The device delivers a healthy dose of near-infrared light (NIR) – an essential part of sunlight that is absent in indoor light – to users over two to four hours while they work, study, game or browse the internet. View a short video about SunBooster here.

“SunBooster transforms screen time from an energy drain into something that supports well-being. It’s an ideal solution for anyone looking to invest in more energy, a better mood, and long-term wellness benefits for themselves or their team.”

SunBooster is now available for shipping across the US and can be purchased online at a recommended retail price of $249. It is available via the SunBooster website and on Amazon, and will also be available through tm:rw in New York City, starting at the end of July. The award-winning wellness device has earned numerous recognitions, including the 2025 TIME Best Inventions, the 2025 IFA Innovation Award for Best in Digital Healthcare, the CES 2026 Techlicious Editor’s Choice Award, and The Gadgeteer MWC 2026 Best of Show Award.

The growing challenge of modern indoor lifestyles.

All indoor lighting lacks NIR, an essential part of the solar spectrum that makes up 50% of sunlight. The average person spends 90% of their waking hours indoors, deprived of NIR light, which can lead to adverse health effects. As windows filter out NIR, even sunlight that passes through them cannot help address the growing global health issues caused by modern indoor lifestyles.

Scientific literature has shown a range of health and well-being benefits of NIR, including reduced fatigue. A 2023 double-blind clinical study at the University of Groningen found that SunLED’s patented NIR light technology enhances mood and energy, supporting overall wellbeing and vitality. SunBooster’s patented, scientifically validated technology creates photobiomodulation by exposing users to a targeted dose of near-infrared light – an essential component of sunlight that is missing from indoor lighting – over several hours during screen use.

“People in industrialized countries spend most of their waking hours indoors and up to seven hours a day looking at screens – away from sunlight. SunBooster turns that narrative around by transforming screen time from an energy drain into something that supports well-being,” said Dr. Anne Berends, CEO, CTO, and co-founder of SunLED Life Science. “It’s an ideal solution for anyone looking to invest in more energy, a better mood, and long-term wellness benefits for themselves or their team.”

Developed by SunLED Life Science after seven years of research and development, SunBooster is the first NIR device to bring the systemic health benefits of sunlight indoors and make them accessible, allowing people to effortlessly integrate it into their workspace and daily routine.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is SunBooster?
A: SunBooster is a near-infrared (NIR) light device that clips onto any laptop or monitor display and delivers a dose of 850nm near-infrared light while people work, game or browse. SunBooster is the first NIR device built specifically to bring the systemic health benefits of sunlight indoors without requiring a dedicated session in front of a lamp.

Q: Who is SunBooster designed for?
A: SunBooster is designed for people who spend long hours at a screen, for example, remote and hybrid knowledge workers, students, gamers, and employers building corporate wellness programs. SunBooster is sold directly to consumers and offered as an enterprise product, with bulk pricing available for corporate wellness programs.

Q: How do you use SunBooster, and how long per day?
A: You clip SunBooster onto any monitor or laptop screen (or place it on the table nearby), positioned so the LEDs point at your chin from the front or side, and stay within 30 to 80 cm of the device. Used for 2 to 4 hours a day, 5 days a week, most people notice a difference

Q: How is SunBooster different from other light therapy or wellness gadgets?
A: Most light therapy devices, such as daylight lamps, red-light panels and UV masks, require users to sit in front of them for a set session. SunBooster runs silently in the background during normal screen time, using narrow-beam optics to deliver near-infrared light while people work. SunBooster’s near-infrared wavelength (850nm) also penetrates more deeply than red light or visible daylight, and its effects are backed by an independent double-blind study rather than category-level wellness claims.

A: SunBooster retails for $249 in the U.S., €199 in Europe and 199£ in the UK, and includes the SunBooster device and a USB-C cable. It draws up to 4.5 watts, weighs 120 grams, and connects via standard USB-C power. Enterprise and bulk pricing are available for employers purchasing SunBooster for corporate wellness programs.

Q: Is SunBooster backed by science or clinical studies?
A: Yes. SunBooster’s near-infrared technology has scientifically demonstrated health benefits, as established in an independent double-blind, placebo-controlled study conducted at the University of Groningen and another at Maastricht University. The Groningen study found improved mood and focus after continued use.

Q: Is SunBooster safe to use?
A: Yes — SunBooster’s near-infrared light has been demonstrated to be safe for daily use, even across multiple sessions throughout the day, with no risk of overexposure.

Q: What is the technology behind SunBooster, and where does it come from?
A: SunBooster runs on SunLED Life Science’s patented near-infrared LED technology, developed over more than seven years of R&D by SunLED’s Amsterdam-based team. SunLED licenses the same core NIR technology to OEM partners for integration into screens, automotive dashboards, and general lighting. SunBooster is SunLED’s first direct-to-consumer application of its technology.

Q: Is SunBooster a medical device?
A: SunBooster is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition. SunBooster’s effects on mood, energy, and general well-being are described strictly in the context of independent scientific research and user-reported experiences, not as medical claims.

