Bone Health Technologies (BHT) has opened pre-orders for Osteoboost, the first FDA-cleared wearable medical device designed to treat osteopenia, a condition affecting millions at risk of fractures.

The device is a non-invasive, non-drug treatment option for postmenopausal women with low bone density. Priced at $995 during the pre-order phase (compared to a $1,500 list price), Osteoboost is expected to ship in 60–90 days.

Osteoboost uses precision vibration therapy to target the hips and spine—areas most susceptible to osteoporotic fractures. The device’s patented technology dynamically calibrates vibration frequency and amplitude to slow bone density loss and enhance bone strength.

Clinical trials demonstrated significant efficacy, reducing spine bone density loss by 85% and bone strength reduction by 83%. Participants in the trials praised the device for its ease of use and comfort, integrating it seamlessly into daily activities.

The innovation stems from rigorous research led by Dr. Michael Jaasma, Chief Scientific Officer at BHT, who focused on the effects of mechanical stimulation on bone cells. The device mimics the benefits of high-impact exercise, leveraging vibration therapy to stimulate bone regeneration. Experts like Dr. Yevgeniya Kushchayeva, an endocrinologist specializing in bone density therapies, highlight Osteoboost’s potential, citing its foundation in proven bone science.

The release of Osteoboost marks a significant milestone for BHT, which has spent years navigating the FDA De Novo clearance process and conducting pivotal clinical trials. The company plans to accelerate production to meet high demand, as a Founder’s Program for early adopters has already sold out.

The device will begin shipping on a first-available basis in the next 2-3 months. Pre-ordering is available here.
