Field Trip Announces Relaunch and Refresh of Its Award-Winning Psychedelic App

The app, now called Field Trip, includes new features, new content, and is part of the Company’s new community-focused, digital-centric growth strategy

TORONTO, Oct. 13, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Field Trip Health & Wellness Ltd. (TSX-V: FTHW) (“Field Trip” or the “Company”), the global leader in the development and delivery of psychedelic therapies, is pleased to announce that a new version of its award-winning app for psychedelic guidance is now available for download on the App Store and Google Play.

Formerly known as ‘Trip’ and now known simply as ‘Field Trip’, the app, which has been downloaded over 80,000 times, includes a number of new features, such as offline access to music and meditations, higher bit-rate streaming, access to Field Trip’s therapeutic programs, and a new user flow.

In addition, Field Trip will soon include six exclusive tracks from Wavepaths, the global leader in music solutions for psychedelic therapy. These tracks were exclusively developed for Field Trip’s in-person psychedelic-assisted therapies, and will be made available through the app in the coming weeks.

“We are incredibly excited to release the ‘Field Trip’ app,” said Mujeeb Jafferi, Field Trip’s President. “For one, its new features and content, including the exclusive Wavepaths tracks, make it an even better companion for psychedelic experiences. Furthermore, it marks the first step in Field Trip’s evolution as a company. We set out to prove that the medical profession and society at-large were ready to re-embrace psychedelics. We have done that. Our strategy now is to engage as many people as possible in conversations around these powerful compounds and experiences, with the Field Trip app as the focal point for that strategy, supported by our Field Trip locations around the world.”

In the coming months, Field Trip plans to announce new initiatives that it expects will greatly expand access to, and education around the use of, psychedelics. These will include new and innovative therapeutic programs utilizing legal psychedelic compounds and non-ordinary states of consciousness, and an accelerated development program for the Field Trip app. In preparation for these new programs, the Company expects to restructure the staffing and operations at the Atlanta, Houston and Amsterdam locations, which may delay the acceptance of new clients at such locations.

“For the first three years of our existence, our operational focus was on building the clinical infrastructure to deliver psychedelic therapies in response to the mental health crisis,” said Ronan Levy, Field Trip’s Chairman and CEO. “In the process, we developed the most recognized voice and brand in the industry¹ and built a global community for the millions of people who are interested in psychedelics.²”

“We aspire to be the center of gravity for the psychedelic movement which is growing exponentially,” Levy added. “And so, we are leaning into that as our strategy going forward.”
