The World’s Most Advanced Altitude-Simulation Technology

ACT engineers invented the very first oxygen-controlled altitude simulation system in 1995. Since then, we’ve been pushing the boundaries of innovation. We bring you more natural sleep, less hypoxic stress, and better energy throughout the day. All without interrupting your lifestyle, or impacting the beauty of your home.

History

ACT started in the mid 1990s. Universities asked ACT for altitude simulation for advancing the knowledge of altitude physiology. ACT has always stayed close to the scientific community. We attend medical conferences, and developing technology with the guidance of experts.

A Passion for Innovation

We’re reimagining ways to help you feel better at altitude. Since the beginning, this passion for innovation has been at the heart of everything we do. It’s made ACT the industry leader in mountain home oxygenation.

Becoming Altitude Simulation Pioneers

We’ve revolutionized altitude simulation and the prevention of altitude sickness. We engineered the world’s first oxygen-controlled altitude simulation system. ACT’s technology is the most advanced solution for medical research and mountain homes. ACT pioneered the use of ceramic sensors, barometric pressure compensation, and advanced altitude simulation algorithms. We continue to pave the way as a leader in scientific instruments and their application to better health in homes.
