A Message from the KHIO Team: Where We’ve Been and What Comes Next
To our community, friends, supporters, and early adopters,
Whether you’ve been following KHIO from the very beginning or are just now discovering us, we want to take a moment to share where we are in our journey.
The idea behind KHIO began with a simple problem: finding fast, drug-free relief for headaches, migraines, and moments of tension. Our "super cool" idea has evolved into something real, something we’ve poured our time, energy, and passion into designing, testing, and improving.
Here’s a look at what’s been happening behind the scenes:
• We've completed multiple rounds of 3D printing and electronics prototyping, refining every detail of the device to ensure comfort, portability, and effective cooling.
• We've worked with testers across use cases, from migraine sufferers to athletes to everyday headache users, gathering feedback and making real improvements based on what people need most.
• We finalized our commercial packaging, user instructions and product design for retail readiness.
• Our contract manufacturing partner has been solidified, and tooling has been finalized for full scale production.
What we are doing:
• We are working with strategic distribution partners for future launch in FDM retail
• Our firmware team is resolving a few minor interaction bugs to ensure that KHIO delivers the smoothest and most intuitive user experience possible.
• Our app development team is building out app functionality to support custom cooling controls and session tracking.
• We're actively navigating the ongoing shifts in global tariffs to ensure that we can keep our manufacturing and delivery costs within our original expectations.
What's next?
Now, we’re preparing for the next phase: launching our Kickstarter campaign to fund our first production run!
This campaign will allow us to open up pre-orders and raise the capital we need to increase the volumes on our initial manufacturing order. It’s the final step in turning years of development into a real product that people can finally hold in their hands and get soothing, dialed in relief from stubborn headache pain.
Our goal is to complete the final bug fixes, finalize mobile app features, and set pricing expectations before we launch. Once that is complete, we’ll be ready to officially open the campaign.
If you’ve been waiting, watching, or wondering when KHIO will be available, this is your moment to get involved!
