Thank you for your interest. Currently we're not operating outside the U.S. because our shipping operations are limited, however, if you're very interested we'd be happy to send you a Testflight link to try. We've had a

Yes we went through a lot of testing in terms of design and UX to best optimize VR experiences for people with pain. In our designs we also have to be very cognizant of different triggers because we have a population of members who do have

Yes that’s essentially it. We calculate your target/ideal breathing rate and then have breathing guides during the session for you to follow. Then you’re able to see your heart rate graph in realtime and understand how it changes with

Thank you for this feedback because we are still trying to work out how to best present information on our website. Do you think the pricing should come up earlier on the homepage?

Right now we calculate something called Resonant Frequency Breathing Rate which is the unique breathing rate each person can breathe at to best optimize their Heart Rate Variability. We calculate this Breathing Rate through data derived fro

For many people this is relevant for chronic back pain originating from bad posture. Our clinical studies actually focus on chronic back pain. But of course, everyone's case is unique so I would say it's worth a try, but I'd

We have had Flowly members who have carpal tunnel, however our clinical studies did not focus on carpal tunnel. I would say this might be worth a try to learn how to regulate your nervous system to better manage the stress and pain from car

Not naive at all, distraction is definitely a recommended form of dealing with a lot of types of pain flare-ups. Our experiences are geared towards relaxation, but because our VR worlds are quite immersive, most of our members and study par

Thank you. The difference lies primarily with our Virtual Reality component and our price points. Our sessions are interactive and through them you’re learning tools and techniques to reduce pain, stress, and anxiety even outside of the ses

We are hoping to provide software-only packages as well however at the moment, most wearables actually don't provide the realtime peak-to-peak heart rate interval data required to do the type of closed loop biofeedback we do. Once wear

appreciate it and I can see how helpful VR could be for cerebral palsy patients.

This didn’t fit in with the above but dang said y’all might find this interesting: While developing VR experiences optimized for relaxation, we discovered different visual elements that most universally resonated across varying populations.
