Sooma's newest system makes neurostimulation for depression accessible, cost-effective and available for home use.
HELSINKI, Oct. 26, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Sooma Medical, a leading non-invasive neuromodulation company, announces the launch of its new system for the remote treatment of depression, Sooma Duo. Comprised of a medical device, a treatment management platform and a patient app, the system brings remote monitoring and patient guidance to neuromodulation, enabling medication-free depression treatments for patients who cannot access traditional services in the clinic and thus promoting equitable access to treatment for all patients.
Highlights include:
Depression is the most common mental health condition among the general population, affecting more than 300 million people worldwide, according to the WHO*. Furthermore, it is estimated that 50% of those suffering from depression will not receive adequate treatment. Sooma's innovative new system is designed to expand access to depression treatment by providing clinicians with a drug-free therapeutic option that patients can safely self-administer in their own homes. This allows neuromodulation treatments to be prescribed similarly to traditional antidepressants, making them more accessible and cost-effective.

"Depression is the leading cause of disability in modern society. However, patients often do not have timely access to effective treatment," said Tuomas Neuvonen, CEO of Sooma. "Duo represents a significant step forward in making depression treatment more accessible by providing healthcare professionals with a versatile tool to combat this epidemic."
Sooma Duo is based on transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), a recognized and effective depression treatment. Unlike other neuromodulation therapies for this condition, which require a healthcare professional to treat patients individually with a clinical device, Sooma Duo provides doctors with the ability to care for many patients at once while monitoring remotely. the benefits and compliance of treatment.
