Thank you for your support! Yes, if you have multiple people in your household we recommend everyone have an individual membership so you can track personalized data, but if you’re willing to share a Kit we can give you a heavy discount for each additional membership you purchase. If you decide to do so just email me directly and I will set you up myself: [email protected]

Thank you for the suggestion, it’s something we’re excited about exploring and actually will be launching Flowly for Teams with a few companies soon. If you have any ideas of people to reach out to who might have interest or even just advice to share, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me: [email protected]

Yes definitely. We are in the process of redesigning our website to better reflect relevant studies. Our own studies will be published end of the year.

Thank you for your interest. Currently we're not operating outside the U.S. because our shipping operations are limited, however, if you're very interested we'd be happy to send you a Testflight link to try. We've had a few members pay for international shipping after they tried the app via the Testflight link.

That makes sense, I will convey this to our team as we redesign the website. Thank you for the feedback!

Thank you for your support, we'd love to hear your feedback. We always recommend family members have separate accounts so you can keep your data tracking individualized, however if your wife tries a session with your account and is interested in her own membership, we'd be happy to provide a Family discount! Just email me directly at [email protected] mentioning this and I will set you up. Also I love to remind members they can call us at 323-545-3659 when you set up your Kit for the first time to help answer any questions and get tips.

Amazing, we have started working with pediatric pain and kids with anxiety as well. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you for summarizing this so clearly and explaining why most wearables don't provide the data we need to do biofeedback training. Appreciate your insight here.

Yes we went through a lot of testing in terms of design and UX to best optimize VR experiences for people with pain. In our designs we also have to be very cognizant of different triggers because we have a population of members who do have PTSD. Flowly can be helpful to quite a large spectrum of people but of course, as you say, it is a spectrum so effectiveness will vary for each individual.

Yes that’s essentially it. We calculate your target/ideal breathing rate and then have breathing guides during the session for you to follow. Then you’re able to see your heart rate graph in realtime and understand how it changes with your breathing.

Thank you for this feedback because we are still trying to work out how to best present information on our website. Do you think the pricing should come up earlier on the homepage?

Right now we calculate something called Resonant Frequency Breathing Rate which is the unique breathing rate each person can breathe at to best optimize their Heart Rate Variability. We calculate this Breathing Rate through data derived from our Heart Rate sensor.

For many people this is relevant for chronic back pain originating from bad posture. Our clinical studies actually focus on chronic back pain. But of course, everyone's case is unique so I would say it's worth a try, but I'd love to hear your feedback.

We have had Flowly members who have carpal tunnel, however our clinical studies did not focus on carpal tunnel. I would say this might be worth a try to learn how to regulate your nervous system to better manage the stress and pain from carpal tunnel, but of course I'd love to hear your individual experience and feedback.
