Through its Series A funding round, the company raised $30m and developed a research-based pipeline of adolescent products.

Limbix has developed a digital therapeutic called SparkRx to provide a neurobehavioral intervention (cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) – behavioural activation) for patients aged between 13 and 22 years as an adjunct treatment for depression symptoms.

Supported by trial data showing a clinically meaningful reduction in depression symptoms, the self-guided CBT-based treatment is intended to teach skills such as mindfulness, problem-solving, behavioural activation and mood tracking.

The US Food and Drug Administration has not granted clearance or approval for SparkRx.
