Getting Started with EVY LIGHT®

What to Expect: On Day 1, you will feel the comfort of having a new tool at your disposal. The EVY LIGHT® is non-invasive, easy to use, and designed to integrate seamlessly into daily life. Some users report feeling slightly jarred by the light initially; it’s okay to start slow—15 minutes at a time—and work up to longer sessions.

Dedicated Care Support: On or around Day 1, a member of our care team will schedule a setup session with you to help you get started with the device, answer any initial questions, and get the device connected to the internet. This ensures you’re confident about how to use EVY LIGHT® for maximum benefits.

Things to Know:

• The light may feel intense initially. If it feels jarring, ease into it with shorter 15-minute sessions, building up to the full hour over time.
• You or your loved one do not need to stare directly at the light for it to work effectively. It’s working if it is within arm’s distance (3ft) and within a 45-degree peripheral view.
• Real-world evidence shows users often go beyond the 1-hour minimum, enjoying greater improvements.
• Use the light earlier in the day to avoid any impact on sleep, although some users report deeper, more restful sleep when used at night.
• There are additional resources and capabilities available within the app. Must be connected to the internet

From EVY LIGHT® Users: “I started noticing subtle changes by the end of the first session. Renee seemed more present, more connected. It’s now a daily part of our morning ritual, and I can’t imagine our routine without it.” — Tara, Spousal Caregiver

What to Expect: By the end of Week 1, you might start to notice small improvements in behavior or mood. Some caregivers observe more social engagement and even better sleep patterns in their loved ones. These early changes can be subtle but meaningful.

Dedicated Care Support: At the end of Week 1, a follow-up call will ensure that you’re comfortable using EVY LIGHT®. Our care team will address any questions or concerns you have after your first week of use, helping you fine-tune your routine for the best possible results.

Things to Know:

• Keep the routine consistent. EVY LIGHT® works best when used daily.
• Monitor for improvements in mood, sleep, or engagement. After 7 days of consistent use, you will be invited to enroll in the 6-week impact assessment. Must be consistently connected to the internet.
• If sensitivity persists, consider using the light earlier in the day to avoid impacting sleep.

From EVY LIGHT® Users: “After a week, we noticed small, yet impactful changes—She started engaging in social activities more willingly and was more interested in our family dinners.” — Ron, Spousal Caregiver

What to Expect: By now, you should see noticeable improvements in sleep patterns, social interactions, and overall mood. These gradual shifts, while subtle, make a significant difference to the quality of life for both you and your loved one. Remember the goal of the therapy is to SLOW the disease progression, not reverse, cure, or prevent it.

Dedicated Care Support: At the one-month mark, our care team will reach out again for another check-in. We’ll discuss your loved one’s progress and provide guidance to ensure that you’re maximizing the benefits of EVY LIGHT®.

Things to Know:

• Consistency is crucial. If your loved one seems more engaged or alert, continue with the regular daily sessions.
• This therapy is a long-term commitment. Skipping days can lead to regression in improvements.

From EVY LIGHT® Users: “We’ve gone beyond the 1-hour recommendation. It’s easy to use while having breakfast or doing other activities. Every day feels a little brighter, and Renee is more connected to the world around her.” — Jim, Spousal Caregiver

What to Expect: At this stage, you’ll likely observe even more significant shifts in your loved one’s overall behavior, mood, and sleep quality. The potential benefits of EVY LIGHT® extend beyond cognitive engagement; many users report a deeper connection with their loved ones.

Dedicated Care Support: At the three-month mark, another check-in with our care team will ensure that EVY LIGHT® is being used optimally and will allow us to discuss long-term benefits. We’ll be with you every step of the way, ensuring you have the support needed to continue this lifelong journey.

Things to Know:

• Stay committed to using EVY LIGHT® as part of your routine. Missing a few days can lead to a decline in progress.
• Use the app to track usage and improvements. At the 6-week mark, complete the impact assessment to get a clearer view of the benefits.

From EVY LIGHT® Users: “We’ve seen Renee become more interactive—she even remembers details like our plans for the day. It’s made our days together more meaningful and less burdened by her apathy.” — Tara, Spousal Caregiver
