Introducing the Coronet

The ABC story showed photos of Ron Brown and me.

On the right hand side of the picture, you can see an Eliza bucket light hat, like the one Max Burr now uses.

In the middle you can see what look like coronets. Which is what we call the light device we have designed. It doesn’t have jewels on the outside, but it has fabulous pulsing individual LED lights, all controlled by sophisticated firmware.

Ron is an electronics engineer and he the genius behind this astonishing design.

  1. It is very lightweight – around 125g.
  2. It can be quickly set up to fit different head shapes, large and small.
  3. Each of the eight legs has two rows of individual LED lights, one is 670nm and the other 810nm.
  4. The Coronet has special firmware that allows us to modify key parameters:
    power – pulse rate – timing – location of the light on the head
  5. It also comes with an app for android phones only (sorry, iOS users), which allows the user to pause and resume a session  –  see how long here is to go before the session finishes  –  see the technical details of what the device is doing while you wear it   –  monitor your own progress using a tremor-test and reaction test.

For Parkinson’s disease, we ensure the settings we think will work the best, based on what the research is currently indicating, for example:

  • pulsed light is far more effective than continuous red light.
  • 670nm followed immediately by 810nm works better than either alone or both together

We might be biased, but we believe the Coronet to be the most sophisticated light device available now for people with PD to try.

We have nearly sold out our first batch but will be ordering more.

Talking to your doctor

This ABC story is generating interest in red lights and Parkinson’s disease.

You might want to discuss red lights with your doctor.

If you take in a copy of the ABC story, your doctor will most likely inwardly sigh and tell you not to believe everything you read.

Here’s a better idea – give your doctor original research articles!

Here’s how to do that:

Blind your doctor with science – it’s the kind thing to do…

Here’s how to do that:

    Please read this earlier blog post about how to help your doctor
    Download and print the medical journal article article on that post. This article is by Prof John Mitrofanis and is a fabulous summary of red lights effect on brain cells.
    Please read a 2018 blog post about a new journal article. This article describes the Tasmanian case studies mentioned in the ABC story.
    Download and print this medical journal article as well.
    Take both articles to your doctor.
