Our mobile app reduces chronic pain for 100 million Americans.
Flowly’s mobile app is the VR version of Calm with a focus on reducing chronic pain for 100 million Americans. Flowly subscribers receive a $5 VR headset and Heart Rate sensor that collects a user's biometric data like HR and HRV, and converts it to visualizations in virtual experiences that reduce pain by 46%. Flowly is backed by the National Institutes of Health.
Flowly offers a virtual clinic that provides a 14-week, one-on-one, therapist-guided program for pain and anxiety management. The platform combines licensed therapy sessions with an app containing daily lessons and relaxation tools to empower patients to reduce nonstructural pain from home.
Patients begin with an assessment, then follow a tailored 14-week program delivered by a dedicated licensed therapist. The program includes weekly one-on-one sessions, neuroscience-informed education, and techniques to retrain the brain to reduce pain and anxiety signals, plus an app with daily lessons and a library of relaxation exercises for ongoing practice anywhere, anytime. The Flowly app supports the therapeutic work with on-demand tools and a curriculum designed to enhance emotional resilience and functional engagement.
Who it’s for: Individuals living with chronic nonstructural pain and anxiety seeking a science-backed, therapist-guided digital program, with insurance coverage options and home-based accessibility.
