Problem
Patients with chronic conditions, such as fibromyalgia, often face challenges in accessing effective behavioral therapies due to limited availability of trained providers, lack of referral pathways, and high costs. Current FDA-approved medications for fibromyalgia have limited efficacy, significant adverse effects, and high discontinuation rates.
Solution
Swing Therapeutics offers Stanza, an FDA-cleared prescription digital therapeutic designed to help adult patients manage fibromyalgia symptoms. Stanza delivers Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), a form of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), directly to patients via a smartphone app. The program consists of 15-20 minute daily sessions, completed over 12 weeks, that teach self-management skills to cope with pain and prevent symptom flares. Stanza aims to improve psychological symptoms, decrease sleep interference, and increase overall well-being and quality of life without the side effects associated with medication.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes adult patients diagnosed with fibromyalgia and healthcare providers seeking effective, non-pharmacological treatment options to manage their patients' symptoms.
