With 75%3 of patients wanting a drug-free depression treatment, and over 1.4 million in the UK alone waiting to see a therapist4, an alternative depression treatment is needed.
Flow is the first clinically validated platform that delivers an effective1, drug-free depression treatment that directly targets the physical causes of depression from the comfort of patient homes. Combining a safe, easy-to-use brain stimulation wearable with a guided app program and overarching clinician remote monitoring portal, Flow’s engineers and clinicians have created a measurable alternative depression treatment.
For the majority taking antidepressants, side effects are inevitable5. Studies show that antidepressants often impact libido, appetite and energy levels6.
Depression treatment can be side effect free. tDCS longitudinal studies report no major adverse events7. Flow’s real-world data also shows less than 2% (from 7500+ patients) reporting minor side effects such as headaches and skin irritation2.

In the largest tDCS study to date, 24% of patients go into remission, while 41% had a clinical response after 6 weeks of using this technique14.
Within a few weeks, the Flow treatment is associated with supporting improvements in mood, concentration, optimism and initiative, while reducing anxiety and suicidal thoughts2.
