PTSD Trigger-Warning Apps

The Feerless App Warns Netflix Viewers Of Potentially Traumatic Scenes

— February 6, 2016 — Tech
Feerless is a brilliant new app, develoepd by 28-year-old Danielle Leong, that is designed to warn Netflix viewers suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

PTSD sufferers often suffer panic attacks that are triggered by seeing or hearing things that remind them of the original trauma that caused their PTSD. For example, a soldier who suffers from PTSD as a result of their time in battle may suffer panic attacks and episodes upon seeing an explosion scene in an action movie.

To prevent this sort of unpleasant and potentially dangerous occurrence, the Feerless app works with Netflix to warn viewers about upcoming images or scenes that could trigger a panic episode. Viewers receive a 30-second heads-up which gives them enough time to decide whether they want to continue watching or not.

PTSD is more common than many of us think, and the fact that panic episodes can be triggered so easily in sufferers makes Feerless an excellent download for anyone suffering from PTSD.



Trend Themes
1. PTSD Trigger-warning Apps - The development of apps that warn viewers about potentially traumatic scenes in TV programmes and movies, allowing them to enjoy media with less fear of panic episodes.
2. Digital Empathetic Technology - The creation of technology that is developed to understand and help patients with mental health problems.
3. Inclusive Design - The practice of designing technology to be more accessible and helpful for people with disabilities or less abled people.
Industry Implications

2. Mental Health Industry - The industry that could develop platforms through the use of technology to help patients with mental health problems, including PTSD.
3. App Development Industry - The industry that benefits from the trend of creation of apps that can be used as mental health tools to help people cope better with their lives.
