Curiosity, with care
Understand more.
Promise less.
Useful information should respect your experience and be clear about what it can—and cannot—tell you.
Pain is a personal experience
The International Association for the Study of Pain describes pain as an experience shaped by biological, psychological and social factors. A person’s report of pain deserves respect. That perspective helps guide PB’s tone: curious, supportive and never dismissive.

Education is a starting point
PB aims to explain concepts in everyday language and make sources easier to explore. General evidence cannot determine the cause of an individual person’s symptoms or the right treatment for them.
Features are not proof of benefit
PB is in development. We have not established that the app improves clinical outcomes. Games, soundscapes and breathing tools are offered as optional experiences, without promises that they will reduce pain or work for everyone.
Uncertainty belongs in the conversation
When evidence is limited or mixed, we aim to say so. In particular, experimental binaural and stereo audio features are not advertised as proven pain treatments.
AI needs perspective
App conversations may use AI and can be wrong. They are not diagnoses, prescriptions or a substitute for professional care. The small guide on this website is a separate, preset product guide.
Still being reviewed
Content and safety flows continue to be reviewed during development. We do not claim endorsement by the organizations we reference. To flag a factual or accessibility issue, contact the team.
