Neuromodulation developer Halo Neuroscience closes its doors; Flow Neuroscience acquires assets

Flow acquires brain stimulation technology developer Halo (Medical Device Network): Flow Neuroscience has acquired the assets of brain stimulation technology developer Halo Neuroscience to advance its research into depression and other mental health disorder treatments. The financial details of the deal have not been disclosed. Using Halo’s research in neuromodulation field, Flow Neuroscience plans to enhance its current medically certified tDCS headset for depression … A form of neuromodulation, tDCS uses constant, low direct current delivered via electrodes on the head. In July 2019, Flow announced that it raised $1.5m towards its transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) device for the treatment of depression.
