TRIPP Launches Kōkua Beta, AI-Powered Meditation for Personalized Wellness in Your Pocket

Los Angeles, Calif. (February 7th, 2024) TRIPP, the award-winning global XR wellness company, today announced the beta launch of Kōkua, its latest mindfulness offering that delivers personalized AI-powered reflections based on user input to support users on their journey to feeling better. Kōkua’s AI leverages TRIPP’s arsenal of mood data, trained across 9.8M+ global wellness sessions, to deliver custom, interactive meditations in real time. First available to TRIPP users on mobile, the new offering represents a significant leap forward in leveraging artificial intelligence to deliver the next generation of personalized wellness.

Demand for both AI-powered experiences and accessible mental wellness tools continues to surge, and TRIPP has been at the forefront of merging these two trends from its inception. Kōkua, named after the Hawaiian concept of selfless care and support, represents the collaborative relationship between the user and AI. To begin the experience, users are prompted to share what they are going through at that moment and Kōkua will generate an original, custom meditative reflection that is designed to be short to support you throughout your day. A learning machine fueled by user feedback and mental state analysis, Kōkua evolves with each session, constantly improving to support users in the best way possible.

“Kōkua is the culmination of our commitment to pioneering the next-generation personalized wellness solutions accessible to users around the world,” said TRIPP Founder and CEO Nanea Reeves. “Mental and emotional well-being isn’t a one-size-fits-all approach. AI has proven itself instrumental in unlocking unprecedented personalization. That’s why we are harnessing it across our offerings to deliver adaptive mindfulness experiences based on user feedback and to even use kinematic data from the headset to utilize breathing patterns and eventually heart rate to personalize our support in real-time.”

With the implementation of two new patents, TRIPP can tailor experiences dynamically, responding in real-time to a user’s mood score and key kinematic signals connected to heart rate and breathing patterns. By leveraging mood scores from self-reported surveys completed by users before and after their wellness sessions, TRIPP has created a mood vector database that informs the tailored meditations generated by AI. The result is robust AI insights that can develop more personalized experiences for users. This data-driven approach allows TRIPP to adapt and tailor its offerings, ensuring users receive the most relevant and effective content for their journey toward well-being.

The announcement comes less than a week after the launch of TRIPP on the Apple Vision Pro, and a momentous year that included its launch on the Meta Quest 3, the release of its AI-powered breathwork experience Breathe, the acquisition of two patents, an investment in Equa Health, and completion of TRIPP PsyAssist’s Phase 1 Proof Of Concept (POC) Feasibility Study.

Kōkua is currently available on mobile only, with plans to launch across multiple platforms in the near future. To learn more, visit: https://www.tripp.com/
