We need new solutions to address today’s growing mental health crisis.
50%
of us will have a diagnosable mental illness in our lifetime, but . . .
Over Half
Don’t seek treatment
More accessible mental health interventions can improve the lives of millions each year and lower the risk of acute issues or events.
This is what motivates us.
Arcade is on a mission to transform how we access, engage, and deliver mental health treatment through novel therapeutic approaches that lower barriers to care.
Our treatments are:
Effective
7 Published RCTs
288 Patients studied in published trials
Engaging
6 -12 Minute sessions
85% 30 day retention to prescribed dose
Optimized for Digital
We don’t digitize traditional therapy through long questionnaires and daily assignments. Instead, we take full advantage of what digital has to offer.
Why Therapeutic Gaming?
In mental health, lack of engagement is why many people fail in taking action for self-care. As a medium, gaming is unparalleled in its ability to engage and immerse, capturing attention like no other format.
Arcade is dedicated to exploring the positive therapeutic potential of mobile gaming by combining cognitive neuroscience with accessible, game-based treatments.
