The Bright Future of Mental Healthcare
Fisher Wallace Labs is a wearable brain stimulation startup seeking regulatory approval in the US and Europe for the treatment of depression. Our recently completed triple-blind, randomized, controlled trial demonstrated rapid effectiveness in women. The commercial version of our Version 2.0 technology, called OAK, will be manufactured in 2024.
100,000 Devices Sold
Under temporary FDA clearance, Fisher Wallace distributed 100,000 Version 1.0 devices via 14,000 prescribers, and was named one of "5 Health-Tech Startups to Watch" by Entrepreneur magazine. Over 77% of our customers intend to use our technology for the rest of their lives to maintain mental health and cognitive performance.
Rewiring the Standard of Care
In 2020, 49.4 million years of life were burdened by (or lost as a result of) clinical depression. Fisher Wallace intends to obtain FDA approval and a CE Mark for the treatment of depression, and scale its wearable solution until it achieves smartphone-level ubiquity.
