Freespira

Freespira is redefining how stress and anxiety disorders are treated with the launch of Freespira Sensor Technology v5 (FST5), our first device to integrate the sensor and display into one simple, seamless unit. This next‑generation platform reduces setup time, boosts reliability, and strengthens patient engagement across clinical and at‑home settings. “The launch of the FST5 reflects our commitment to continually improving the user experience, which ultimately improves patient adherence,” said Joe Perekupka, CEO of Freespira. The new platform also includes built-in Wi‑Fi and cellular connectivity with seamless switching, an important advancement for communities with limited or unreliable internet access. “By integrating the sensor and display into one device and expanding connectivity options, we’re making it easier than ever for patients to engage with our treatment, all without sacrificing the clinical precision providers and patients expect, ” says Simon Thomas, president of Freespira.

🧠 In a NEW article in MedCity News this week, our CEO, Joseph Perekupka, outlines why it is critical to expand the tools available to patients struggling with behavioral health issues, and why traditional coverage models are holding us back. While cardiology, orthopedics and other specialties have embraced technology, we still rely primarily on two tools in mental health: talk therapy and medication. While helpful, they alone aren’t meeting the moment or the need.   FDA-cleared digital treatments and physiologic devices are changing that, with proven results: 🔹Improved outcomes 🔹Higher engagement 🔹Lower costs It’s time for health plans to treat digital therapeutics as essential, not optional. Patients need more than appointments; they often need continuous support at home.   Read the full article to see why expanding coverage is key to the future of behavioral health: https://lnkd.in/guu8Gu55 #MentalHealth #DigitalHealth #BehavioralHealth #Teletherapy #DigitalTherapeutics #HealthTech #HealthcareInnovation #PatientAccess
