Addressing two high-cost populations through a shared pathway

Anxiety and chronic pain seem like different conditions requiring different interventions. But they share a common root: autonomic nervous system dysregulation. Our somatic approach addresses both through the same mechanism.

Behavioral Health Track

Anxiety, Depression & Stress

d = 1.44

Anxiety, our within-session data

g = 1.27

Depression, 18 published RCTs

The anxiety figure is our own real-world data from 16.6 million rated sessions. The depression figure is independent and peer-reviewed—a meta-analysis of eighteen randomized trials (Seok & Kim, 2024, Journal of Clinical Medicine). Our transdiagnostic analysis has no depression cluster, so we cite the published literature rather than stretching our own.

RCT gains held at follow-up

By addressing pain catastrophizing and central sensitization, we provide a non-pharmacological option members can reach for during an acute episode—at any hour, including the ones when the alternatives are an emergency department or a pill. In a 147-patient randomized trial, gains held at six months (Stapleton et al., 2025, European Journal of Pain).

Most mental health spending goes to what happens after escalation

ER visits, hospitalizations, emergency interventions. The system is built to respond after a crisis, not to prevent one. We fill the gap where those crises form.

We're not replacing any part of the care continuum—we're adding the layer that prevents crises in the first place.

🚨

Reduce ER Utilization

When someone has a panic attack at 3am, the only option is often the ER. We provide an evidence-based alternative that resolves acute distress before it becomes a crisis.

A Non-Drug Option for Acute Pain

In a 147-patient randomized trial, a self-paced tapping program cut pain severity and interference against waitlist, and the gains held at six months (Stapleton et al., 2025). Every flare a member handles this way is one that did not need a pill.

Caregiver Retention

When informal caregivers burn out, the system inherits a patient. Supporting the 63 million Americans now serving as family caregivers prevents downstream costs.

24/7 Availability

No appointments. No waitlists. No office hours. Available instantly, exactly when members need it—including the moments when nothing else is accessible.

Measurable Outcomes

Every session generates data. Track engagement, symptom improvement, and utilization across your population with real-time analytics.

Complementary to Existing Care

We work alongside your existing mental health benefits—extending the reach of therapy, filling gaps in coverage, improving outcomes across the board.

High-cost, underserved populations

Our intervention is particularly effective for populations that drive disproportionate costs and have few alternatives.

63M

Americans serving as family caregivers

Informal Caregivers

Caregivers carry heavy anxiety and depression burdens, and they can't leave their responsibilities to access traditional care. When they burn out, the system inherits their care recipient as a patient.

A caregiver's distress spikes at unpredictable hours, in the middle of their duties—exactly the use case a self-administered, in-the-moment intervention was built for.

"For the first time I felt heard, validated. I seem to swing from feeling resentful to feeling guilty for feeling that way. You have no idea how much this has helped me."
— Jennifer, Caregiver
A 10-15 minute smartphone intervention may be the only delivery mechanism that can reach this population at scale.

50M

Americans with chronic pain

Chronic Pain Patients

Pain management is in crisis—opioid risks are well-documented, but alternatives are limited. Our pain outcomes (d = 1.21 within-session, with randomized-trial gains held at six months) offer a meaningful non-pharmacological option for acute pain episodes.

The intervention's availability during middle-of-night pain flares addresses a critical gap when medication is the only alternative.

"Never really thought being pain free was a real possibility for me. I have many injuries, arthritis, steel plate and screws in my neck and have been seeing a pain management specialist for decades. I am amazed that I have been pain free since day 3."
— Andrea, 5-Day Pain Relief Challenge
An on-demand option that works during acute pain episodes—including the middle-of-night flares when a pill is otherwise the only thing within reach.

Medicare beneficiaries

Medicare Populations

Older adults face unique barriers to mental health care—mobility limitations, stigma, shortage of geriatric psychiatrists. Digital delivery removes these barriers while providing evidence-based intervention.

Our platform is designed for accessibility across age groups, with simple interfaces and guided audio that doesn't require digital sophistication.

"Sad at how long I didn't know this — 70 years."
— App member, one of the first people through the NeuroTap program
Anxiety, chronic pain, and sleep disturbance are highly prevalent in Medicare populations—exactly where our evidence is strongest. NeuroTap launches under the CMS ACCESS Model, at $0 out of pocket for eligible Original Medicare beneficiaries.

The evidence advantage

Most digital mental health tools launch with a single pilot study. We have nearly two decades of continuous platform delivery—and an analyzed cohort of 16.6 million rated sessions showing consistent outcomes across eleven domains of distress. Manuscript under peer review; full results held for publication.
