About Us

PsycReality was born in the Summer of 2018 with a highlight being attendance at the Shift Conference in Zagreb and Web Summit in Lisbon as a featured Start -up.

Our Journey

Our founder Bilal Awan is a tech entrepreneur, and he has won many awards and is often asked to present or showcase his ideas at conferences all over Europe and the Middle East.

It was during these travels that he got the idea for the use of emerging technologies in the treatment of phobias. Bilal has always been interested in the use of technology and in improving the quality of people’s personal, family, and social life.

Bilal started building up a team of professionals and med techs and in Dec 2018 applied for an Irish Patent which was granted in 2019.

The year 2019 was a busy and successful year as PsycReality was awarded Best Start – Up during LEAP Summit Zagreb, attended Turkey TechnoFest Istanbul as featured start-up, attended World Enterprise Investment Forum, Bahrain as featured start-up and was awarded top 50 tech innovators during Internet Conference Dubai. Also, in 2019, there was an invitation to attend UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization) conference as featured start – up in Bahrain.

A strategic partnership was formed with an FDA approved Global company, the holder of patents in 36 countries, for the further enhancement in innovative technologies.

In 2020, research was conducted on phobias and the behaviour,  and response of patients from different regions to test the viability of the software developed to date.
