SONU by SoundHealth Named to TIME’s List of the Best Inventions of 2025

The FDA-approved wearable offers a drug-free, safe solution for treating nasal congestion and allergies.

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SoundHealth is proud to announce its SONU Band has been selected as one of TIME’s Best Inventions of 2025 in the Health & Wellness category. This recognition underscores SoundHealth’s promise to harness the power of artificial intelligence and medical science to improve respiratory health. SONU is an FDA-approved, drug-free wearable that uses acoustic therapy to relieve nasal congestion and help you breathe easier.

TIME revealed its annual list of the Best Inventions, which features 300 extraordinary innovations changing our lives. To compile this year's list, TIME solicited nominations from TIME editors and correspondents around the world, and through an online application process, paying special attention to growing fields—such as health care and AI. TIME then evaluated each contender on a number of key factors, including originality, efficacy, ambition, and impact.

“We are honored to be included among this year’s TIME Best Inventions,” said Dr. Paramesh Gopi, founder and CEO of SoundHealth. “To be recognized for our work motivates us to further accelerate our mission to help people breathe better without the need for drugs or sprays.”

Clinically proven to be fast-acting and effective, over 80 percent of SONU patients reported improvement in their nasal symptoms. SONU represents a brand-new category of safe and rapid relief therapies for nasal congestion and spares patients from the side effects commonly associated with other treatment options.

SONU is easy, convenient and pleasant to use for patients. Using SoundHealth’s proprietary AI technology, the SONU app scans the patient's face using a smartphone and creates a digital map of their sinuses, calculating their optimal resonant frequencies. The band then uses acoustic vibrational energy to provide personalized relief, reducing swelling, opening nasal passages and draining healthy mucus.

Convenient, user-friendly and pleasant to use for patients, SONU is the only FDA-approved device equivalent to or better than the leading nasal steroid spray, calming down symptoms of allergies, inflammation and congestion.