FTC Resolution Preserves Redfin’s Zillow Rental Partnership and Clears the Way for Company’s Standalone Rentals Business

Published

on

By

Redfin will continue to receive Zillow’s multifamily listings and payments for leads through at least 2030 while building its own rentals advertising business

SEATTLE, Aug. 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Redfin, part of Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT), today announced a resolution with the Federal Trade Commission and five states. The litigation concerns a multifamily rental listing syndication agreement Redfin entered into with Zillow in February 2025. The agreement predates Rocket’s acquisition of Redfin. The proposed order, which is subject to court approval, is a major victory for Redfin, renters and the housing providers who serve them.

The syndication partnership between Redfin and Zillow remains in place through at least 2030. Redfin will continue to receive the multifamily listings provided by Zillow, and Zillow will continue to pay Redfin for renter leads generated through Redfin’s sites. Redfin will also retain the $100 million it received under the original agreement.  Renters searching on Redfin, Rent.com and ApartmentGuide.com will continue to have access to the multifamily inventory available through the partnership.

The resolution also removes restrictions on Redfin’s ability to compete directly with Zillow for multifamily advertising customers, build its own relationships with housing providers and generate leads through its own offering.

“This is a massive win for Redfin,” said Aaron Emerson, Chief Communications Officer for Rocket Companies. “We keep the listings, leads and economics that make this business work today, and we gain the ability to compete directly for multifamily advertisers.  For millions of people, renting is the first step toward homeownership and helping them move from a first apartment to a first home is exactly what we’re built to do.”

About Redfin 

Redfin is a technology-driven real estate company with the country’s most-visited real estate brokerage website. As part of Rocket Companies (NYSE: RKT), Redfin is creating an integrated homeownership platform from search to close to make the dream of homeownership more affordable and accessible for everyone.

Beyond AI code generation: Saigon Technology solves the scaling bottleneck for mid-sized tech teams

Published

on

By

SYDNEY, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As AI exponentially increases the volume of code generated by mid-sized technology teams, Saigon Technology, an AI-native software engineering partner, is deploying its integrated delivery system to solve the industry’s emerging scaling bottleneck. While engineers can now prototype features, write tests, and automate repetitive work faster than ever, many companies find their existing infrastructures struggling to keep pace with the accelerated output.

For Saigon Technology, the question is no longer simply how much more code AI can help a team produce, but whether the surrounding engineering framework can successfully scale to turn that capacity into reliable, production-ready software.

More Coding Capacity Does Not Mean More Engineering Capacity

AI coding assistants can increase development output, but engineering goes far beyond writing code. It also requires architecture, security, testing, infrastructure, reliability, integration, and production operations. AI can accelerate these tasks, but it does not automatically create the systems and standards needed to connect them.

Consider two approaches: Company A, with 10 engineers using AI coding assistants, and Company B, with AI embedded in an integrated engineering system covering reusable components, automated QA, DevOps, security, and architecture practices.

“Company A may produce more code as AI becomes embedded across its workflow. The software may still work well. But as output scales, there can also be more code to review, integrate, secure, test, and maintain,” said Phong Le, AI Tech Lead at Saigon Technology. “The issue is therefore whether the engineering system can turn additional coding capacity into scalable delivery.”

A Lesson From The Digital Transformation Era

The pattern is familiar with earlier technology shifts.

Cloud platforms, automation, and digital systems created significant new capabilities. But without supporting processes, governance, and operating models, organizations could also end up with fragmented systems, duplicated capabilities, and greater complexity.

AI-assisted development may create a similar challenge inside software engineering.

Why an AI-Native Engineering System Matters

This is where Saigon Technology’s AI-native engineering system comes in. The model is connecting engineers and AI with the systems required to deliver software across the full lifecycle.

That includes:

AI-assisted development: accelerating implementation and repetitive technical workReusable components and patterns: reducing duplicated effort and improving consistencyAutomated QA and testing: validating a larger volume of AI-assisted outputDevOps and CI/CD: keeping higher development velocity manageable in deliverySecurity and architecture practices: maintaining consistency across AI-assisted decisionsCloud and production operations: supporting software beyond development

The value is the combination of people, AI, engineering standards, automation, and accumulated delivery experience working as one system.

What This Means for Established Technology Teams

A company may already have a capable CTO and engineering organization. The challenge may instead be balancing modernization with new product development, expanding an AI initiative while maintaining core platforms, or increasing delivery volume without growing the internal organization at the same pace.

In these situations, an external engineering partner can add more than developers. It can bring an established delivery system that complements the capabilities already inside the business.

This is the model Saigon Technology is applying as AI reshapes software delivery: using AI to expand coding capacity while connecting that capacity to the engineering practices required for reliable, scalable production delivery.

With 14+ years of software engineering experience, 400+ engineers, and 850+ projects delivered across industries, Saigon Technology is applying its AI-native engineering approach to help established technology teams expand what they can deliver without rebuilding their engineering operation from the ground up.
