Summer Internship - Mental Health Startup [UX/UI & Business]

Our mission

Today, more people die from suicide than from war, crime and terrorism combined.

Our mission is to develop new ways to combat mental health issues with science and technology.

Our first product, Flow (https://flowneuroscience.com/), is a medication-free treatment for depression, the leading cause of disability in the world. It combines a brain stimulation headset and an app-based therapy program to create a new effective, safe, and affordable way to treat depression at home.

Our team consists of neuroscientists, psychologists, animators, senior game developers and top management consultants.
