About NHBOT

NUMA was founded in 2019, born from our personal struggles and unwavering commitment to setting the highest medical standards in hyperbaric medicine. From the very beginning, we were inspired by the wealth of high-quality research supporting the established indications of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). However, as we explored further, we encountered a significant challenge—while information on well-recognised applications was readily available, finding comprehensive, evidence-based research on emerging uses of HBOT was far more difficult.

As NUMA’s reputation grew, so did the number of questions we received. Medical colleagues and patients alike reached out, eager to understand whether HBOT could help in specific cases. Clinicians wanted clear guidance on its applications, while patients sought science-backed evidence on its relevance to their conditions. Our phones never stopped ringing. It became evident that a critical gap existed—a lack of accessible, well-organised knowledge about HBOT. This was a gap we knew had to be filled.

This realisation led to NHBOT, an AI-powered Knowledge Assistant designed to provide clear, concise, and research-backed answers about HBOT.

NHBOT is an AI-powered Knowledge Assistant designed to provide clear, concise, and research-backed answers about Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT).

Despite its well-established efficacy in treating various conditions, HBOT remains widely underutilised due to misconceptions and limited awareness—both among healthcare professionals and the general public. This knowledge gap often results in delayed referrals, missed treatment opportunities, and, ultimately, poorer patient outcomes. Our goal with NHBOT is twofold: to advocate for the appropriate use of HBOT where strong evidence supports its benefits and to provide clarity when HBOT is not an effective treatment, ensuring informed decision-making.

NHBOT is trained on the latest scientific research and is designed to offer accurate, up-to-date information on HBOT’s mechanisms, indications, and clinical applications. However, it is not a medical doctor and does not replace professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. If you have any health concerns, please consult your doctor. As a continuously evolving tool, NHBOT is still in training. If you don’t find an answer to your question, reach out to us—we’re always happy to help.

We are incredibly excited about this next chapter. NHBOT is more than just a tool; it represents our dedication to advancing hyperbaric medicine, closing knowledge gaps, and ensuring that more patients receive the timely, effective care they deserve. Thank you for being part of this journey with us. We look forward to shaping the future of HBOT—together.
