OSTEOPENIA AND OSTEOPOROSIS TREATMENT INNOVATION
A new way of thinking about an age-old problem
At Bone Health Technologies, we develop breakthrough solutions to help people defend against osteoporosis and osteopenia. Our mission is simple: to empower people to lead longer, stronger, and more active lives by safeguarding bone density from the effects of menopause, aging, cancer, and other degenerative causes of bone loss.
Our first holistic bone health solution, Osteoboost, is FDA-cleared to treat osteopenia in postemenopausal women and first devices are expected to ship in late 2024.
This journey is just beginning, and we’re happy you’re here.
