What they do

Problem

Non-invasive brain stimulation for depression and other neurological disorders is largely confined to hospitals because current devices are expensive and complex to administer.

Solution

A proprietary at-home, non-invasive brain stimulation device that enables patients to receive hospital-equivalent treatment remotely at lower cost.

Who it's for

Patients receiving treatment for major depressive disorder (and potentially Alzheimer's or Parkinson's) who can use the device at home under clinical supervision.
