The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted approval for Caputron Medical’s mindGear headset for the treatment of serious psychiatric diseases such as depression, insomnia and anxiety.
After more than five years of therapy optimisation and clinical testing, mindGear was approved to provide patients immediate and lasting relief through a drug-free therapy.

For many patients with psychiatric diseases, drug-based treatments do not provide sufficient relief and cause severe side effects.
Caputron’s mindGear is a small battery powered device that connects to the head via special hydroPod electrodes. It is a neuromodulation therapy that gently activates the brain in a way that encourages endogenous healing.
Caputron Medical US sales vice-president Jennifer Higgins said: “mindGear represents a major advance in the wearable tech and digital health space.
“Portable, personal, and customisable, mindGear is both a consumer and medical neuromodulation device.”
