ABOUT THRIVE360
One Mission: Health for All
Most who need help will never seek it.
Crippled by shame and embarrassment, eight out of 10 people who need emotional therapy refuse to seek it.
Thrive360 founder Joe Woskow wanted to build something that would make it easier and more comfortable for people to access and engage with therapy.
Thrive360 Timeline
How it got started, and where we are today
Idea: Expand access to quality care by creating private, high-quality, recorded therapy sessions.
In 2013, Woskow hatches an idea to create recorded therapy sessions in both high-quality video and virtual reality.
He believed that when combined with the benefits of privacy, the efficacy and engagement of recorded therapy could be enhanced further if the user were deeply immersed in the content. Woskow fabricates his own virtual-reality cameras and begins recording a series of sessions with Austin-area therapists.
Initial tests show success.
Locals interested in eliminating stress and losing weight signed up to evaluate his sessions.
Woskow programmed their mobile phones, sent them on their way, and asked them to report back in 30 days. The results were impressive. Users reported measurable relief from their emotional stresses, and many lost weight.
Platform development removes barriers to access
Robust and intuitive content delivery platform is built for engagement
Following extensive research into the barriers to accessing mental and emotional healthcare, the Thrive360 team focuses on ensuring the platform is anonymous and accessible 24×7, with a strong emphasis on user privacy.
Clinical evaluations and research continue
Results from clinical testing validate approaches and techniques
The focus on clinical and scientifically based research continues to populate an ever-growing library of data that validates the emotional impact of Thrive360 content, as well as the positive impact to ROI.
Building an ecosystem of hand-picked professionals
After identifying a wish list of topics and specialties, Thrive360 recruits professionals who specialize in, and in many cases are world-renowned for, their work in those areas. Now, users can find the topic, the provider, and the therapeutic techniques that resonate best with their unique needs.
