Though the brain fuels our body’s health, it remains a missing piece in many wellness plans. In fact, we’re only beginning to understand how brain health can ripple through every part of our well-being.
Marbles Health is setting out to change that by combining ancient wisdom and innovation. It aims to make brain strength a core part of modern healthcare.
“EASE” Marbles’ flagship product is an excellent example of how technology has the potential to change the future of brain wellness.
Read on to discover how Marbles Health is reshaping brain wellness.
Product and Potential: EASE and Marbles Application
Marbles Health’s flagship product, EASE, is India’s first portable, non-invasive brain stimulation device to treat depression.
EASE stands for Executive Functioning and Affective Salience through Stimulation and EEG.
This groundbreaking device combines advanced technologies like tES (transcranial electrical stimulation), EEG (electroencephalography), and cognitive-emotional training to deliver a powerful, data-driven alternative to traditional treatments.
Founder and CEO Ramya Yellapragada says “EASE has shown a remarkable 63.8% reduction in depression symptoms within just 10 days of use.” This highlights EASE’s rapid impact on mental healthcare.
As a proud Made-in-India innovation, EASE has received official approval from the Central Drugs Standard Control Organisation (CDSCO), India’s leading authority on medical devices. It is India’s first neuromodulation device to get CDSCO approval.
Marbles App
Complementing EASE, the Marbles Application offers digital support to enhance mental resilience. The startup is going to launch its app with a focus on Oncology. It aims to become a dedicated mental health support for cancer patients.
Cancer is not just a physical ailment. Patients face profound emotional and mental challenges, leading to distress in most cases. Marbles aims to help cancer patients effectively manage distress and develop emotional resilience with its flagship product.
Along with EASE, the Marbles app will empower users to strengthen their mental well-being with psychological and behavioural interventions designed to improve treatment outcomes. It also aims to reduce cancer recurrence and enhance overall quality of life.
