Meet the FluxWear Founders - Kamran and Nadia

---

Kamran Ansari created the company and its hero product, SHIFT, in 2020. Kamran began developing SHIFT’s core technology three years earlier to help his sister, Nadia, reduce her pain after she was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease that caused her severe chronic pain.  Kamran designed SHIFT to make the immense health benefits of PEMF accessible to a large portion of the population in a user-friendly, comfortable, portable, and rapid manner.  

As CEO, Kamran is responsible for the management and execution of company strategy, manufacturing, and technical development at FluxWear. Kamran is a two-time recipient of the Beckman-Chapman Young Scientist Award for his research in pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, a member of John Hopkin’s Study of Exceptional Talent (SET), and a 2020-2022 World Science Scholar. He is an invited speaker on neuromodulation, most recently at the December 2021 Stanford School of Medicine AI + HealthOnline Conference.

  Nadia Ansari is the inspiration behind SHIFT’s groundbreaking technology. In 2017, Nadia was diagnosed with Guillain-Barre Syndrome which led to severe chronic pain. While doctors recommended various integrative therapies, she struggled to find a solution given the severe pain she was experiencing. Witnessing the challenges she faced, her brother, Kamran, created SHIFT, which has dramatically improved her quality of life since first using it. 

In 2020, Nadia was named as one of the Top 100 Most Influential People in Orange County by the OC Register and was inducted into the Gallery of National Young Inventors. She also created an award-winning documentary on chronic pain titled "The Invisible Condition." Nadia is a member of Creative Healing for Youth in Pain and co-chair of the Youth Council for the International Children's Advisory Network.
