Abstract
Daniel Mansson is a clinical psychologist, cofounder and CEO of Flow. As a clinical psychologist at Sarpsborg DPS, a psychiatric clinic in Norway, Daniel performed extensive investigations and treatments for patients with conditions including depression and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. In 2012, Daniel met Erik Rehn, where they both worked in the research department of computational biology at KTH Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm. In January 2016, with combined backgrounds in clinical psychology, computer networks, computational neuroscience and electrical engineering, they launched Flow. The mission was simple: to find new ways to treat mental health issues with the help of science and technology. Based in Malmo, Sweden, Daniel is the driving force behind Flow and spearheads the research, innovation and business development.

I read more about a type of treatment where weak electrical currents are sent into the brain to activate neural activity
It soon became apparent that we were at an important point, scientifically, were we where able to use this method for the treatment of depression. Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) was proven safe and efficient to treat patients at home, without the many side effects that usually accompany a medication approach
Flow, combines a brain stimulation headset and virtual therapy app, which helps users to change their behaviour in four areas; sleep, exercise, nutrition and meditation – each of which are supported by a large body of clinical evidence
