Giving Teens with POTS the Tools to Understand What They're Feeling

Help Your Teen Feel Seen, Not Dismissed

Teens with chronic conditions like POTS are often told, “you’ll grow out of it.” But even after a diagnosis, many are left feeling frustrated and alone in managing daily symptoms. And with long COVID now surpassing asthma as the most common pediatric chronic condition in the U.S., more families than ever are navigating symptoms that feel invisible, unpredictable, and isolating. 

Lumia helps change that by turning vague symptoms into something you and your teen can see, understand, and respond to together.

Make the Invisible Visible with Real-Time Symptom Tracking

Lumia is a wearable device that tracks changes in blood flow based on posture, movement, and rest. By linking those changes to symptoms like dizziness and fatigue, it helps teens make sense of what their body is telling them and take action on their own terms. Originally designed for adults, Lumia also helps teens between 13 and 17 to recognize and express what they’re feeling.

With Lumia, your teen can:

• Gain clarity about patterns in energy, mood, and crashes

• See how their body reacts to daily activities like standing or resting

• Visualize what they’re feeling so it’s not dismissed as “just in their head”

Build Trust Through Shared Insights

The teen years are when self-expression begins to take shape, and kids start wanting to speak for themselves. But for teens living with POTS, that can be especially challenging. When symptoms like dizziness or fatigue are hard to explain, it’s only natural for parents to step in and try to manage it all. While that support is sometimes essential, it can unintentionally leave teens with less room to grow confident in learning to manage their body.

With real-time tracking and step-by-step guided modules, Lumia helps teens recognize their personal patterns, adjust routines, and manage symptoms more proactively. It offers a safe way for them to build autonomy, while still keeping parents connected and in the loop.

Important note: Each Lumia device is designed for one person and cannot be shared. Sharing between a parent and teen can disrupt symptom tracking. For the best experience, each user must have their own device and account.
