What we offer
User-friendly tDCS Devices
PlatoWork tDCS headset for complementary treatment either in your clinic or or at your client’s home.
Clinical TES Certification
Get certified in the clinical applications and protocols of TES technology and the PlatoWork tDCS headset.
Supporting Mental Healthcare
The PlatoWork headset uses TES technology. TES stands for transcranial electrical stimulation (commonly also referred to as tDCS or tACS) and is an evidence-based, non-invasive, neuromodulation technique for supporting the treatment of psychiatric and psychological conditions. TES can be beneficially combined with other forms of treatment e.g. pharmacological interventions or psychotherapy.
PlatoScience products are not standalone treatments but supportive tools for professional healthcare providers.
Suggested Clinical applications
Depression
There is level A evidence (definitely effective) for TES stimulation over the left prefrontal cortex to improve depression symptoms. No specific tasks are required by the client while wearing the TES headset and they can use the device in the comfort of their own home.
Cravings and addiction
There is level B evidence (probably effective) for TES stimulation over the right prefrontal cortex to reduce cravings in various addiction disorders (nicotine, alcohol, cannabis, cocaine, gambling, etc).
TMS Maintenance
Following successful TMS treatment, TES stimulation can be a valuable tool in order to prevent relapse and maintain the mental health of your patients.

Neuromodulation with TES
The brain is fascinating.
It constantly changes and adapts to demands that it receives. This process is called neuroplasticity which means the brain is constantly changing and creating new connections to improve information processing capabilities.
TES enhances neuroplasticity by accelerating the rate of change and working with the brain to reach higher levels of connectivity faster. It delivers a microcurrent to the regions of the brain that include mood, attention, motor control, working memory and other higher cognitive functions.
The PlatoWork headset uses a type of TES called tDCS. In tDCS, two or more electrodes are placed on the scalp and a weak current is sent between them.
Where the current enters, neuronal firing increases. Where the current exits, the firing decreases.
tDCS has level A and level B evidence for a number of treatments, and the PlatoWork headset makes it easy for any clinician to offer this technology as a supportive tool for existing treatments.
