Problems solved by technology

While these platforms may be effective, they have several problems.
First, prior art platforms provide a limited number of types of stimulation.
Providing a limited number of types of stimulation thus limits the effectiveness of the platform for many people.
Prior art platforms also provide limited number of objects and backgrounds, and are thus not very compelling to use...

Embodiment Construction

[0026]In general, the present invention is a computer-based system for providing a user with BLS. Embodiments are presented herein where a user is provided with BLS on an electronic device, such as a smartphone, tablet, or computer. Additionally, the electronic device may also present a message to the user that is intended to result in a positive belief in themself (a “positive cognition”) which will maximize positive thinking.

[0027]Various embodiments provide: the option of selecting and / or configuring a BLS Session; identifying an area that they feel needs improvement, such as overcoming a fear or providing confidence in achieving a goal; optional pre-session and optional post-session surveying to determine the effect of the session on the user; and receiving reports of current or historical measures of the effectiveness of the session.

[0028]One embodiment of each of the methods described herein is in the form of a computer program that is stored in computer memory and which execu...

Abstract

A method and apparatus for tracking progress from bilateral stimulation (BLS) sessions is described. A user is provided with a plurality of BLS sessions, where each BLS session addresses a factor, such as a problem or goal and a self-evaluation before or after each session. The method and apparatus stores the factor and self-evaluation, and generates reports for each factor addressed.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Application No. 62 / 896,907 filed Sep. 6, 2019, the contents of which is hereby incorporated by reference in its entirety.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTIONField of the Invention[0002]The present invention generally relates to mental health, and more particularly to a method and system for improving mental health.Discussion of the Background[0003]Bilateral stimulation (“BLS”) is a generalization of a technique for treating people that is a part of the well-known technique of eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (“EMDR”) therapy. BLS may be used, for example and without limitation, to achieve certain goals, such as overcome negative beliefs about oneself, overcome fears or reduce the impact of painful memories, such as with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), or reinforcing positive beliefs about oneself.[0004]In a BLS Session the person is instructed to move their eyes in a parti...
