As part of our ongo­ing mar­ket research we’d like to ask past and cur­rent users of Inter­Cure prod­ucts to share their expe­ri­ence with us via this 3-question anony­mous sur­vey.  Please take this sur­vey if you have used a Inter­Cure prod­uct your­self or have seen some­one else use it.

Please note that we do not endorse this prod­uct (or any other) or any of the claims below. We inde­pen­dently track and ana­lyze emerg­ing brain/ cog­ni­tive sci­ence, tech­nol­ogy and inno­va­tion, and their real-world appli­ca­tions. This sur­vey helps us learn more about the latter.

Com­pany name: Inter­Cure Ltd.

Com­pany descrip­tion (in their own words, in their own web­site): “Inter­Cure is a med­ical device com­pany, is suc­cess­fully sell­ing the world’s first, FDA-cleared, non-drug, non-invasive hyper­ten­sion treat­ment device.  Inter­Cure has an excit­ing prod­uct pipeline based on its broadly-patented “Device-Guided Breath­ing” tech­nol­ogy plat­form. This tech­nol­ogy enables a sys­tem­atic reduc­tion in sym­pa­thetic out­flow of the auto­nomic ner­vous sys­tem, one of the key under­ly­ing causes of car­dio­vas­cu­lar dis­ease, insom­nia and sev­eral other med­ical conditions.”

Main prod­uct name/s: RES­PeR­ATE — for adult ages.

Prod­uct descrip­tion (in their own words, in their own web­site): “RES­PeR­ATE is the first med­ical device clin­i­cally to har­ness the nat­ural power of breath­ing to lower blood pres­sure.  High blood pres­sure is gen­er­ally caused by your blood ves­sels tight­en­ing up and nar­row­ing; this then causes your heart to pump harder.  RESPeRATE’s unique breath­ing exer­cise relaxes con­stricted blood ves­sels to reduce high blood pres­sure.  When you use RES­PeR­ATE, you put on head­phones and attach a sen­sor around your chest.  RESPeRATE’s breath­ing sen­sor auto­mat­i­cally ana­lyzes your indi­vid­ual breath­ing pat­tern and cre­ates a per­son­al­ized melody com­posed of two dis­tinct inhale and exhale guid­ing tones.  Sim­ply lis­ten to the melody through the head­phones, and your body’s nat­ural ten­dency to fol­low exter­nal rhythms will enable you to eas­ily syn­chro­nize your breath­ing to the tones. By grad­u­ally pro­long­ing the exha­la­tion tone to slow your breath­ing, RES­PeR­ATE leads you to the ther­a­peu­tic zone of less than 10 breaths per minute. Within a few min­utes, the mus­cles sur­round­ing the small blood ves­sels in your body relax, blood flows more freely, and your blood pres­sure is sig­nif­i­cantly reduced.”
