Show Notes:

  • Sarah worked for local news stations for more than 20 years.
  • She has always been interested in technology.
  • In her time on local news, she covered veterans a lot.
  • With Healium she gets to report on the good.
  • Now she is a Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) storyteller.
  • The habit that has led to success in Sarah Hill’s life has been prayer.
    • Prayer is the world’s greatest wireless connection.
    • It creates real change.
  • Some veterans are not able to travel to see their memorials due to their health.  So, through VR and XR they brought the memorials to them.
  • Story Up is an XR company which means that it is an Extended Reality company.
    • They offer both VR and AR.
    • VR is simply 360-degree video that you see within a headset. You don’t see the real world at all.
    • AR you see the real world but there are images superimposed over what you normally see.
  • Healium reduces self-reported anxiety in some moderate anxiety patients but is not a replacement for medication.
    • It is a health and wellness self-awareness tool.
    • In the kit you get:
      • VR goggles
      • A tiny, brain-sensing headband
        • This measures your Gamma Asymmetry and Alpha activity.
    • They upload new experiences every 60 days.

      • One veteran was able to raise his arms which his caretaker never thought was possible.

  • All the “Nos” that they get:
    • They typically get about 2 a day and she posts them on her fridge.
    • They have gotten about 65 no’s in the last 4 months.
