North Shore Therapeutics develops digital solutions for psychiatric illnesses that have no effective treatment options.

StarStarter is currently available as a non-prescription therapeutic game to manage symptoms of anxiety. Our mobile casual game delivers treatment using a unique cognitive training method called Attention Bias Modification Training, and is designed to be used for 6-12 mnutes a day, at least 4 days a week for an 30 day initial course of treatment. Evidence during our most recent clinical pilot showed that >90% of patients saw symptom reduction, 68% had clinically meaningful reductions in anxiety severity levels. 

The game is fun and brief, using your ship to bounce off the walls to gather energy and bring light back to the galaxy. As you light the stars, inhabitants will offer you their wisdom to enrich your life. Integrated assessments provide support for escalation and triage. 

Arcade Therapeutics improve mental health outcomes through low-stigma, accessible mobile games, based on breakthrough neuroscientific research.

Despite major advances in pharmacotherapy, there are still significant unmet needs with no effective treatments for some SMI symptoms. The FDA has embraced “software as a medical device” enabling a path for clinically validated evidence-based digital therapeutics for psychiatry.1

Consumer-based mobile technology has advanced to allow for promising digital treatments for mental illness.

We are committed to developing, creating, and providing evidence-based solutions to address these unmet needs.

Big Health’s DaylightRx is an FDA-cleared treatment for anxiety. However, Daylight’s mechanism of action is digitized CBT. Patients are often discouraged by CBT’s invasive questions, time-consuming activities, and stress-inducing assignments. StarStarter provides a lower barrier of entry to mental health treatment through its brief and casual gaming approach and simplified questionnaires. Additionally, ABM targets bottom-up, subconscious processes through its cognitive exercise, while Digital CBT targets top-down conscious processes through verbal mediation and executive functioning.
