It’s hard to track and document sleep and stress patterns.
Repeating the same information to different providers is exhausting.
It’s challenging to anticipate and manage emotional dysregulation.
Poor sleep impacts your wellbeing.
It’s difficult to focus on your own needs when caring for someone else.
PhiliaHealth can help.

Our mission is to bridge the gaps in care, foster understanding, and provide tools that celebrate neurodiversity. We believe in the power of collaboration, centring autistic voices in every step of our design process. Through technology and human connection, we strive to unlock opportunities for autistic individuals to thrive and lead fulfilling lives.
Anxiety and burnout shaped my journey, leading me to join Philia Labs in 2018 to help quantify stress. Inspired by my autistic brother’s needs, I am dedicated
to creating solutions that support the mental and physical well-being of neurodivergent individuals and their families.
I lead a small, flexible team that ensures that the benefits of PhiliaHealth are communicated correctly to different stakeholders. I have lots of experience working with NDIS-related projects, so I completely understand how important it is to reach neurodivergent individuals.

I manage Philia Labs' machine learning pipelines for commercial and scientific initiatives. As a neurodivergent individual, I am committed to ensuring that that Philia Labs' products can serve the neurodivergent community effectively, where consumer wearables cannot.
I focus on creating policies and programs that empower neurodivergent individuals to advocate for themselves and access services more effectively. I advise Philia Labs as I believe their approach to measuring the body's stress has great potential for the well-being of neurodivergent people!
We built this with autistic people, for autistic people.

We help you measure stress and sleep so that you can find ways to feel better and calmer.
We work with professionals who get autism.
We're here for the autistic community, building tools together to make life easier. Sharing info is simple, we work with autism-friendly professionals and focus on what actually helps.
"If the device says that I’ve had a bad night's sleep, this will prompt me to review the past day and try to determine root causes. If I’m feeling bad but the device indicates that I did have a good night's sleep, then I’d focus more on what’s happening in the present or will happen."

Scientifically-Developed Algorithms: Created in collaboration with Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute
and Deakin University to measure “fight or flight” and “rest and digest” activities. See journal paper.
Pilot Study: PhiliaHealth was trialled in 2023 with Dr. Duane Smith and Ms Holly Bridges, an autistic advocate and founder of the Anxiety Reduction Technique. White paper summary here and full report here.
Advisory Board: We are supported by a board of clinicians, stress measurement experts, and autism advocates.
Ongoing Research: We are collaborating with global academics and advocacy groups to refine and improve PhiliaHealth. A current study is with RMIT University's School of Health & Biomedicine to demonstrate how our algorithms respond to transcendental meditation in 122 adults.

Dilpreet created PhiliaHealth because of his own lifelong struggle with anxiety. With a strong track record in research and development and a PhD in blood pressure monitoring, he realised that some people are wired differently when it comes to stress. His goal was to create something that helps people, especially those on the autism spectrum, to better understand and manage their stress.
Alex’s motivation behind PhiliaHealth is also deeply personal. Anxiety and burnout shaped his journey, leading him to join Dilpreet to help quantify 'stress' so that it can be better managed. Inspired by his autistic brother, who requires substantial support, Alex is committed to creating solutions that enhance the mental and physical well-being of neurodivergent individuals and their families.
Philia Labs developed algorithms to quantify the body's fight or flight and rest and digest activity with the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute and Deakin University in Melbourne, Victoria. See this publication for more information.
PhiliaHealth was trialled in a pilot study with Dr Duane Smith of Stream Psychology and Holly Bridges, an autistic individual and Founder of the Anxiety Reduction Technique. A white paper is available as a summary and a full report.
See our advisory board, which consists of clinicians, stress measurement experts as well as advocates for Autism.
We are continuing to build research alliances with academics and advocacy groups across the world to refine our product and invite you to give any feedback.
The short answer is: Yes, we are actively engaging with advocacy organisations and have established an advisory board of leading experts around the world. This includes Dr. Emma Goodall, an autistic individual who is also an author, keynote speaker, researcher, and a consultant in disability and education.
We are also expanding our partnerships with researchers, early adopters, healthcare professionals, and advocacy organisations who support our mission. Stay tuned as we continue to add endorsements and testimonials.
For starters, we are processing:
-Sleep Length
-Sleep timings i.e. when you went to sleep and woke up
-Sleep stages (awake / light / deep) as measured by movement
-The percentage of time spent asleep in bed (versus time spent in bed but awake).
-Disturbances are an indication of how much “tossing and turning” is occurring.
-Heart rate variability (HRV), which indicates rest and digest or parasympathetic activity. HRV will indicate that the body has been able to recharge, while a lower than normal HRV indicates that the body has been under strain and needs to recover; a low 7-day average can indicate increasing anxiety.
We have chosen these metrics as clinical guidelines for poor sleep and mental well-being generally recommend measuring sleep length and efficiency as an option (Riemann et al, 2017, "European guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of insomnia." J Sleep Res 26(6): 675-700.).
Philia Labs is also developing an indicator of sympathetic arousal, which has been trialled alongside HRV. This is currently being integrated into PhiliaHealth and we will inform users when it is available.
See our white paper which is available as a high level summary and as a full report.

We issue you an invoice, which you can pay out of pocket or pay via NDIS (self or plan managed).
Once the invoice has been paid, we will post the device and on-board you in terms setting up and learning how to interpret and communicate your biometrics.
No, this is not a watch or smartwatch. It is a device that collects and processes high-quality biometrics.
By default, only you. You have the ability to share screenshots from the mobile device with others via Whatsapp / email / text etc.
In the future, a health provider who subscribes to Philia Labs’ platform will - only with your consent - be able to view your data and have discussions with you around your health plan.
For nightly use only, it can last roughly 5 nights.
For continuous use, roughly two days.
Charging takes approximately 30 minutes.
The nylon strap is velcro-fastened, while the silicone strap is a regular watch strap.
Currently they can be damaged like other consumer devices. We are looking to options that can make them more robust.
It does not have a screen so it cannot be damaged that way.
No, they are only splash proof. Showering with the wearables is not recommended.
PhiliaHealth is IP65 Splash Resistant, so please do not wear it when swimming or in a sauna or steam room.
Minor splashes are fine (washing hands or walking in the rain, but DO NOT submerge it in water!)
Philia Labs provides a black fabric or black silicone strap.We are working on providing silicone straps of other colours. In the meantime, you can purchase your own 18mm silicone straps on Amazon.com.
Data can be exported as csv from a web app.
Currently no, but it is on our roadmap
It comes with a strap (which can be nylon or silicone as requested by you) and a USB-C charging cable and a USB-C to USB-A adapter.
A charger is not included, but any standard charging or computer USB port will be sufficient to charge PhiliaHealth.
We do not recommend a fast charger as this can damage PhiliaHealth!
