Test a New Digital Treatment for Trichotillomania
In collaboration with Dr. Christopher Flessner at Kent State University, HabitAware was awarded an NIH research grant to develop and test a digital treatment for hair pulling that includes a wearable device and mobile app.
Now we need your help!
If you live with trichotillomania (hair pulling disorder), you may be eligible to participate in a research study to test one of two digital treatments over 12 weeks.
You must be 18+ years old, live in the U.S., and own an iPhone.
You must not have used HabitAware’s Keen2 device within the past 24 months.
You must not currently be in therapy for trichotillomania.
