Problem
People with situational anxieties, such as fear of flying, often lack safe, repeatable ways to confront their triggers, leading to avoidance, heightened stress, and limited access to effective therapy.
Solution
ExpO Health offers an accessible virtual exposure platform that delivers gradual, immersive simulations of anxiety‑inducing scenarios. The system combines realistic 3D environments with integrated sensing technology to capture physiological responses, enabling objective progress tracking. Personalization algorithms adjust the exposure sequence to match each user’s tolerance, allowing at‑home practice through tools like FlydayFellows Practice™. By providing a controlled, repeatable exposure experience, the platform supports users in building coping skills without the need for in‑person sessions.
Target Audience
Primary users are individuals experiencing situational anxiety—particularly fear of flying—and mental‑health providers seeking a scalable, technology‑enabled exposure therapy tool.
Features
- High‑fidelity virtual environments that replicate real‑world situations difficult to recreate physically
- Integrated biosensing (e.g., heart rate, skin conductance) to monitor user responses during exposure
- Data‑driven personalization engine that tailors exposure intensity and pacing to individual progress
- At‑home practice application (FlydayFellows Practice™) focused on nervous flyers, with guided exposure modules
- Progress dashboards that visualize physiological trends and exposure milestones over time
