Founded in 2023 by Dhawal Jain, Jai Sharma & Aman Kumar, Mave Health aims to build human-centric evidence based programmes for mental well-being. The startup’s flagship product Arc is designed to improve brain health and treat depression. The device is developed in collaboration with a team of top experts, including neuroscientists, psychiatrists, and psychologists from Harvard Medical School, Maastricht University and other leading research institutes. Over the past few months, during the beta phase, more than 1000 individuals have used Arc and have seen substantial improvements in their depression symptoms. The technology behind Arc has been studied for over two decades and shows promising results in cognitive improvement and depression treatment.

Currently, Mave Health’s flagship wearable Arc can be accessed by enrolling in Mave Health’s 12-week long programme which also offers unlimited sessions with their experts, including doctors, psychologists, nutritionists, and fitness coaches.
