PHOBOS AR – Fernando M Tarnogol

Fitness Mania – PHOBOS AR is the first markerless augmented reality tool for mental health professionals and an app for people who suffer from specific phobias. PHOBOS was designed to complement cognitive-behavioral therapies relying on exposure. It can be used both as a treatment tool during session and as an at-home complement to therapy.

The BiSAR (Bilateral Stimulation and Assisted Reprocessing) module is based on J. Shapiro's EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) discovery and technique, complemented with the AR capabilities that iOS devices enable.

EMDR is prescribed for trauma victims, people suffering from PTSD and Autism among other conditions.

Active development and research is underway. Results of the validation paper undertaken jointly by PsyTech, UBA (University of Buenos Aires) and CONICET (National Council for Technical and Scientific Research) will be presented at the 49th International Meeting of the Society for Psychophysiological Research in Amsterdam on June 27th, 2018.
