General Use and Functionality

The PhysioCam is a novel, non-contact nervous system measurement tool — a “nervous system-ometer”, as we like to say! While many other methods for measuring the nervous system involve invasive or contact-based techniques such as headsets or adhesive electrode pads, PhysioCam uses only the real-time video of a client’s face to evaluate physiology and the changes in their nervous system.

The PhysioCam is designed for therapists, coaches, and anyone interested in integrating Polyvagal Theory into their work—or who believes their practice could benefit from real-time monitoring of clients’ nervous systems. Even clients and non-practitioners can use the PhysioCam to observe their own nervous system activity.
The PhysioCam observes activity in the vagus nerve, including biomarkers for nervous system states such as stress, relaxation, and emotional regulation — all from video pixels!
PhysioCam offers real-time insights into your clients’ nervous system behavior, even when it isn’t clearly visible on the outside. This objective, data-oriented supplement to your practice can help you tailor treatments more effectively and track progress in a session.

Technical and Practical Questions

Yes! PhysioCam is designed to be user-friendly and intuitive, integrating seamlessly with telehealth platforms.

Currently, the PhysioCam is supported on Windows PCs and requires this USB webcam and an active internet connection to use.

The PhysioCam is compatible with all major video calling platforms such as Zoom, Teams, Google Meet and Teletherapy.io. 

The PhysioCam is designed exclusively for Windows devices running Windows 10 or higher. This means that to use the PhysioCam, your device must be operating on Windows 10, Windows 11, or any later version. If you’re using an earlier version of Windows, or a non‑Windows operating system (such as macOS, Linux, or mobile OS), the PhysioCam will not be compatible.

The PhysioCam is based on cutting-edge research and is validated against contact-based measurement devices, ensuring reliable data for your practice.

Training and Support

To get started with the PhysioCam and support you along the way, we provide comprehensive training resources and ongoing support for integrating PhysioCam into your practice.

Early-access users will have unique access to monthly group consultation Zoom calls led by leading Polyvagal Theory expert Deb Dana. In these group discussions, early-access users share feedback and insights to collaboratively learn about integrating PhysioCam into their practices.

Early Access

Early Access is an opportunity to use the PhysioCam before its official launch and provide valuable, impactful feedback for shaping its development. While the Early Access version of the PhysioCam is available for testing, there will be differences between it and the official launch version as we continue to build based on your feedback. Applications for early access can be found [here].

Early Access participants are users who are excited to be among the first to test the PhysioCam technology and provide feedback on their experiences. Additionally, early access users will participate in monthly group consultation Zoom calls with Deb Dana.

Purchasing and Availability

Following the early access phase, we aim to launch the PhysioCam widely. For updates on the status of the launch version, sign up for updates [here].

The PhysioCam is available as a monthly or yearly subscription. You can find out pricing information here.

PhysioCam is downloadable worldwide. Currently, PhysioCam is only available with English language support.
