Quick Take
A social media post claims that Aires Tech’s Lifetune Device can reduce EMF radiation and its health effects. Our fact check shows this is mostly false.
The Claim
According to a Facebook post, the Lifetune Device protects against harmful EMF radiation, leading to better sleep, less stress, and enhanced focus. It also wrongly claims that the World Health Organization (WHO) classifies EMF as a carcinogen linked to cancer.
Fact Check
Does EMF radiation from everyday devices directly cause cancer?
No, this is not true. The post misinterprets the WHO’s classification. The WHO categorises radiofrequency EMF as “possibly carcinogenic to humans” (Group 2B), meaning limited evidence exists, but there is no confirmed direct link to cancer. Some studies suggest a possible association between mobile phone use and brain tumours, but major health organisations, including the WHO and the National Cancer Institute, state that current evidence does not support claims that EMF from devices causes cancer.
To understand this better, we spoke to Dr Pooja Khullar, Radiation Oncologist at Dharamshila Narayana Super Speciality Hospital. She explains, “Mobile phones emit low-energy radiofrequency radiation, which is too weak to damage DNA. Older phones (2G, 3G, 4G) use frequencies between 0.7–2.7 GHz, while 5G can go up to 80 GHz. However, this radiation is far weaker than harmful types like X-rays, which can increase cancer risk. So far, research has found no link between mobile phone use and cancer.”
Similarly, another post claims keeping a mobile phone near your pillow can cause death due to harmful radiation affecting the brain. But this is false.
Can the Lifetune Device reduce EMF radiation or its effects?
Unlikely. Aires Tech claims its device “neutralises” or “mitigates” EMF radiation using “patented technology,” but the exact mechanism is not explained. While the company refers to “peer-reviewed” and “clinically studied” research, there is little publicly available scientific evidence confirming the device reduces EMF exposure or provides health benefits. EMF protection devices often lack credible scientific validation.
Does the device improve sleep, reduce stress, or enhance focus?
No strong evidence supports this. The claimed benefits are anecdotal, with no established biological link between reducing low-level EMF and these improvements. Sleep quality, stress levels, and concentration depend on multiple factors, including lifestyle, mental health, and screen time. Some users may report benefits due to the placebo effect, but there is no independent clinical trial proving the Lifetune Device enhances well-being.
To understand whether digital devices pose real health risks, we consulted neurologists.
Dr Kunal Bahrani, Director and HOD of Neurology at Marengo Asia Hospitals, Faridabad, explains, “I understand why people worry, but mobile phone radiation isn’t a threat to brain health. Phones emit very low-level radiation, similar to Wi-Fi routers or microwaves—nowhere near strong enough to harm human tissue. The brain is well-protected, and research so far hasn’t found any link between mobile phone use and brain diseases. The real concern with phones is distraction, not radiation.”
Dr Sreenivas Meenakshisundaram, Consultant Neurologist at MGM Healthcare, Chennai, states, “People often worry about mobile phone radiation, but there’s no solid scientific proof that it harms the brain. The radiation from phones is very weak and doesn’t have the energy to damage brain cells. It’s not like the strong radiation used in medical scans or X-rays. Large studies over the years haven’t found any clear link between phone use and brain disorders. While it’s good to take breaks from screens for overall well-being, there’s no need to fear brain damage from your phone. However, using your phone before bed can disrupt sleep. The screen’s light affects the circadian rhythm, leading to poor sleep quality.”
Despite what experts say, people still spread misinformation—for example, the claim that mobile phones cause brain cancer due to 5G radiation. However, this is misleading.
Is Aires Tech’s claim of being “Patented | Peer-reviewed | Clinically Studied | Proven Solution” valid?
No, the claims about Aires’ technology can be potentially misleading. While the device is patented, a patent does not confirm scientific effectiveness—it only protects an invention. Terms like “peer-reviewed” and “clinically studied” suggest scientific credibility, but without published studies in well-respected medical journals, these claims remain unverified. The phrase “proven solution” implies strong evidence, which the available research does not provide.
During our investigation, we found one study, which we analysed:
The study does not prove that Lifetune products protect against the harmful effects of EMF. It only shows that a semiconductor wafer with a specific pattern can alter electromagnetic fields. However, this conclusion is based on computer simulations, not real-world tests on humans or living organisms. The study does not assess whether these changes make EMF safer or less harmful to health.
This is a significant limitation because there is no biological testing or clinical research to confirm that Aires’ technology reduces health risks. Without human studies or medical trials, the claim that Lifetune products make EMFs “less harmful” lacks strong scientific support.
Does the company’s UFC partnership or stock market listing validate its health claims?
No, it does not. Being an “Official Partner of UFC” is a commercial partnership and does not constitute a scientific or medical endorsement of the product’s health benefits. Similarly, being listed on stock exchanges (CSE and OTCQB) is related to the company’s financial status and trading, not the scientific validity of their product’s claims. These associations are marketing tactics used to enhance credibility and visibility but do not provide independent verification of the device’s effectiveness in protecting against EMF radiation or delivering health benefits.
Do we need protection from everyday EMF exposure?
Not really. According to the WHO and the US-EPA (Environmental Protection Agency), typical EMF exposure from phones and Wi-Fi routers is low-level and not a known health risk. A 2022 study reviewed over 100 studies on Wi-Fi radiation but found little research on children. It confirmed heating effects but found no clear evidence of other health risks. We still need more research, and there is no scientific consensus on the need for EMF shielding devices.
THIP Media Take
The claim that Aires Tech’s Lifetune Device can reduce EMF radiation and its health effects is mostly false. The WHO does not classify EMFs as directly causing cancer. No independent research confirms the device reduces EMF exposure or improves sleep, stress, or focus. Everyday EMF exposure from digital devices is considered safe within regulated limits. Consumers should rely on evidence-based information from reputable health organisations.
