A 30+ Year Journey Begins
In 1992, Richard Hanbury was forced to crash his jeep off a bridge in Yemen. He was pronounced clinically dead for 8 minutes and then in a coma for 6 weeks. After waking up, he spent the next 14 months in the hospital.
The doctors gave Richard five years to live due to the extreme chronic nerve damage pain. After a lightbulb moment while watching a film in hospital, he began the journey to save his life. To produce the most lasting pain relief, he experimented with the different neuromodulation patterns and bio-metric sensors which normalized how his brain processed pain signals.
The earliest prototype removed all of his nerve damage pain, and he has been pain-free since 1993. Richard tested his technology with the British Special Air Service, U.S. Air Force, Richard Branson Virgin Challenger flights, and the first Solar Impulse flight around the world – and then in 2016 started Sana Health to graduate that early anecdotal data into large scale clinical trials, as the next step in getting the device into the hands of those who really need it.
