PRESS RELEASE
FSU College of Medicine Professor James Olcese previously discovered that nightly release of melatonin is a cause of contractions in pregnant women. In effort to reduce preterm contractions in women, he developed a light-emitting sleep mask to inhibit the release of melatonin. The technology is marketed and developed by his organization KynderMed and is beginning a clinical study at the USF Health Morsani College of Medicine at the University of South Florida, and Tampa General Hospital.
