Inflammation is the key driver of complications and excess costs

Aurenar is on path to achieve tremendous health and economic impact by addressing inflammation - the underlying cause of life-threatening and costly complications in the ICU.

Our Approach

WEARABLE

NEUROMODULATION

Our ear-worn device boosts the body’s natural control of inflammation by activating a nerve located in the ear with imperceptible and non-invasive stimulation.
