HOW SAINT WORKS

Treating depression in days, not weeks.

SAINT is an advanced, targeted form of TMS therapy that uses precision neuromodulation to deliver rapid and lasting remission from Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in an accelerated, 5-day treatment.

The fMRI scan creates a unique map of your brain’s neural circuitry in about 45 minutes, allowing SAINT to target your depression precisely.

Our targeting algorithm uses the brain scan to map out the perfect location to deliver effective stimulation and treat your depression more precisely.

SAINT TMS treatment takes just five days. Each day consists of ten 10-minute sessions per day, with 50-minute breaks in between. Most people begin to feel a change in their mood within just a couple of days.

Built with purpose, backed by science.

We weren’t satisfied with the limits of traditional mental health care, so we set out to create a rapid-acting therapy grounded in innovation and personalization.

FDA cleared

SAINT received Breakthrough Device Designation, recognizing its potential to make life-changing treatment and remission more accessible to patients.

Developed at Stanford

SAINT was developed by psychiatrists and neuroscientists at Stanford’s Brain Stimulation Lab, driven by a mission to reimagine psychiatry and transform how brain conditions are treated.

“SAINT removed the depression I carried for years. It did not erase my problems; it changed how my brain responds to them. That change is the difference between “barely coping” and actually living my life.”

Alan S.

SAINT Patient

“I’m a scientist, I’m skeptical of a lot of things. And I don’t believe there’s any magic wand. We have to be really careful about how we interpret things, but SAINT is the closest thing I’ve seen to that magic wand.”

Mohammed Ahmed, MD

Clinical Director, Salma Health

“A few days after I started the treatment…. I went out walking and shopping. Music sounded a little sweeter. I got hungry, which for me is a good sign because I have a hard time eating when I feel depressed or anxious. You feel changes the week you do the treatment.”

Caroline N.

SAINT Patient

“There’s always been a concern that if it works fast, maybe it doesn’t work very well. But here we had a wonderful confluence of strong data showing that not only did people get their treatment done in a very short period of time, but that they had a very high probability of getting not just well, not just to response – but actually to remission.”

Ian Cook, MD, DLFAPA

Founding Director & CEO, Los Angeles TMS Institute

“Because of SAINT, my daughter’s depression became so much less dangerous, the suicidal ideation has disappeared, and she hasn’t taken any antidepressants since. I believe this technology is the best, and I think more people need to know about it. This could be the best solution we have to cure MDD.”
