OUR RESEARCH APPROACH
Highest research standards for the highest quality of evidence
We continuously conduct clinical studies to evaluate the efficacy and safety of our medical devices at the highest level. In doing so, we strictly adhere to regulatory requirements (e.g. MDR, MPDG and ISO 14155), which are incorporated into our compliance measures for the introduction of new products or product versions. Good clinical practice is not just a phrase, but is actively lived.
Our ongoing studies
We are currently conducting several studies to investigate the efficacy of our applications or to explore new methods that will shape tomorrow's psychotherapy.
