Xconomy: In Mental Health Therapy, Cautious Steps Toward the Pharmacodigital
Summary
In Mental Health Therapy, Cautious Steps Toward the Pharmacodigital (Page 2 of 3) has been through about half a dozen randomized controlled trials across groups of people struggling with various addictions.Pear is licensing the program—known by its acronym TES—from a small business affiliated with Lisa Marsch, director of the Center for Technology and Behavioral Health at Dartmouth College.“It stabilizes the brain chemistry and controls cravings, but using it alone, you don’t learn anything.” The idea for all of Pear’s products is to put an access code right on the pill bottle or package.In the 30 minutes of waiting, or more, McCann imagines the patient using digital content on a smart phone as “a bridge to the [drug’s] onset,” with deep breathing and meditation exercises that are clinically validated.The PTSD product will be based on a virtual reality immersion called Bravemind, developed at the University of Southern California’s Institute for Creative Technologies.
