What Flight Simulators Did for Pilots, We’re Doing for Clinicians
We’re building the next generation of trauma-ready therapists through adaptive AI that ensures real competence, confidence, and clinical readiness before they ever see a patient.
To transform mental health training from a slow, expensive, in-person process into a scalable, clinically validated AI platform that expands the trauma-clinician workforce 4× faster at 1/10th the cost.
What's your long-term vision?
To ensure every trauma survivor, veteran, and family can instantly access a skilled clinician by making readiness training universally available through adaptive AI across desktop, mobile, and VR platforms.
💡 The Problem
Market Gap
Only 15,000 EMDR-certified clinicians for 122 million trauma survivors in the U.S.
Training Barriers
Certification takes 6–12 months, costs $3K+, and leaves many clinicians underprepared
Global Impact
Long waitlists and a $16T global mental-health burden
Why hasn't this been solved before?
Training systems were designed for small classrooms, not scalable, validated, adaptive simulations. We're bringing simulation-based mastery learning and AI to mental health education for the first time.
🧠 How does 8P3P solve this?
01
Short-cycle certifications
AI micro-lessons + AI-coached simulations
02
Adaptive AI Patient
Responds in 100 ms (mimic human behavior) using gaze, tone, and body cues
03
Competency-based progression
Clinicians must prove mastery before advancing
04
Desktop/Mobile First, VR-Ready
CE-integrated for lifelong learning
Why is your approach defensible?
Our provisional patent (#63/827,671) protects the EEAP micro-stack, real-time adaptive dialogue, multimodal cue recognition, and TRG reasoning layer. IRB validation provides regulatory defensibility and institutional trust.

8 hypotheses measuring competence, fidelity, cost-effectiveness, retention, and pipeline acceleration
What's the expected outcome?
Non-inferiority to traditional training (0.3 SD), 4× faster readiness, and credential-ready, auditable proof for hospitals and DoD.
Why is an IRB Important?
We don’t actually have to conduct an IRB. Most training or AI startups never do but if we want to be different, the first, and ultimately the gold standard, then we need to run a formal IRB study and hold ourselves to the same strict standards as clinical research institutions. It’s how we force change for the better in how clinicians are trained and certified.
Note: There is no such thing as ‘failing’ an IRB study. The process is iterative. It allows us to continuously tweak and strengthen our system to ensure it’s fully clinically grounded and aligned with real-world therapist performance. Each evaluation cycle helps refine our adaptive AI and improve training outcomes.
Publishing Results
While our peer-reviewed papers are under journal review, we’ll publish the results as preprints on academic platforms like TechRxiv or medRxiv. That allows us to claim scientific priority, share early findings transparently, and let reviewers and partners cite our work even before final publication.
Once peer review is complete, those preprints convert into full journal publications giving us both speed and credibility: speed through early dissemination, and credibility through formal academic validation. It’s the same playbook leading healthtech companies use to establish authority early while waiting for peer review to finalize.
Why Now / Timing
We’re at a breaking point in mental health. The U.S. faces a record shortage of trauma-trained clinicians while demand for trauma care has never been higher. Federal and state agencies are now prioritizing workforce expansion, competency-based training, and measurable outcomes over legacy certification models.
Institutions are under pressure to prove clinical readiness and demonstrate faster, scalable training pipelines. At the same time, clinicians are demanding flexible, remote, and affordable ways to upskill without leaving their practice.
