Problem
People with obsessive‑compulsive disorder often experience sudden spikes of intrusive thoughts outside of therapy sessions, leaving them without immediate guidance to manage symptoms. Traditional therapy provides limited support confined to scheduled appointments, creating gaps in care during critical moments.

Users can access personalized tools on demand, enabling them to apply ERP techniques during spikes at any time of day.
