## About Freespira

Freespira, Inc. is a digital therapeutics company based in Kirkland, Washington.

Founded in 2013, it specializes in evidence-based health technology focused on treating panic disorder and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The company offers Freespira, an FDA-cleared, at-home treatment that is medication-free and designed to reduce or eliminate symptoms in just 28 days. The Freespira system includes a medical breathing sensor that monitors breathing rates and CO2 levels, a tablet device for real-time feedback, a custom mobile app for tracking progress, and coaching support from dedicated Freespira coaches. This comprehensive approach targets breathing dysregulation and hypersensitivity to carbon dioxide, providing a unique solution that can be used alongside traditional therapies or as a standalone intervention.
