The EMDR-Remote & -Plus upgrade! 🚀
We are incredibly proud to announce that EMDR-Remote and -Plus have undergone a significant upgrade, and all our users now have access to the revamped platform. This new version is a direct result of your valuable feedback and ongoing support. In this article, we are excited to share the new functionalities with you.
In addition to adding new features, EMDR-Remote will now transition to a paid service after being available for free for five years. We explain the reasons for this change in detail at the end of this article.
Let's look at the new features first!
What we have in store for you
A fresh new look 👀
We have given the user interface a complete makeover, aiming to provide an intuitive and streamlined experience for our users. Simply put: it not only looks better, but it also works much more smoothly.
We designed the new look so:
- The tool is now also easily operable on a tablet or iPad.
- Users have easier access to specific tasks.
Your favorite feature can now be turned on or off with just one click of a button!
It might take some getting used to, but we believe everyone will quickly get the hang of it!
Safely use your sensitive media 📸
The security of patient data is a top priority at Psylaris. When a patient provides confidential information, such as images or videos, our therapists must be able to use it with the absolute confidence that this information is protected and handled with the utmost care and will never leave the treatment room.
Our new update ensures that all media are encrypted when sent to our servers and are only accessible to the treating therapist. These files are automatically deleted after 24 hours from our servers, guaranteeing maximum safety. No one outside the session will be able to see these files, including Psylaris.
Privacy and safety are our top priority.
Overdrive mode 💪
Overdrive mode. Chaos mode. Many different names for the same concept: maximum load, with just one press of a button.
This new mode, available in EMDR-Remote and -Plus, offers the ability to immediately increase the intensity of the therapy. With just one click, you can set the tool to its highest setting and pull out all the stops.
Overdrive modus wordt gebruikt om dissociatie tegen te gaan of aandacht van de cliënt te trekken.
Psylaris Exposure & Relaxation Library 🎥 💙
Discover more than 800 videos, spread across more than 40 categories, developed in collaboration with therapists.
This library provides support for a wide range of purposes, from social anxiety to meditation exercises. Our goal is to offer the most comprehensive library to our customers, so if there is anything missing, Niels, our video producer, would love to hear about it.
Ideal for practicing, building up to a full-fledged situation, or calming a patient down.
Would you like to explore our library yourself? You can find the complete overview after logging in, either on the Psylaris Dashboard or under “Psylaris Library” in the media section.
Why EMDR-Remote is transitioning to a paid model
During the COVID-19 pandemic we have introduced EMDR-Remote and offered the tool for free as support during these challenging times. Initially, we were able to make cost-saving arrangements with our video call providers, which kept expenses manageable for us and allowed us to offer this service free of charge to our customers.
However, these agreements ended last year, resulting in significantly increased costs for us. Additionally, we received many requests to add new functionalities to our platform (such as the features mentioned above). We faced a crucial decision: either discontinue the platform or introduce a paid model to ensure the continuity and improvement of our services. Naturally, we wanted to continue providing our service to our customers. Therefore, we are introducing a new subscription:
- For only €10 excl. VAT per month you get access to all features in EMDR-Remote.
- Opt for an annual subscription? Then you will receive 20% discount and pay only €100 excl. VAT per year.
Remarks or questions? We'd love to hear them!
We are very excited to hear what you think of the new version! Your feedback is crucial; it helps us and other therapists tremendously. Please share your experiences in our LinkedIn group or on the forum on our website.
We have also published new how-to guides and FAQs that you can consult. Of course, our team is always available via support@psylaris.com to answer any question.
Thanks for your trust in our tool. We hope the updates elevate your therapy sessions to an even higher level. Try them out soon and let us know what you think!
Moreover, we continue to develop, so keep your eyes open for even more improvements in the future.
Warm regards
The Psylaris team 💙
