U.S. Patent For 3D Movement Data Goes To Red Light Holland Subsidiary, More AI Innovation Ahead

Canadian mushrooms producer Red Light Holland’s TRUFF wholly-owned tech subsidiary Radix Motion received a U.S. patent grant for the use of human movement data in psychedelic-assisted therapy (PAT).

Attained through the USPTO’s Patent Prosecution Highway (PTT) program with an issuing date of Nov. 7, Radix Motion's claims include using such data as a tool to promote positive experiences, to prevent negative experiences, to predict and personalize individual patient experiences, and to evaluate the therapy’s efficacy.

The Silicon Valley-based company aims to file a continuation application to keep the application family open in order to seek additional allowed claims and new patents. This includes using the technology in real-time analysis to identify the position and body movement of a psychedelic facilitator or therapist to detect potential violations and consequently activate real-time alerts and safety measures. 

Importantly, Radix Motion asserts that its technology does not require sending or storing any video information, and “helps to protect patient privacy.” 

CEO Sarah Hashkes says that as medical and wellness access to PAT grows, so does the need for technology potentially helping with data-driven decisions and real-time protection of patients and clients. 

"Human movement data in combination with AI is also an untapped area, which we believe should be included, for clinical research and new psychedelic compound development," Hashkes added.

Patent attorney and Red Light Holland’s senior advisor Graham Pechenik said the team moved through patent prosecution “in record time,” partly thanks to the received so-called first action allowance, and showing the technology’s “real uniqueness.” 

RLH’s CEO and director Todd Shapiro echoed the sentiment. “I’m proud that our embodied technology can help establish responsible best practices around psychedelics and contribute to positive change in the emerging psychedelic ecosystem.”

Shapiro says the patent is an important milestone, further viewing its potential licensing or sale as another revenue stream for Red Light Holland.

Through its focus on building immersive and embodied technology for health and wellness, Radix Motion’s other products include Meu, an AR/VR interactive hologram messenger, iMicroapp, a microdosing app also measuring poses and Wisdom VR, an interactive education on psychedelics.
