Our Story
Learn more about our founder and history to deliver best practice mental healthcare and performance solutions through our global network
Empowering best practice since 2015
"We listened to the need of clinicians and patients telling us clinical practice needs to become more psychosomatic and empower them to use innovation such as rTMS or integrate sleep. In OECD countries only about 25% of patients have access to therapy. Our DTP addresses both issues - better clinician outcomes and better access for patients."
Tom Mechtersheimer - Founder & CEO, neurocare
Our Best Practice Platform
neurocare’s proprietary platform empowers clinicians to deliver best practice by integrating technology, training, software and services. This gives clinicians the tools to address the underlying cause of mental illness, harnessing the brain’s natural ability to rewire for lasting change.
We are able to test and develop this in our own clinics with growth and expansion planned across all regions and in new locations. We embrace and integrate all innovative and proven services from neuroscience and mental health, and look to future treatments, such as psychedelics, so we can embed them in our platform with the best effects.
Best outcomes for patients
The cornerstone of neurocare treatments is to offer fully personalised and best practice services, factoring in brain activity, sleep, biomarkers and other lifestyle factors and metrics to deliver a completely tailored and individualised program. We are pioneers in now long-established neuromodulation methods such as TMS (Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation) and Neurofeedback and offer these in our clinics as well as training to other professionals via our platform.
We embrace and integrate all innovative and proven services from neuroscience and mental health. We are active in science, technology manufacturing and further development of SOPs in our leading clinics worldwide. We are already active in the space of psychedelics and look to future integrations within our platform to empower more and more clinicians to deliver these innovative services, more effectively, sustainably and with the best commercial outcomes.
