What is ExpandXR?
ExpandXR is a next-generation clinical platform that merges Augmented Reality (AR) with Artificial Intelligence to bring transformative therapy into the real world. By overlaying realistic digital characters and environments directly onto a patient’s field of vision, our technology creates a safe and controlled environment for patients to work through their social anxiety.
We know that there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution to therapy, which is why we developed an intuitive "controller" app. By using the "controller" app on their laptop or desktop, clinicians can monitor sessions and adjust environmental variables in real-time. This results in a highly customizable experience that evolves with the needs of every patient.
First Responders
Using ExpandXR first responders can safely face real-life avoided scenarios in a controlled, safe, virtual environment.
DoD Clinical Trial
We are conducting a clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of using ExpandXR for treatment with the more traditional "prolonged exposure" approach.
