00:00We are demonstrating here the workflow with the cortisone, so these are the demo devices.
00:27I would apply the saliva.
00:37We have the microfluidic system here and then I would place the sensor on the device.
00:48We will start the measurement on the app that will take three minutes.
00:52This information will be transferred to the application.
00:56And I would do this four times a day and with this information I would be able to visualize
01:02the cortisone curve.
01:18And then the last measurement is done.
01:21Based on the data we can have some advice like what the person is going through with the mental health.
01:29The first measurement when you wake up, then two hours after you should have the deep cortisone level.
01:35And then for the day it should go down.
01:51Explanation. All they need to do whenever they want to do their regular training or whenever they are stressed,
02:09they are in moments of distress, they have any kind of acute situation, they turn on the device
02:15and they start exhaling through the mouth into the mouthpiece.
02:19And when they do that they will see the three lights turn on.
02:28They recommend the time for them to do this for three minutes in order to make sure that we activate
02:32the parasympathetic nervous system well, although they usually feel the relief even before.
02:38This is what provides the olfactory stimulation, this part that has relaxing sounds to it.
02:44And the first step for the user is to create their safe place because this is what we usually do
02:48with people suffering from anxiety and PTSD as a first step.
02:51And with these coins they can add items to their safe place.
02:56By using the device they can progress in the app and they can also add items to their safe place.
03:05By using the device they can progress in the app and the app walk them through their mental health journey
03:11and add some therapeutic effect as well.
03:34I don't want that.
04:04I don't want that.
