Robert Cuyler, PhD is the Chief Clinical Officer of Freespira. Dr. Cuyler is a nationally recognized expert on telemedicine and technology innovations for behavioral health. Dr. Bob is responsible for clinical training and supervision of Freespira’s licensed clinical assessors and coaches, who help deliver Freespira as a fully virtual treatment. He has helped to shape the company’s clinical protocols and outcomes studies, including the landmark publications that led to Freespira’s clearance for panic disorder and PTSD by the Food and Drug Administration. An author and sought-after presenter, Dr. Bob is the former CEO of a successful telepsychiatry company and clinical advisor to the likes of MDLive/Breakthrough Behavioral and BrainCheck.

Avrim Fishkind, MD, Medical Director of Psychiatry at Freespira. A behavioral health entrepreneur and pioneer of emergency telepsychiatry, Dr. Fishkind develops relationships between Freespira and the psychiatric community. Past president of the American Association for Emergency Psychiatry, he is widely respected within the psychiatric community for his inspiring vision of the profession’s digital future including telemedicine and prescription digital therapeutics.

Freespira is the only FDA-cleared digital therapeutic treatment proven to reduce or eliminate panic attacks and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptoms. Unlike medication or talk therapy, in 28 days Freespira addresses the underlying breathing irregularities for individuals suffering from these debilitating anxiety conditions.

Freespira normalizes exhaled carbon dioxide (CO2) and respiratory rates in a single 28-day at-home treatment. Guided, twice-daily (17-minute) treatments use a sensor sampling the patient’s exhaled air (to measure CO2 levels and respiration rates). These physiological markers are displayed in real-time on a tablet as visual feedback along with rising and falling audio tones to teach patients how to normalize respiration rate and expired CO2 levels.

Dr. Bob and Dr. Fishkind join Dr. Hoye to discuss Freespira, its inception, and the role of CO2 in health and meatal health functioning.
