People living with depression worldwide (2019).
Non-invasive neuromodulation · designed for the EU MDR Class IIa pathway
A breakthrough wearable
for depression & anxiety.
BioVie Beam delivers clinically studied transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) in a lightweight, app-free headband — built for health systems to scale, not the shelf.
people worldwide live with depression or anxiety — treatable conditions where access and capacity, not the science, are the binding constraints.
The problem
Depression and anxiety are outpacing the systems meant to treat them.
Hundreds of millions of people are affected, with major knock-on effects on health systems and economies. Demand keeps rising — but access and clinician capacity are the binding constraints.

The device
Meet BioVie Beam.
A next-generation wearable that treats depression and anxiety with transcranial direct current stimulation — a gentle, non-invasive current to the brain regions that regulate mood, delivered through providers and engineered for public-health deployment.
- Clinically aligned — designed for the EU MDR Class IIa pathway and NHS reimbursement
- Headband fit, app-free operation; suitable across tech-ability levels
- Provider-first: B2B only, with optional clinician connectivity for oversight
- Cost-effective & reusable — one device supports multiple episodes
How it works
Home-based care that fits real-world pathways.
Clear protocols, delivered via providers — not direct-to-consumer.
-
01
Prescribe & onboard
Patients receive the device through a provider pathway — for example NHS Talking Therapies or primary care.
-
02
Guided sessions
Short sessions at home with a simple interface and optional clinician connectivity for monitoring.
-
03
Measure outcomes
Standard scales and real-world evidence support reimbursement, safety and continuous iteration.
Why Beam
Built for outcomes, access, and the bottom line.
Clinically aligned
Designed for the EU MDR Class IIa pathway and NHS reimbursement requirements.
Simple patient experience
Headband fit and app-free operation — suitable for patients across every level of tech ability.
Provider-first model
B2B only (no direct-to-consumer), with optional clinician connectivity for oversight.
Cost-effective & reusable
A single device supports multiple episodes and reduces per-patient delivery cost.
Payer-grade evidence
Built to generate the outcomes and health-economic data that reimbursement requires.
4× return
For every $1 invested in scaling evidence-based treatment for depression & anxiety.
The evidence
Not a gadget. A clinically-backed therapy.

The difference
Where other tDCS devices stalled, Beam was built to scale.
Strong evidence has never been the problem. Reaching health systems has. Beam is engineered around reimbursement and clinical integration from day one.
Consumer tDCS devices
- Sold direct-to-consumer, bypassing medical oversight
- Low clinical confidence, no reimbursement route
- No structured protocols or remote monitoring
- Poorly suited to psychiatry or primary care
BioVie Beam
- B2B-only — delivered through health providers
- Reimbursement-ready clinical & health-economic evidence
- Optional clinician connectivity & remote monitoring
- Designed for EU MDR Class IIa and NHS pathways
Go-to-market
From an NHS wedge to EU and US scale.
Win a high-need public-health wedge — UK Talking Therapies — then scale into EU payers and beyond, with a single payer and clear pathways providing strong reference value.
United Kingdom
The wedge. A single payer with defined pathways; tailored to NHS requirements and progressing toward reimbursement.
United States
FDA's Dec 2025 approval of the first at-home tDCS device de-risks the category. ~21M US adults have a major depressive episode each year.
Germany
Europe's most advanced market for prescribable digital therapies through the DiGA pathway.
France
Expanded funding for psychological and telemedicine services suits non-drug, home-based care.
Nordics
High digital-health adoption; Finland has already piloted tDCS in national health settings.
saved each year at 5% of IAPT referrals (~90,156 patients) — £801 per referral switched. Every +1% ≈ £14.4m.
Implementation
A regulatory-aligned route to market.
