XR Theraputics

Post-Treatment Companion App

Problem

XR Therapeutics use immersive technology to treat anxiety, phobias, and more.

Their treatments have been proven to be highly effective, but they needed a way to support patients post-treatment. They needed a companion app to help patients continue their therapeutic journey at home.

Solution

Before starting any development, we held several workshops with the team and focus groups of patients. We gathered insights on what features would be most beneficial, how the app should look and feel, and what content would be most engaging.

The app was developed for both iOS and Android, with accessibility and usability at the forefront of our mind. We continued to hold user workshops throughout the development process to ensure we were building what patients really needed.

The app now includes guided meditations, breathing exercises, and interactive scenarios that help patients manage their emotions and stress levels.

Results

Due to the user-focused development process, the app has been incredibly well-received by patients and has become a valuable tool in their ongoing treatment. The quotes below show how the app has helped patients manage their anxiety and emotions in real-world situations.

"Working with Throneware has been an incredibly positive experience from start to finish. Nothing was ever too much to ask, they were always responsive, proactive and genuinely committed to the project. They went above and beyond by actively participating in our co-design and co-production workshops with our end-users, helping us create something that is truly user led.

The app is already receiving excellent feedback and is making a real difference in people’s lives. Everything was delivered efficiently and to a high standard, I would highly recommend working with them."

"I wanted to pass on some wonderful news. I was out at the panto last night with the young person who accessed the XRT therapy specific to noise. She became very overwhelmed and I took her to sit next to me in a quieter area. I got out my phone and popped on the XRT app and went onto the meadow scene and this almost immediately started to calm her. She also used a few other parts of the apps. Once she was calmer I asked how she was and she said she felt much better."
XRT App User
“I supported a student who was experiencing dysregulation, which in the past has led to very challenging behaviour. The therapeutic app provided an opportunity for the student to self-regulate. Through a series of guided breathing and relaxation exercises, the app helped the student calm down, gain awareness of their emotions, and manage their response in a positive way. It was a powerful tool in supporting their emotional regulation and well-being.”
