Wave Neuroscience and Wounded Warrior Project Team Up on Operation Synchrony to Help Active-Duty Service Members and Veterans Improve Mental Wellness

Joint initiative will provide a one-month outpatient program focusing on Braincare™

NEWPORT BEACH, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wave Neuroscience, a company focused on innovative, personalized treatments for optimal brain health and well-being, today announced a new collaboration with Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) to provide Braincare™ services to Active-Duty Service Members and Veterans. Operation Synchrony is a one-month, outpatient program focused on restoring and optimizing neuronal function utilizing individualized neuromodulation. The initiative will run for 12 months and will treat 120 post-9/11 service members and veterans, with the potential to treat as many as 160.

“It is an honor to work with Wounded Warrior Project on this initiative,” said Fred Walke, CEO of Wave Neuroscience. “Some of the most transformative results we’ve seen using personalized Braincare have been with military veterans and active-duty service members. The ability to provide care to these individuals, who selflessly served to protect our country, is deeply important to us.”

Combining the best of science, medicine and technology, Wave Neuroscience has innovated the future of mental and cognitive health, and it is personalized Braincare™. This technology focuses on brainwaves and first-order principles of physics, rather than diagnosing and treating based on subjective symptoms & behaviors. Wave Neuroscience objectively analyzes the brain utilizing quantitative-EEG (q-EEG) and uses this data to detect functional disruptions to brainwave activity and create personalized, non-pharmaceutical, and non-invasive treatment plans using transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS), an FDA-cleared technology. TMS is a safe, drug-free treatment that can be customized to improve the synchrony of your brain waves, and therefore your cognitive health.

For the past several years, Special Operations Forces were able to access this technology through benevolent organizations. By joining with WWP on this initiative, Wave Neuroscience can make Braincare™ accessible to a growing number of military service members so that they can also benefit from this transformative technology.

“Wounded Warrior Project is deeply committed to providing access to care and treatment to heal the invisible wounds of war, including brain injury and post-traumatic stress. Through our work with Wave Neuroscience, the warriors we serve will have access to an innovative treatment to improve brain health, and therefore improve the quality of life for those who sacrificed so much in defense of our great nation,” said Alex Balbir, Ph.D., director of Independence Services at Wounded Warrior Project.

“This represents a truly promising and innovative approach to precision-guided and personalized Braincare,” said Dr. Erik Won, Chief Medical Officer of Wave Neuroscience and a prior US Navy Flight Surgeon who served with the 11th Marine Expeditionary Unit (Special Operations Capable). “We’re leveraging decades of research and evidence-based medicine to provide customized treatment protocols unique to each individual. It’s an extraordinary blessing and honor to collaborate with Wounded Warrior Project to help those who served within our military community.”

Those participating in Operation Synchrony must be able to make daily visits to Brain Treatment Center or Braincare Performance Center(s) in Newport Beach, San Diego or Encinitas. Interested veterans are encouraged to apply for participation by visiting braintreatmentcenter.com/wwp.
