United States Air Force Plans to "Aim High" Leveraging the Science of Neuroplasticity

MIAMI, Jan. 22, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Pathwaves, a Miami-based digital therapeutics company, has been awarded a U.S. Air Force Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I contract through AFWERX and the Air Force Research Lab (AFRL) to advance the development of the NeuroEmpowermenttm methodology.

Pathwaves has effectively established a tracked, evidence-based process that quantifies and improves cognitive mental and emotional function.  The NeuroEmpowermenttm process is based on the science of neuroplasticity ? the brain and body's ability to build new neural pathways and synapses.  The methodology is a unique combination of cutting-edge digital integration technology (neurotechnology), coaching and counseling, along with therapeutic mindfulness techniques that provide natural and sustainable results.

During the last decade, approximately 20% of U.S. Air Force personnel have annually been diagnosed with a mental health disorder (source January 2017 Deployment Health Clinical Center report).  Pathwaves has been highly successful in relieving symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, sleep issues, ADD/ADHD and an array of other issues.

"Our team is excited about the opportunity to work with the dedicated men and women who serve in the U.S. Air Force.  We look forward to helping them to function at their optimum with our NeuroEmpowermenttm process," says Geoff Cole, Founder and CEO of Pathwaves.

The Pathwaves NeuroEmpowermenttm platform will, for the first time, provide the U.S. Air Force with the ability to objectively quantify their personnel's level of mental function.  The process begins with the proprietary NeuroQuanttm as the first step of their modern approach to not only resolving mental health issues, but enabling the highest levels of mental performance.  The NeuroQuanttm reveals the areas of imbalance, and is followed by an average of 12 neurofeedforwardtm sessions ? a proprietary process that uses neurtechnology to create new, previously non-existent neural pathways and synaptic connections. The sessions are designed to correct the imbalances and are supported by therapy and coaching. The methodology is non-invasive and medication-free.
