Founder Mirjana Prokic lives her life with love
Love for people, love for nature, love for everything alive. And a passion to succeed at all she wants to do. Mirjana was brought up in Serbia and studied psychology at Belgrade University before doing a Masters in Economics and International Diplomacy.
Working as a CMO for international companies took her around the globe, living with constant jet-lag, lower back pain and being sleep deprived. Despite a healthy diet, swimming and staying fit working out at the gym, nothing really helped.
So in 2017 she embarked on a journey to find a solution to help people align their bodies. A year later, the hangAIR Bionic Incliner and a unique wellness app, was born from her life-long passion to succeed. Mirjana describes her journey as a “true labour of love’.

“It has been some time now that various method to improve memory consolidation by entraining sleep rhythms have been investigated and several studies appear to offer support to the new methods, from non-invasive electrical, sounds to rocking stimulation. I personally believe that this area has a very high economic potential, and in that field hangAIR with their smart incliner might be well positioned to exploit the new field, with potential to help people with insomnia, sleeping disorders and those with memory issues.”

“I am very excited to be working with hangAIR. Since testing their first prototype back in 2019 I’ve been working closely with the designers to ensure that the benefits of the Alexander Technique are correctly transferred on to the hangAIR incliner to promote improved sleep, body posture, release of the pressure on the spine and good respiration.”

“When Mirjana presented hangAIR and the idea about how the technology will play its part in this mission to improve peoples lives, I was excited to have this opportunity to get involved, both because the product is very innovative, leveraging cutting edge advances across underpinning scientific disciplines, including neurophysiology, sleep studies, sensor technologies, and data science, and because I can greatly benefit as an end user, needing effective ways to de-stress and relax.”
