Trained on over 11 million wellness sessions worldwide, Kōkua XR leverages TRIPP’s mood data to provide personalized meditation reflections based on real-time user feedback.
Initially available on TRIPP’s mobile app, it has expanded into VR to meet the demand for personalized wellness experiences.
“Not every path to wellness is the same, and at Kōkua we ensure that your journey to supporting your mental and emotional wellness is as unique as you are. It’s not just an upgrade; think of it as an entirely new approach to wellness — personal, accessible and shareable across multiple platforms,” said Nanea Reeves, CEO and Founder of TRIPP.
TRIPP, the award-winning wellness technology company, today announced that its AI meditation guide, Kōkua XR, is now available in virtual reality. Named for the Hawaiian concept of selfless care and support, Kōkua XR leverages TRIPP’s arsenal of mood data trained on TRIPP’s 11 million global wellness sessions to generate AI-powered hyper-personalized interactive reflections in real-time. Since its beta release on mobile in February, Kōkua XR has increased session engagement by over 100%, demonstrating the strong demand for customized wellness experiences and the power of AI to deliver hyper-personalization through real-time experience generation.
“Since the company was founded years ago, the TRIPP team has envisioned a personalized, dynamic, and immersive experience that learns and adapts to each user’s state in real time,” said Tim Chang, a Mayfield venture partner who led TRIPP’s seed round in 2017. “TRIPP has always methodically built a foundation of data and technology in anticipation of new AI capabilities that will customize and optimize mindfulness and consciousness-expanding experiences to unprecedented levels. TRIPP’s breath detection model combined with real-time AI-generated meditations demonstrates that hyper-personalized experiences can be used for positive impact beyond just mental and emotional health.”
Kōkua XR is the first wellness approach that uses AI to not only provide personalized reflection, but also continues to evolve with each session to better support users. The service is built on mood data from over 11 million TRIPP sessions, and users are asked to self-report their mood before and after each experience. The result is Kōkua XR’s powerful AI interface, built from TRIPP’s patented and unique wellness-focused data environment designed to deliver a helpful experience for people who use TRIPP’s apps across multiple platforms. Kōkua XR and TRIPP’s AI platform are truly driven by the TRIPP community. Through each interaction, Kōkua XR learns how to better support users individually and the entire TRIPP community. Initially available on mobile and Meta Quest, Kōkua XR will be expanded across TRIPP’s platforms in the coming months.
“TRIPP users have played a unique role in shaping this technology by sharing their feelings with us. With each session, members can embody Kōkua’s collaborative, selfless spirit and step up in supporting themselves and others,” said Nanea Reeves, CEO and founder of TRIPP. “Not every path to wellness is the same. At Kōkua, we ensure that your journey to supporting your mental and emotional wellness is as unique as you. This isn’t just an upgrade; think of it as an entirely new approach to wellness: personal, accessible and shareable across multiple platforms.”
Leveraging two established patents, TRIPP dynamically customizes wellness experiences by instantly responding to the user’s mood changes and key physical indicators, such as breathing patterns collected from the headset itself. The system collects mood data, breathing movement data, and generates scores from pre- and post-session user surveys to build a vector database of moods and emotions, allowing the AI to generate customized meditations. Thanks to a new patent pending, TRIPP ensures accurate user input with a unique interaction system that allows for correction, cancellation, and interruption, and provides agile, context-rich responses by treating voice as a dialogue line rather than an audio stream through a unique atomic delivery method. This unique approach allows TRIPP to continuously refine its offerings and provide users with the most effective and relevant content for their wellness.
[p”Its no secret that generative AI has profoundly changed our experience with everyday interactions and experiences, and our approach to wellbeing is no exception, said Malte Barth, Founding Partner at Bitkraft who led TRIPPs Series A round in 2022. Nanea and the TRIPP team have spent the last 5 years building one of the most powerful engines to deliver meditation and wellness experiences that is unparalleled in its personalized touch and commitment to users. Her vision has been lightyears ahead of most.[/p]
The announcement comes on the heels of several milestones, including being named Best in Space Computing for Apple Vision Pro and Founder and CEO Nanea Reeves being named a finalist for the Women that Build Awards 2024. TRIPP has also received over 2.6 million 5-star ratings for its in-app experience and is the most reviewed mindfulness app on the Meta Quest platform. A pioneer in XR wellness, TRIPP continues to leverage AI and immersive technologies to deliver personalized wellness experiences to users around the world.
