Overview
Wave Neuroscience is a United States neurotechnology company headquartered in Newport Beach, California. It develops technologies intended to help people understand and improve their own brain function without pharmaceuticals or invasive procedures, combining decades of medical research with targeted methodologies to broaden access to personalized healthcare solutions. The company frames its mission around redefining how cognitive health is understood and how mental health is managed, positioning objective brain data — rather than subjective symptom reporting — at the center of care. At the core of the company's offering is Braincare™, described as a singular SaaS platform that evaluates, informs and guides treatments for various mental and cognitive conditions. Braincare™ assesses what the company calls Neurodynamics™ through advanced neuroimaging and then delivers personalized treatment protocols via MeRT®. The MeRT® System — Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy — combines rapid electroencephalogram (EEG) assessments to analyze brain network function and then guide personalized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) protocols. According to the company, the MeRT® System is now FDA-cleared for the treatment of PTSD, a milestone it highlights prominently on its website. The MeRT process is presented in three steps. First, an eyes-closed 10-minute quantitative electroencephalogram (q-EEG) and an electrocardiogram (EKG) measure brainwave frequencies as well as heart rate and brain-heart coherence. Second, the brainwave recording is sent to the Wave Neuroscience cloud platform, where it is processed against a database of more than 60,000 brainwave recordings; the digital brain image is converted into an easy-to-interpret report with age- and gender-matched comparisons, and partners can use that report to generate a patient-specific care protocol and track progress over time. Third, if the report indicates the person can benefit from personalized brain stimulation, a protocol is generated from the brainwave recording data and delivered via in-clinic therapy — MeRT — with sessions occurring daily, five days per week for approximately 30 minutes over about one month, intelligently choreographing brainwave activity into a more synchronized state. Wave Neuroscience serves both individuals and clinicians. It offers a "Wave for Clinics" pathway and subscriber onboarding, and it invites practices to bring MeRT® into their operations or to find a provider. Testimonials on the company's site come from a professional surfer, a sports neurologist and Wave subscriber, a retired Navy SEAL and Medal of Honor recipient, and a medical director of a Brain Treatment Center, reflecting the company's positioning across performance, sports neurology, veteran mental health and clinical care. The company describes its vision as accessing and assessing objective data that enhances positive outcomes, taking a personalized approach to brain performance, and striving to make brain optimization technologies more accessible, understandable, viable and affordable. It says it serves "people, not patients." Wave Neuroscience is a private company; its site carries a copyright notice for Wave Neuroscience Inc. and references patents covering its technology.
History
Wave Neuroscience is a neurotechnology company based in Newport Beach, California, in the United States. Public information about the company is centered on its technology platform and clinical offering rather than on a long corporate chronology; the company presents itself as combining decades of medical research with targeted methodologies to create greater access to personalized healthcare solutions. The company's foundational idea is that mental health correlates to brain performance, and that objective measurement of brain activity can inform and guide treatment. To pursue this, Wave Neuroscience built Braincare™, described as a singular SaaS platform that evaluates, informs and guides treatments for various mental and cognitive conditions. Braincare™ assesses Neurodynamics™ through advanced neuroimaging and delivers personalized treatment protocols via MeRT®. The MeRT® System — Magnetic e-Resonance Therapy — is the company's flagship clinical technology. It combines rapid electroencephalogram (EEG) assessments to analyze brain network function and then guide personalized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) protocols. The workflow begins with an eyes-closed 10-minute quantitative electroencephalogram (q-EEG) and an electrocardiogram (EKG) that measure brainwave frequencies as well as heart rate and brain-heart coherence. The recording is then sent to the Wave Neuroscience cloud platform, where it is processed against a database of more than 60,000 brainwave recordings. The resulting digital brain image is converted into an easy-to-interpret report with deep insight and age- and gender-matched comparisons; partners can use that report to generate a patient-specific care protocol and track progress over time. Where the report indicates benefit from personalized brain stimulation, a protocol is generated from the brainwave recording data and delivered via in-clinic therapy, with sessions occurring daily, five days per week for approximately 30 minutes over about one month, choreographing brainwave activity into a more synchronized state. A significant regulatory milestone for the company is the FDA clearance of the MeRT® System for the treatment of PTSD, which Wave Neuroscience highlights on its homepage and on its MeRT product page. This clearance positions the technology within the mental health treatment landscape for a specific, serious condition. Commercially, Wave Neuroscience operates a dual model: it serves individuals seeking brain optimization and mental health support, and it serves clinicians through a "Wave for Clinics" pathway and subscriber onboarding, inviting practices to bring MeRT® into their operations or to find a provider. The company's published testimonials span professional sports performance, sports neurology, veteran mental health and clinical practice, illustrating the breadth of its intended applications. Its stated vision is to access and assess objective data that enhances positive outcomes, to take a personalized approach to brain performance, and to make brain optimization technologies more accessible, understandable, viable and affordable. The company says it serves "people, not patients." Wave Neuroscience is a private company; its website carries a copyright notice for Wave Neuroscience Inc. and references patents covering its technology.
