Dilpreet

Buxi, PhD

Chief Product Officer and co-founder

I identify as a neurodivergent individual. I’ve battled with anxiety for much of my life, which led me to pursue a PhD in blood pressure monitoring. This inspired me to found Philia Labs, where we develop wearable technology to help others manage stress according to their needs.

Alexander

Senior

Chief Product Officer and co-founder

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.

Lee Yin

Loke

Chief Marketing Officer

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.

Data

Engineer

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.

Emma

Goodall, PhD

Strategic Advisor - Autism

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!

What Customers Say

"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."

-JG, female, 54, Australia

"I use the data to pinpoint when my child is getting stressed. It lets me know what support she needs and when."

-MG, female, mother of 2

Science

  • 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.

  • 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.

Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some more details about PhiliaHealth. Contact us at sales@philialabs dot com dot au if you cannot find your answers here.

What is the founders' motivation to create PhiliaHealth?

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.

What is the research behind your product?

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.

Are there any advocacy organisations that have endorsed PhiliaHealth?

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.

What biometrics are collected and why did you choose these?

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.

In the future, the normal price will be $349, which is inclusive of GST, and there is a separate shipping cost.

Is PhiliaHealth reimbursable by the Australian NDIS?

PhiliaHealth has already been reimbursed by NDIS for both self-managed and plan-managed participants as a low-cost assistive technology, making it more accessible for those using NDIS funding.

Philia Labs plans to become an NDIS-approved vendor, which will make reimbursement even easier. We’ll announce this as soon as it happens.

How do I buy the device?

Once you have decided to purchase, you can request an invoice by filling this form.

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.

Can the wearable tell the time?

No, this is not a watch or smartwatch. It is a device that collects and processes high-quality biometrics.

Who sees my data?

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.

What is the battery life like? How long does it take to charge?

For nightly use only, it can last roughly 5 nights. 
For continuous use, roughly two days.
Charging takes approximately 30 minutes.

How easy is it to take the wearable on and off?

The nylon strap is velcro-fastened, while the silicone strap is a regular watch strap.

How robust are the wearables?

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.

Are the wearables waterproof?

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!)

What strap options are there?

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.

Can you export the data into e.g. Excel?

Data can be exported as csv from a web app.

Can the wearable send an alert (e.g. if the wearer’s HR is spiking, to indicate that the wearer is going into a heightened state)/ can you get live readings.

Currently no, but it is on our roadmap

What does the wearable come with?

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!
