Proven and safe
Backed by 25+ years
of research.
Flow uses a technology called tDCS (or transcranial Direct Current Stimulation). This has been used in clinics for over 25 years, and has been proven to be safe and effective across multiple independent trials.
You can access a Flow trial if you live in West London, Northamptonshire or Leicestershire and you meet the qualifying criteria, or if you are an NHS clinician suffering from low mood.
Every NHS service using the headset has independently published their findings, demonstrating that Flow is safe and effective to use. A Crisis Service reported up to a 75% drop in feelings about self harm when patients were using the headset.
How it works
A non-invasive headset
Research shows that low mood is linked to reduced activity in key areas of the brain that regulate mood and emotion. Flow works with your brain's natural electrical signals to gently stimulate these regions, helping to relieve low mood symptoms.
While traditional treatments focused on chemical imbalances, modern neuroscience has revealed that low mood is more complex. Recent research shows that directly targeting brain activity can be an effective approach to managing low mood symptoms.
Flow in action
Supported by
NHS doctors and leading academics
"Flow has gained popularity among our patients. This positive reception speaks volumes about the effectiveness and patient satisfaction associated with Flow."
"The use of neuromodulation techniques such as tDCS and TMS provide an alternative and effective treatment for that group of patients who are very difficult to manage with medication."
"Flow's results show a clear separation of active and sham treatment in a large, multisite randomised controlled trial... A very promising development in mental health treatment."

Is Flow for me?
Combine with antidepressants
Flow doesn’t interfere with medicines you may be taking and is generally safe to use if you have other medical conditions or if you suffer with other mental health conditions.
Flow can be used in adults who have a diagnosis of mild to severe low mood. Always talk to a doctor before you make any changes to your treatment, or if you are pregnant, have a skull problem or metal in your brain, cochlear implants or brain pacemaker, epilepsy/seizures, a device implanted in your body or a skin condition affecting your forehead.
