PE Coach is designed to be used during therapy for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) with a health professional who is trained in Prolonged Exposure (PE) therapy. The app will guide you through the exercises assigned by your therapist and allows you to track and record your progress. In addition, the app provides techniques such as controlled breathing that will help you tolerate and decrease your distress. PE Coach will help you remember and track your upcoming therapy sessions. You will be able to audio record your sessions directly onto your phone so you can review them later as part of your treatment.
By itself this app is not sufficient to treat PTSD. However, those who are receiving PE treatment can work together with their therapist to use the tools in this app.
PE Coach was created by VA’s National Center for PTSD and DoD’s National Center for Telehealth & Technology.

Our mission is to deliver evidence-based psychological treatments using state-of-the-art immersive technology. How it works. Automated therapy. OVR’s therapy is automated via an integrated virtual coach. Adherence to evidence-based treatment protocols is combined with genuine ease of use. Experience on demand. In VR we can create powerful simulations of the scenarios in which psychological difficulties occur, providing a safe space to try new behaviour. Learning that translates. Despite a simulated environment, the mind and body behave as if it were real. This means that the lessons learned in VR transfer into everyday life.
The Online Therapy Unit was founded by Dr. Heather Hadjistavropoulos in 2010 and the research team has received funding from multiple sources since this time.
