In this episode of the MedTech 101 podcast, host Rodney Moses sits down with Erin Lee, CEO of Flow Neuroscience, to talk about how technology is changing the way we treat mental health.

Erin shares the story behind Flow’s groundbreaking device that uses gentle brain stimulation to treat depression, without relying on traditional antidepressants. Together, they discuss the challenges of drug-based therapies and Flow’s mission to make mental health treatment more effective, affordable, and accessible.

Erin also opens up about her unconventional journey into medtech, from her time at leading tech firms to her eye-opening experience at Babylon Health, which shaped her vision for digital health innovation.

The conversation dives into how Flow operates as a Scandinavian company with a global footprint, spanning the UK, EU, and now expanding into the U.S. market. Erin explains the regulatory hurdles they face, how they navigate them, and what it takes to bring such a device to different regions.

She also talks about Flow’s wearable headset — a clinically proven, non-drug treatment that uses targeted electrical stimulation to improve mood. Finally, Erin reflects on the future of mental health care, where AI and medtech could work together to deliver more personalized and accessible treatments for people everywhere.
