In 2018, OSRAM, a global pioneer in lighting technology, set its sights on a new horizon. The company began developing a wearable device that could unlock new opportunities in the booming healthcare market. Here’s why OSRAM chose ESCATEC as their design and build partner.


 

The German Ski Association (DSV) had initially approached OSRAM to help with light therapy solutions after identifying how their athletes’ circadian rhythms were disrupted in late-night events.

 

This idea sparked the concept of Chronogy® Eyewear - smart glasses designed to deliver biologically optimised light to the wearer. This was a product that had applications beyond athletics, as a healthcare solution for treating jetlag, insomnia and other sleep disorders.
