IEEE Pulse, the magazine of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society, tells the story behind SONU. The feature follows how SoundHealth's co-founders, Stanford ENT Peter Hwang, MD, Bryant Lin, MD, and CEO Paramesh Gopi, PhD, turned an early study on humming into a headband that delivers personalized vibration through bone conduction. It covers how the SONU app uses a phone's face scan to estimate sinus volume, and the randomized, sham-controlled trial behind SONU's FDA clearance.
