Grasp helps patients cope. Transforming their experiences.
Introducing Grasp
Grasp is built on a simple human instinct. When people feel stress, they often hold onto something. This natural behavior helps regulate tension and restore a sense of control. Grasp turns this instinct into a clinical tool that supports coping, communication, and patient participation during treatment.
Audiovisual active distraction combined with tactile engagement helps children shift focus from fear to fun.
Distract
A simple signaling system allows patients to express discomfort and have agency without interrupting care.
Communicate
Real time patient feedback removes guesswork and supports more confident clinical decisions.

How it works
Explore coping modes
Grasp Aware is equipped with two distinct modes to enhance the patient care experience, each tailored to meet different patient needs and preferences. Learn more about to use the different coping modes in your practice.
-
This mode focuses on active distraction and engagement.
Coping by Distraction helps patients manage stress by shifting attention away from the procedure and into an interactive experience. By squeezing the device, the patient activates music and audiovisual feedback, creating an engaging focus during treatment.
This helps patients stay calm and involved, supporting emotional regulation and transforming the experience into active participation.
This interactive experience keeps the patient actively engaged and helps transform treatment from a passive experience into active participation.
-
This mode provides continuous feedback, safety, and control.
Coping by Feedback allows patients to communicate how they are feeling during the procedure, while also giving them a clear way to pause when needed. By squeezing the device, the patient adjusts audio and visual signals to indicate discomfort, while a firm squeeze and hold triggers a stop signal.
This gives clinicians real-time insight into how the patient is coping, enabling more responsive and confident care.

Healthcare that supports whole human beings
Our healthcare system saves lives. But it also triggers something deeply human: uncertainty and vulnerability.
When people feel stress or uncertainty, they instinctively grasp something.
Grasp is grounded in evidence-based coping strategies and builds on this simple human instinct. It gives patients something natural to hold during treatment, helping them cope, communicate, and stay engaged in care.
Whatever challenge your patients face, we are here to help them cope with confidence.
-
Grasp was founded by two clinicians who, over years of practice, repeatedly saw the same challenge: patient fear was recognized, but rarely managed in a way that strengthened confidence and lasting trust.
-
By combining clinical insight with proven coping strategies, Grasp gives patients a simple way to express and manage their emotions in real time. Helping them feel safer, more in control, and better supported during care.
-
We collaborate with dental clinics, primary care providers, emergency departments, and hospitals committed to delivering calmer, more confident care.

Grasp was created with one clear mission: to make healthcare truly work for patients.
Founded by two brothers - a dentist and a doctor, we believe care should go beyond treating symptoms. It should empower, connect, and transform every experience.
Through years of clinical practice, we noticed the same pattern again and again. Patient fear was acknowledged, but the underlying stress response was rarely addressed in a way that built confidence and trust.
By combining clinical insight with proven coping strategies, Grasp gives patients a simple, intuitive way to regulate their emotional response in real time.
By placing control back in patients’ hands, Grasp helps turn uncertainty into confidence and treatment into trust.
