The Superdevice for Depression

Fisher Wallace Labs is the leading developer of wearable brain stimulation technology for the treatment of depression and other neuropsychiatric and cognitive disorders. The commercial version of our Version 2.0 technology, called OAK, was designed in collaboration with the teams behind Beats and Nest, and is intended to become the first “superdevice” for mental health that achieves smartphone scale.

Clinically Proven

Fisher Wallace completed a 255-subject, triple-blind, randomized, sham-controlled trial that demonstrated rapid effectiveness in treating depression (highly effective in the first seven days) without causing serious side effects; results will be published in The Journal of Clinical Psychiatry. We are now collaborating with world-class researcher partners to conduct a final study for FDA approval. Building towards a future in which our technology is approved to treat a universe of conditions, Fisher Wallace recently completed an anxiety treatment study with the Seattle Police Department, and is currently applying for an Alzheimer’s research award.
