75%12 of patients want a drug-free depression treatment. Over 1.4 million in the UK alone are waiting to see a therapist13.
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 clinician remote monitoring portal, Flow’s engineers and clinicians have created a measurable alternative
depression treatment.
Remission rates in our clinical trial show 56% are depression-free at 10 weeks3.
Within a few weeks, the Flow treatment is associated with supporting improvements in mood, concentration, optimism and initiative, while reducing anxiety and suicidal thoughts2.
Full clinical trial results will be released in Autumn 2023.
Our latest clinical trial shows that Flow is twice as effective as antidepressants. Using an odds ratio to measure the difference in effect between treatment and placebo, Flow has an odds ratio of 3.113 Vs Antidepressants at 1.684.
Other clinical studies show that tDCS is as effective as antidepressants as well as TMS5-6.
Our first clinical trial shows remission rates of 56% after 10 weeks3 while clinical trials reviewing antidepressants show a remission rate of 40%7-8.
For the majority taking antidepressants, side effects are inevitable9. Studies show that antidepressants often impact libido, appetite and energy levels10.
Depression treatment can be side effect free. tDCS longitudinal studies report no major adverse events11. Flow’s real-world data also shows less than 2% (from 7500+ patients) reporting minor side effects such as headaches and skin irritation2.

Having been used to offering rTMS to patients as a last resort, it is very liberating to be able to offer Flow as one of several initial treatment choices. Patients find it very easy to use and I love the fact that I can monitor their use using a validated scale.

We have found Flow incredibly useful for supporting clients... The clinician interface is very user friendly and allows us access to monitor client progress remotely without the need for multiple phone-calls.
