SYDNEY, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- A clinical trial is being launched by researchers from UNSW and Neuroscience Research Australian (NeuRA) for a new app called ReNeuWell®, based on a scientifically validated measure of wellbeing.
The application has been designed in collaboration with a research team led by A/Professor Justine Gatt from UNSW's School of Psychology and NeuRA. It uses the COMPAS-W Wellbeing Scale - which measures both subjective and psychological wellbeing, a scale developed by A/Prof Justine Gatt and that has been validated in neuroscience. Miroma Project Factory, specialists in creating highly successful solutions delivering meaningful behaviour change including carefully applied gamification techniques. In developing the app and designing activities they ensured it complimented and supported the scientific research around activities.
"MPF have been working with Justine and her team for over five years to fulfil her life's body of work in the field of mental wellbeing and resilience. We are very proud to be working alongside UNSW and NeuRA to deliver a tool that accelerates and encourages wellbeing and resilience, especially after such a long period of prolonged stress for so many community members. It could not come at a better time. We look forward to watching this app deliver real change, and to continue working alongside the team to build community-enhancing solutions." Katherine Robinson, CEO.
The ReNeuWell® app allows for interactive participation and self-analysis through exercises, games, tasks, goals and activities. The use of questionnaires, action-based data tracking and self-monitoring also provides data capture and collection to facilitate the research being conducted in the field of 'resilience'. The goal of this app is to help accelerate and encourage wellbeing and resilience in participants.
"The app is designed for an average healthy adult looking for ways to understand and boost their own level of mental wellbeing. It provides information on where they sit on a wellbeing scale, along with a personalised program of activities to improve this over four-weekly time periods," A/Professor Justine Gatt said.
She explained: "Many apps in the mental health and wellbeing space aim to reduce symptoms in people living with diagnosed mental health disorders, which affects around 20 percent of the population. ReNeuWell® takes a different approach, focusing on the remaining 80 percent—those whose wellbeing may be declining and who could benefit from a boost towards flourishing."
She continued: "ReNeuWell® provides users with practical ways to improve their mental health and build resilience to adversity."

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 17, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- From January 6–8, 2026, Arspura, a premium smart home appliance brand focused on healthier kitchen air, presented its latest IQV™ innovations at CES 2026 and hosted a three-day brand program in Las Vegas. Centered on exclusive technology, respiratory wellness, and user experience, the program brought together experts, product leaders, and real customers to spotlight how better cooking environments can start with better indoor air management.
At the heart of Arspura's CES showcase was its proprietary IQV™ Dynamic Particulate Capture Technology, designed to capture cooking smoke, grease particles, and odor at the source—helping reduce the common "smoke escape" problem many households experience with traditional ventilation. Through live demonstrations and deep-dive sessions, Arspura emphasized a clear brand promise for modern kitchens: Cook freely, breathe freely.
To watch highlights from Arspura's CES 2026 showcase, visit:
Day 1: Uncovering the Kitchen's Invisible Health Threats
On the first day of CES 2026, Arspura kicked off its brand program with a keynote by Professor Francesca Dominici of the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health (Professor of Biostatistics & Data Science; Professor of Environmental Health).
Drawing on her research on air pollution and health, she highlighted the risks of fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and emphasized that even low-level exposure can make people sick. She noted that PM2.5 can be particularly hazardous for older adults, people with existing health conditions, and individuals with asthma, and stressed that preventing cooking-related PM2.5 from dispersing indoors and reducing exposure at the source is crucial for family health.
Reflecting on this message, Arspura underscored its commitment to helping more households—especially those with asthma or nasal sensitivities—cook with greater comfort by reducing smoke and odor irritation, so more people can truly cook freely and breathe freely.
Day 2: Redefining a New Standard for Smoke-Free Cooking
On the second day, Arspura's product manager led a technical session explaining how IQV™ airflow design works together with high-airspeed capture (up to 13 m/s) to deliver high capture performance with minimal smoke escape. The presentation framed Arspura's approach as more than a product: a combination of technology and daily usability designed to make healthy cooking feel effortless.
Arspura also welcomed a special on-site visit and interview from media figure Yang Lan, who explored the booth experience and shared positive feedback on IQV™ technology and the IQV Hood concept—particularly its relevance for people sensitive to cooking fumes who want a more comfortable kitchen environment.
Day 3: Bringing Healthy Kitchen Living Into Everyday Ease
Arspura closed out CES 2026 with strong momentum, earning five awards during the show. To cap the three-day program, the brand invited its first group of IQV Hood users for a face-to-face sharing session, paired with immersive, hands-on demonstrations. Through interactive experiences and practical use scenarios, attendees felt firsthand how the product can deliver "health protection" and "easy cleaning" simultaneously, translating the idea of a healthier kitchen into tangible everyday value.
Passionate home cooks also shared how they had previously tried multiple traditional range hoods yet still struggled with smoke escape and lingering odors, while Arspura's IQV™ performance provided noticeably improved smoke capture and deodorization—making cooking more enjoyable and inspiring friends and family to upgrade after seeing the results.
What's Next for Arspura
Backed by strong recognition at CES 2026 and reinforced by firsthand user stories, Arspura's IQV™ showcase signaled a growing shift toward kitchen ventilation solutions that prioritize both health and everyday usability. Building on this momentum, Arspura will continue to develop smarter, cleaner-air technologies for modern homes.
