Lief Therapeutics

Lief Therapeutics is a San Francisco-based wellness company that makes hardware and software to aid with relieving stress. Its products are insurance reimbursable and FDA exempt. The company has partnered with others such as DrChrono to enhance its product and further develop it.

The company's product consists of a patch that is used to measure a user's breath and heart rate in order to measure their stress levels. It is available by prescription from a medical professional. The patch is to be worn during waking hours and is to be placed on the rib cage area of the user. The body is analyzed in five different zones and there is continuous electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring. Lief educates the user on how to manage stress through biofeedback exercises. Users also have access to a coach via the company's platform, which can be accessed through a mobile application. The coach gives personal recommendations for reducing and managing stress and does so based off of data which is collected by the patch.
