Nura is an innovative light therapy system that adjusts to your lifestyle, bringing you light to treat seasonal depression when and where you need it the most. Nura was developed in partnership with Lighting Science, whose patented blue-light spectrum technology was originally developed to help astronauts on the ISS regulate their circadian rhythm. This spectrum of light maximizes biological impact, helping to regulate your circadian rhythm to fight Seasonal Affective Disorder. Using Nura, you can discover the light therapy solution that works best for you. Each Nura set comes with four devices, allowing you to place each unit where you need it when it comes time for your light session. The Nura app reminds you when it’s time for therapy, and illuminates as your session begins. Once you’ve set up your Nura system, no more user input is required!

Seamless, empathetic light therapy? That’s Nura.
