Face2Face is an application used to supplement treatment for facial paralysis caused by Bell's Palsy, stroke and acoustic neuroma. Facial palsy is treated by general rehabilitative therapy and for these patients; those who exercise their facial muscles recover more quickly than those who do not. However, many of these patients avoid mirrors due to the anxiety of looking at their asymmetric facial features. Face2Face mirrors the healthy side of the face over the unhealthy side, which allows for patients to exercise their facial muscles, while seeing their face wholly healthy. This type of biofeedback therapy has been proven effective through extensive research with patients who experience phantom limb pain. The application also features educational materials and videos, and allows patients to monitor their progress, connect with physical therapists and support groups.
