We discuss the impact of FreeSpira, an FDA-approved digital therapeutic treatment for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and panic disorder.

The treatment involves using a device at home for 17 minutes, twice a day over four weeks, to measure and improve the patient’s exhaled CO2 levels and respiratory rate. This helps regulate their physiology and manage stress reactions. We also explore the development and research behind FreeSpira, its effectiveness in managing symptoms, and its potential limitations and future developments.
