About
AYO is based on almost 30 years of research in leading institutions such as Harvard, Oxford and NASA. The blue light properties of the AYO device conform to the referent values established by one of the most extensively clinically researched blue light therapy devices, namely the Philips GoLite BLU. Notably, the AYO device surpasses this reference lightbox in key aspects:
- Significantly Reduced Glare: AYO boasts up to 6 times less glare, minimising eye annoyance and ensuring a comfortable user experience.
- Portability and Ease of Use: AYO is designed for on-the-go use, allowing users to seamlessly incorporate light therapy into their daily routines.
Blue light therapy has a well-established track record of providing a range of benefits, including improvements in sleep quality, cognitive performance, mood enhancement, and circadian rhythm regulation when appropriately timed exposure is administered. These benefits are extensively documented in various research publications.
The AYO Circadian Light Therapy can be used with or without the support of the AYO app, and is ideal for people who want to naturally boost energy, decrease morning drowsiness, and improve their sleep health, such as:
- Shift workers to help them manage their sleep/wake routines
- Athletes looking to optimise their training schedule
- Teenagers who need support waking in the morning
- Anyone struggling to regulate their sleep/wake routine and understand their circadian rhythm
- Frequent travellers, helping them to minimise jetlag symptoms by aligning their circadian rhythm with their destination’s time zone during the flight
- Clinicians looking to make adjustments to the circadian rhythm of their patients.
AYO Circadian Light Therapy Glasses work alongside the AYO companion app to deliver a customised light therapy program to naturally boost energy, decrease morning drowsiness, minimise jet lag symptoms, and improve sleep health. AYO is portable and easy to wear while going about normal daily routines. Opening the glasses triggers the start of an automatic 20-minute session, with the battery offering a week of sessions on a single charge.
AYO makes initiating light therapy easy as the AYO companion app uses proprietary algorithms to analyse the user’s circadian health, offering stage-specific advice throughout the day regarding light exposure, food, caffeine, mental alertness, exercise and sleep.
“AYO’s approach to Circadian Health is essential for keeping our circadian rhythms in synchrony with the 24-hour day & night cycle. The human body functions based on finely synchronised biological processes. Desynchronisation between social and biological time constitute a regular challenge for many people nowadays. As a result, serious consequences for sleep, wellbeing and health can follow. Daily provision of timed light and dark exposure with additional “time cues” to the circadian rhythm will help maintain restorative sleep, wellbeing and health.”
