A headset and app combination has launched in the U.K. to treat depression.
The headset, developed by Swedish medical device company Flow, relies on a non-invasive form of brain stimulation that sends gentle electric currents into patients’ left frontal lobe in order to “rebalance” their neural activity, according to the company’s website. Categorized as a Class IIa medical device, it’s certified by the British Standards Institute to treat depression in Europe.
