Problem
Access to transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) therapy is limited by the need for clinic‑based equipment, trained staff, and consumable supplies, making regular at‑home treatment costly and logistically challenging for patients and clinicians.
Solution
PlatoScience offers wireless, fully integrated tDCS headsets that can be configured and monitored remotely by clinicians. The devices are CE‑marked (EU MDR for the depression‑specific model) and designed for plug‑and‑play use, eliminating the need for expensive consumables and complex setup. Clinicians use a companion smartphone app to upload personalized stimulation protocols, start sessions, and view real‑time safety data, while patients wear the headset at home under professional oversight. The system supports both a depression‑approved headset (PlatoCare) and a generic research model (PlatoWork), enabling flexible integration into existing clinical workflows and research studies. All data are transmitted securely for compliance and auditability, allowing safe, cost‑predictable delivery of neurostimulation therapy outside the clinic.
Target Audience
Primary customers are mental‑health clinicians and researchers who require supervised, at‑home tDCS treatment for depression or experimental protocols, as well as tele‑health providers integrating neurostimulation into remote care pathways.
