BURLINGTON, Mass. and JERUSALEM, March 02, 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 it has been named to Fast Company’s prestigious annual list of the World’s Most Innovative Companies for 2023.
This year’s list highlights the businesses at the forefront of their respective industries, paving the way for the innovations of tomorrow. These companies selected by Fast Company are setting the standard with some of the greatest accomplishments of the modern world.
“We are deeply honored to be named a ‘World’s Most Innovative Company’ by Fast Company,” stated Hadar Levy, BrainsWay’s Chief Executive Officer. “This award recognizes the innovation we display each day. Through innovation, we are working to create a world where mental health is within reach for all. We owe our success as a team to more than just having the best technology and platform. Our customers believe in us, and, ultimately, allow us to serve more patients with truly transformative new therapies for all people struggling with brain disorders.”
Fast Company Editor-in-Chief Brendan Vaughan said, “This year’s list compiles some of the most cutting-edge groundbreakers who are changing our world every single day, from legacy organizations like McDonald’s to upstarts like MrBeast and institutions such as NASA. Everyone on this list does something completely, uniquely different, yet, they all have one thing in common: innovation.”
BrainsWay is recognized with the award for its innovative work in treating adults suffering from major depressive disorder. In August of 2022, the Company received clearance from the FDA to treat depression with the Company’s H7 Coil, giving clinicians another powerful nonpharmaceutical tool to treat depression in addition to the H1 Coil.
The Company is also recognized for publishing key research data in two leading peer-reviewed industry journals highlighting the durability and cost-effectiveness of Deep TMS treatment for patients coping with obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). In recognition of the value that BrainsWay Deep TMS brings to patients backed by clinical data, several major health insurance providers extended coverage for OCD patients in 2022. This brought the total number of lives covered for Deep TMS treatment of OCD to 90 million.
The “World’s Most Innovative Companies” list is Fast Company’s signature franchise and one of its most highly anticipated editorial efforts of the year. It provides a firsthand look at the inspiring and innovative efforts of companies across all sectors of the economy.
