The BluLateral wireless tapper stones allows therapists to perform EMDR sessions remotely using the bi-lateral stimulation approach. What is EMDR? A physical stimulation of touch or vision, alternating left and right, which helps promote memory recall and release and which has shown strong results for many people. Traditional EMDR uses tappers that are physically wired to a controller, limiting their use to in-person sessions and preventing clients from finding a comfortable position during the session discussions. The BluLateral stones are wirelessly controlled from the therapist’s smartphone. They allow clients to relax or hold the stones in a comfortable way, untethered from the controller. The concept allows remote EMDR across the world, and can even support one-to-many control: for instance a therapist in the USA could support an EMDR session with multiple soldiers overseas in one sitting. The BluLateral team has years of experience with other products and has created a solution that enhances their ability to help their clients.
The tappers ergonomic design was nearly settled before Moxie was hired to refine the circuit board design for bluetooth and to create a smartphone applications. The bluetooth allows reliable connection and control of tapping, synchronizing between the phone and all stones used in the session even with intermittent connections. The app implements a neumorphic design style, providing a soft and calm interface respectful of the sensitive therapy setting.
