This leads to a large percentage of patients not seeking care, along with a large undiagnosed population left struggling with their mental health.Sources: HHS, CDC, NIH, Project Hope190M Americans play video games today, according to the Entertainment Software Association.Mobile games are most popular with adults, and allow for access anytime, anywhere and are used by all cultural backgrounds.Our first game, StarStarter for Anxiety, is now available, as a science-backed cognitive training game to help manage the symptoms of anxiety. We have begun launches with universities, behavioral health providers, and primary care providers. It's available as a first-line treatment or complementary to other treatments, as a non-prescription option. And it works! Our most recent clinical trial delivered excellent results within a 30 days, showing similar effectiveness to pharmaceutical products but without the harmful side effects. You can find more information about this trial and our other published studies at https://arcadetherapeutics.com/research/Arcade's Co-Founders are passionate about lowering the barriers for mental wellness. They bring together world-class scientific knowledge with experience building consumer products across healthcare, media and tech-enabled services. We've added amazing advisors to the team that bring game strategy, regulatory, and commercial expertise to support our goals.Go to Market: Our deployment strategy is B2B2C, allowing trusted partners to make our treatments available to their patients or clients. We have contracted with a number of partners for pilot programs in primary care, tele-health, universities, and behavioral health.Our pricing model for StarStarter for Anxiety (wellness) is based on $75 / 90 day Treatment, with discounts available in volume. In the future, we expect that insurance based reimbursement will allow our products to scale to even larger populations as a first line treatment. Our referral based programs allow patients to receive discounted access from their provider. Enterprise model allows a partner to pay for their organization to have access, avoiding barriers to patient access. Through our integrated ArcadeConnect platform, we also support reporting and billing data to allow for reimbursement from insurance when applicable. Sources: NIMH, Best Colleges, NEA, CommonwealthOur products come with an integrated clinical platform for secure registration, periodic assessments, and data management to support personalization and triage. In this way we can integrate with existing services to engage with patients earlier, and provide escalation paths that help them take appropriate next steps.FUTURE PRODUCTS. We were also co-awarded a $3.8M grant from the NIMH with UT Austin to fund a clinical trial for a treatment for Major Depressive Disorder. This new product has already been piloted, and has shown promising results as our next major therapeutic area.GO TO MARKET. Our projected revenue is based on deployments across our priority segments, using scaling pricing starting at $75 per treatment for non-prescription anxiety to approximately $300 for depression treatment, supported by newly released Digital Mental Health Treatment codes. We also intend to license these products into international markets. The additional opportunity of combination products to improve effectiveness of pharmaceutical products is not fully captured yet as this is a new and rapidly evolving opportunity. Future projections are not guaranteed.USE OF PROCEEDS. Our Equity Crowdfunding Round will support early rollouts of our therapeutic games through trusted organizations, along with support for FDA Clearances that support our long term goals of making effective treatments available in scale.\u0026nbsp;Funds will be used to execute on revenue and product deployment milestones to achieve early revenue scale of $1.5MM-$2MM ARR prior to Series ANon-prescription Anxiety launches. Primary Care, Universities, BH and Tele-Therapy segmentsCore Operations and Client Support. Support for client operations and sales to achieve penetration targets.

Our therapeutic game uses a specific cognitive training technique that is embedded into gameplay, called attention bias modification (ABM). It shifts attention away from negative toward positive using facial stimuli that we subconsciously process. Other games certainly can be naturally calming. Ours uniquely has a specific technique, that was isolated using a similar version of our game but with a very strict placebo to prove our effectiveness for anxiety symptoms as part of our FDA clearance process. More on that research can be found on our website under Clinical Research. Our depression trial is also underway with UT Austin which has optimized the stimuli and timing of our training specifically for depression, which will be offered as a prescription therapeutic when it becomes available.","author_name":"Raj Amin","votes":0,"created_at":"2024-11-03T16:14:33Z"}]},{"id":295484,"entity_id":"wefunder:comment:295484","question":"Hello!
