Expert Help, What defines Therapy?
Posted: Tue Mar 17, 2015 10:34 pm
Hi everyone,
We are planning on launching a device on Kickstarter which will assist with the treatment of anxiety. Its a biofeedback device that allows the user to monitor their anxiety levels and actively change them.
I notice that Kickstarter does not allow any devices that claim to 'treat or cure' an illness.
I can understand their fears in this regard but can anyone advise me as to whether a 'self help' device that claims to assist with treatments and not cure or control them would be allowed on Kickstarter?
I am a Medical Physicist and my partners are both Neuroscientists so this isn't a scam 'self help' device it will only claim to do what it can be proven to do.
Thanks
Alan
