Glow Therapeutics was founded by researchers, engineers and caregivers who witnessed firsthand the devastating impact of sundowning on families living with dementia.
Glow Therapeutics began with a shared heartbreak.
Among our founders are people who have sat beside parents and grandparents through long, disorienting evenings as their calm gave way to anxiety when daylight slipped away. We have lived the toll that sundowning takes — sleepless nights, frayed patience, and the quiet grief of watching someone you love feel lost in their own home. That experience, combined with our backgrounds in neuroscience, clinical care, and engineering, became the spark for something new.
The Problem We Saw
Each evening, millions of families brace for the same pattern. As the sun sets, agitation rises. Sleep becomes fragile, conversations fade, and exhaustion sets in. Sedatives and environmental adjustments can help for a while, but they rarely reach the root of the problem. Disrupted circadian rhythms leave both mind and body out of sync. Families told us they needed something gentler that could restore balance rather than mask distress.
The Breakthrough
Our team asked a simple but radical question — could light itself be medicine? Research in photobiology shows that certain wavelengths of light can realign the body's internal clock and calm neurological rhythms. We turned that insight into an at-home device that is gentle, non-invasive, and clinically grounded. It eases anxiety, confusion, improves sleep, and brings evenings back to peace.
Our Commitment
Glow exists for the families who open their doors to us and for the loved ones they are trying to keep at home. Every feature we design, every study we fund, and every partnership we form is guided by empathy and evidence in equal measure.
The Glow Future Fund
To carry that mission forward, we created the Glow Future Fund. It reinvests part of our proceeds into community programs, caregiver support, and new dementia research. The goal is to make sure that as Glow grows, the benefits grow too. More knowledge, more care, and more hope.
More Than Technology
Glow Therapeutics is about light as care, science as compassion, and giving families a few more peaceful evenings together.
Every feature, every interaction is designed with deep understanding of the caregiver and patient experience.
We build on rigorous science, validated clinical trials, and real measured outcomes.
We work closely with academia, dementia organisations, care facilities, experts and families to co-create features.
