What Dayhouse Health builds

Our evidence-informed approach combines biophilic design, behavioral science, environmental health, and digital health technology. The platform applies Home Reveal assessment, a Home Score baseline, and a Blueprint under the Healing at Home Method — paced for real homes and real lives.

  • Home Reveal — structured look at light, air, sound, sleep, scent, and space
  • Home Score — evidence-informed baseline of how the home loads the nervous system
  • Blueprint — personalized path of small, prioritized changes
  • Healing at Home — guided founding program for people living with migraine

Initial focus is migraine, with planned expansion into other difficult-to-treat chronic conditions. Nothing here diagnoses, treats, or cures disease; Dayhouse Health sits alongside clinical care.

Evidence basis (peer-reviewed): Healthy Dwelling and Therapeutic Home Environment — complementary to medical care, not a substitute.

Our evidence-informed approach combines biophilic design, behavioral science, environmental health, and digital health technology — including patent-pending e-commerce integrated with AI-enabled guidance.

Dayhouse Health is pioneering the therapeutic home environment as a new category in chronic care.

Our initial focus is migraine, with expansion plans into chronic pain, anxiety, depression, insomnia, and other difficult-to-treat conditions.

Why we exist

Care happens in clinics. Living happens at home.

Most chronic-disease care happens in the clinic and the pharmacy. But people spend roughly 18 hours a day at home — and the home, with its light, air, noise, materials, and layout, exerts a continuous neurological load that mainstream medicine rarely measures or modifies.
