signals offers a detailed understanding of brain function, facilitating applications in treatment response prediction, translational research, clinical trial optimization, and early identification of neurological conditions.

Key Features:

Accessible and Portable: Kernel Flow is designed for ease of use, with a setup time of less than three minutes, making it suitable for various environments, including clinical and research settings.

Comprehensive Data Collection: The device combines hemodynamic and EEG measurements to provide a holistic view of cortical activity, enabling precise monitoring of brain function.

Validated Technology: Kernel’s platform is built upon decades of functional neuroimaging research and has been validated through multiple peer-reviewed publications, ensuring the reliability and accuracy of its measurements.

Kernel’s mission is to make brain measurement as accessible and routine as blood tests, empowering clinicians and researchers with the data needed to advance neuromedicine and improve patient care.

Deesse Pro – Professional LED Light Therapy That Delivers Clinical Results at Home Deesse Pro represents the convergence of dermatological science and Swiss precision engineering. For over two decades, this brand has pioneered LED phototherapy technology used in medical clinics and professional aesthetic practices worldwide. Now available for home use, Deesse devices bring clinical-grade light therapy to those who understand that effective skincare goes beyond topical products—it requires activating cellular processes at the dermal level. The Science of LED Phototherapy: LED light therapy, or photobiomodulation, works by delivering specific wavelengths of light that penetrate skin at various depths to trigger biological responses. Different wavelengths activate distinct cellular pathways: red light stimulates fibroblast activity and collagen synthesis, near-infrared penetrates deeper to reduce inflammation and accelerate healing, blue light targets acne-causing bacteria and regulates sebum production, and green light addresses hyperpigmentation and evens skin tone. This isn't passive skincare—it's active intervention at the cellular level. When light photons are absorbed by mitochondria, they enhance ATP production, the energy currency cells use for repair and regeneration. The result is measurable improvements in skin texture, elasticity, pigmentation, and inflammatory conditions that topical products alone cannot achieve. What Makes Deesse Pro Different: Most consumer LED devices compromise on power output, wavelength precision, or treatment coverage to reduce costs. Deesse Pro maintains professional-grade specifications: medical-grade LED arrays calibrated to therapeutic wavelengths, sufficient irradiance levels to penetrate effectively, full-face or body coverage for even treatment, and Swiss manufacturing standards that ensure consistency and longevity.
