About Us
Our Story
PEMF technology has existed for more than 60 years and has been clinically proven in over 10,000 studies to be effective. Typically used in clinical settings, our engineers, researchers and scientists uncovered an opportunity to miniaturize the technology and create a portable, wearable and shareable device. Developed in Australia and designed and manufactured in the United States, the Oska Pulse was born.
Who Is Oska?
Our name honors a koala who was badly burned in an Australian bushfire. He was not responding to medication and was crying in pain. The vet's friend suggested they place a PEMF device near the koala to help reduce the pain. Within a day he stopped crying, and in just a few days he started responding to treatment. He was released into the bush a few months later. The vet called him "Oscar" and we chose "Oska" because Americans and Australians say it the same way!

Michael Hawker
CEO and Technical Director Medic Technology International Pty Ltd Perth, Western Australia
Michael’s interest in biology was aroused at the age of 14 when his science teacher connected a battery across a frog’s leg…. and it moved! However, his passion for anything electrical lead him into a 60-year electronics career in retail, wholesale, and manufacturing. Since being introduced to PEMF technology 16 years ago, Michael has devoted his time to studying neurophysiology and cellular biology, with a particular interest in the body’s response to electromagnetic fields; this resulted in his development of the Oska Pulse. With so many positive outcomes, Michael’s passion is to see further development of the Oska Pulse, not only for individuals but for the health and medical industry - worldwide.
