The HiPatch Story: From Concept to US Market Leader

In 2019, Maria Nielsen and Tom van der Berg were successful healthcare consultants based in NY, but both were battling the same problem affecting their productivity: chronic sleep deprivation. After exhausting traditional solutions—from prescription medications to natural supplements—they began looking for a better approach.

The breakthrough came during a routine business meeting.

Why hasn't anyone applied this proven technology to sleep support?"

That single question became the foundation of HiPatch.
