Swedish firm Flow Neuroscience has added to its portfolio of brain stimulation technologies for improving mental wellbeing by acquiring US start-up Halo Neuroscience.
With the acquisition of Halo’s neurostimulation headset, as well as its R&D efforts and patents, Flow believes it can become a leader in the application of transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) to treat depression and other mental health disorders.
Swedish start-up company Flow created the first brain stimulation headset in Europe to be registered as a medical device for treating depression at home, gaining a CE mark and BSI accreditation in 2019.
