The 'Check Engine Light' for PTSD:
A New Approach to Mental Fitness

Fazil Osman, July 29, 2025 

The 2-Dooz team is excited to share insights from a recent Public Service Announcement (PSA) video promoting our innovative PTSD Clinical Study. This project brought together a remarkable group dedicated to mental wellness, particularly for our frontline heroes.

In the PSA, Tommy Gomes, a renowned San Diego advocate for American fishermen and Host of “The Fishmonger” on Outdoor Channel, sat down with two individuals who understand the profound impact of trauma firsthand: Lieutenant Ken Impellizeri, a retired SDPD SWAT Commanding Officer, and Dan McClain, a retired SDFD Firefighter, Paramedic, and Special Forces Veteran.

Watch the full video to learn more about this groundbreaking approach.

During our discussions about 2-Dooz's smart ring powered app technology and its potential for proactive mental health support, Tommy–known for his direct communication–intuitively grasped its core benefit. He perfectly articulated it: "You mean it's a check engine light for PTSD?"

Precisely. Our system is engineered to function as an early-warning system, designed to detect an impending crisis, regardless of the trigger, even before conscious awareness. By providing these real-time alerts, we aim to empower individuals with PTSD to intervene proactively, potentially mitigating symptoms before they escalate.

The engine warning-light analogy powerfully captures our mission at 2-Dooz: to provide scientifically sound, accessible tools that empower individuals to monitor and improve their mental well-being.  And, the exciting news is, this novel system is now being tested.

Recruitment is officially underway for this first-of-its-kind clinical study!  If you are tired of living in constant vigilance and are looking for a new, proactive path to manage your PTSD symptoms, we invite you to learn more.
