Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a significant disease impacting society today. In recent years we have seen PTSD become increasingly visible as a result of tragedies impacting the community. Tragedies are always something we want to avoid. More importantly the individuals suffering from this disease deserve the best chance of successful integration in society as well as access to the needed preventive care.
TRS began evaluating technology approaches to aid in early warning, detection, and self-regulating methodologies in support of combating this problem. In 2012 we began research in the area of psychometrics. This effort took on an initial approach to understanding and evaluating previous research conducted related to the correlation of Autonomic Nervous System (ANS) and stress.
Our innovation and design of the StressPod Analyzer (SPA) is geared toward establishing solutions that miniaturize current biosensing technologies used in biofeedback. This approach is to create a wearable technology equivalent in capability to hospital/medical grade sensing technology. Additionally, further interest include aggregating data into a single device while delivering data analytics in a two path approach. Path-1 objective of data analytics is to centralize data in a remote cloud capacity. In this path data is scrutinized for accuracy. Path-2 allows the user or patient to become aware of their health state. We reference this terminology as self regulated learning (SRL). As we combine path-1 and path-2 from a data perspective our goal is to establish self regulated technology (SRT). Our SRT approach focuses on using data analytics extracted from psychophysiological data to aid in establishing early warning capabilities that could essentially assist in curbing high stress and in addition notify medical professionals in the event of concern. This approach to SRT is essential to individuals diagnosed with PTSD. TRS welcomes supporters interested in helping those who are challenged with this disorder. This cause requires attention, as well as the support from individuals like you.
