Provider of Mental Health Services with Focus on Military Community Orders 10 New Deep TMS™ Systems

BURLINGTON, Mass. and JERUSALEM, Sept. 20, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- BrainsWay Ltd. (NASDAQ & TASE: BWAY) (“BrainsWay” or the “Company”), a global leader in advanced noninvasive neurostimulation treatments for mental health disorders, today announced that its longstanding partner, Katie’s Way Plus, which provides comprehensive mental health services tailored to the unique needs of active duty military members, veterans, and their families, has ordered an additional 10 Deep Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (Deep TMS™) systems, which will more than double its existing offering.

“This is yet another demonstration of our strategic focus on larger enterprise customers across the U.S.,” said Eric Hirt, VP U.S. Sales of BrainsWay. “The strategic collaboration between BrainsWay and Katie's Way Plus is poised to make a substantial impact on addressing the critical and unique mental health issues faced by military personnel by providing world-class care to those who have served their country and are in need of advanced solutions to address their specialized conditions.”

“We are thrilled to support Katie's Way Plus in its vital mission to provide focused care to U.S. service members, veterans, and their families,” said Hadar Levy, Chief Executive Officer of BrainsWay. “BrainsWay's advanced Deep TMS technology has demonstrated remarkable clinical efficacy in treating depression, and we are confident that this expansion will bring hope and healing to many U.S. service members.”

“Katie's Way was founded in memory of my daughter, Katie, who tragically lost her battle with depression,” said Jeff Mathis, Founder of Katie’s Way. “Our goal is to ensure that no other family needs to endure such pain. These additional BrainsWay systems will allow us to extend our reach, offer hope, and ultimately save lives.”

Depression is a contributing factor to suicide, which is a particularly pressing concern within the military community. September is Suicide Prevention Month, which helps raise awareness to the fact that 22 U.S. military veterans take their lives each dayi.

BrainsWay Deep TMS is delivered via a unique treatment coil housed in a cushioned, patient and provider-friendly helmet. The patient is awake, alert, and engaged during the treatment session, and each session only takes less than 30 minutes from start to finish. For some patients, a shorter three-minute intermittent theta burst (iTBS) protocol is also an option. Most candidates for Deep TMS depression treatment have already failed multiple courses of medication and talk therapy, and in a recently published post-marketing analysis of close to 1,400 patients, those patients who had received 30 or more treatments of Deep TMS demonstrated an 82% response rate and a 65% remission rateii.
