PhysioCue is a medical device company that has developed an anti-hypertension medical device, clinically shown to immediately reduce the high blood pressure of hypertensive patients. This device is non-invasive and works by controlled cold therapy with the carotid artery baroreceptor reflex. Unlike drug treatments, our PhysioCue therapy device is efficient, safe, easy to use, non-invasive, and has none of the side effects associated with anti-hypertensive drugs. We also develop mobile Health device.

PhysioCue’s Mechanism of Action is the body’s natural baroreflexive system which provides important monitoring and feedback for blood flow throughout the body. It activates baroreceptors in the wall of the carotid artery which stimulate the afferent and efferent pathways of the automatic nervous system. To lower excessive blood pressure the brain responds by modulating efferent pathways, which relaxes the blood vessels, slows the heart rate and reduces fluid in the body. These actions reduce the afterload on the heart by decreasing arterial resistance, which improves the heart’s ability to pump blood to the tissues. The increase in parasympathetic tone and decrease in sympathetic drive results in the restoration of sympathetic-vagal balance which reduces excessive blood pressure and improves cardiac structure and function.
