Mental wellness has become one of the most urgent health priorities in North America. Rates of anxiety, depression, and emotional dysregulation continue to climb, and more than half of adults with mental health concerns are unable to receive the treatment they need.¹ EXOMIND, a next-generation, FDA-cleared, non-invasive neuromodulation technology—has emerged as one of the most innovative solutions bridging this gap. Its patented ExoTMS™ system represents a major step forward in comfort, precision, and effectiveness within the transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) landscape.

In this article, we break down the technology, the research, and the real-world applications that make EXOMIND™ exceptionally well positioned to redefine modern mental wellness.

Why Mental Wellness Needs a New Approach with EXOMIND

Mental wellness is more than the absence of mental illness—it’s the foundation for emotional balance, decision-making, adaptability, self-control, motivation, and the ability to maintain healthy relationships.² Yet, traditional healthcare systems are struggling to keep pace with rising demand. Mental health is now the number one health concern among U.S. adults, surpassing obesity and cancer.³

At the same time:

• One in five North Americans has a mental health condition.
• Over half of adults are unable to receive treatment.
• Many are turning to integrative health, with 66% of adults reporting the use of complementary wellness approaches.⁴

Traditional TMS devices—while effective—have historically been limited by bulky designs, discomfort, long treatment times, and cumbersome navigation systems. EXOMIND™ was engineered specifically to overcome these challenges.

What Is EXOMIND?

EXOMIND™ is an FDA-cleared and Health Canada–licensed TMS platform designed to treat Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) in adults who have not responded adequately to antidepressant medications. It is also licensed for treatment of anxiety symptoms, OCD, and Binge Eating Disorder (BED).⁵

The device uses patented ExoTMS™ technology—a more advanced, comfortable, and efficient form of repetitive TMS (rTMS). Sessions are:

• Comfortable
• Drug-free
• Non-invasive
• Walk-in/walk-out
• Under 30 minutes
• Operator-independent

EXOMIND™ is the first major redesign of TMS technology in more than a decade, bringing improvements in precision, comfort, field strength, and operating efficiency.

The Science Behind Mental Wellness: Why the DLPFC Matters

EXOMIND™ targets the left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC)—the region responsible for executive functions such as emotional regulation, decision-making, focus, and self-control.⁶

In today’s high-stress environment, the DLPFC is prone to underactivity, leading to symptoms such as:

• Mood imbalance
• Difficulty concentrating
• Reduced impulse control
• Increased anxiety
• Emotional reactivity

By stimulating the DLPFC, EXOMIND™ works to reactivate neural pathways, restore balanced communication within the brain, and reestablish healthy emotional processing.

How EXOMIND Works: Neuroplasticity in Action

The human brain contains approximately 100 billion neurons, each firing electrical impulses that enable emotion, movement, thought, learning, and behavior.⁷ EXOMIND™ leverages the brain’s innate ability to reorganize and strengthen neural circuits—a process known as neuroplasticity.

TMS increases neural activity, enhances the release of neurotransmitters, and boosts levels of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF)—often described as “Miracle-Gro for the brain.”⁸ BDNF supports:

• Neuronal growth
• Synaptic strengthening
• Long-term brain resilience

Studies referenced in the EXOMIND data show improvements in cognitive function, emotional stability, self-control, and reductions in depression and anxiety symptoms. Patients in clinical evaluations reported:

• 90% improvement in mental well-being
• 88% reduction in binge eating scores
• 82% rating treatments as comfortable
• Average 4 lbs weight reduction
• 100% reduction in food cravings⁹

ExoTMS: What Makes EXOMIND Different?

EXOMIND™’s most significant innovations include:

1. Double-Core Coil™ Technology

Traditional figure-8 or circular coils lose efficiency as energy dissipates. EXOMIND™’s patented coil maintains maximum magnetic field efficiency with minimal loss, delivering consistent stimulation exactly where it’s intended.

2. Cool Flow™ Advanced Air Cooling

Continuous airflow prevents overheating, allowing for shorter treatment times and extended device longevity.

3. Trapezoid Stimulation Waveform

Instead of the sudden “snap” of traditional TMS pulses, the ExoTMS™ trapezoid pattern gradually delivers energy, dramatically reducing discomfort.

In studies comparing pain scores, EXOMIND™ scored 0.5/10, while competitors averaged between 2.18 and 2.54 on a 1–5 pain scale.¹⁰

4. Field Strength of 3.6 Tesla

EXOMIND™ produces a stronger magnetic field than NeuroStar (0.5 T), MagVenture (2.0 T), or Magstim (>1.44 T), enabling deeper and more effective neural activation.

5. Rapid Navigation

Mapping the treatment area takes five minutes or less, compared to 12–30 minutes with other systems.

Comfort: The Largest Breakthrough in TMS with EXOMIND

For many patients, discomfort has been the biggest barrier to TMS adoption. Traditional devices can cause:

• Scalp pain
• Twitching
• Headaches
• Neck discomfort

In contrast, EXOMIND™ was engineered for comfort:

• 82% of patients rated treatments comfortable
• Pain scores averaged 0.5 out of 10
• The trapezoid waveform allows the brain to adapt naturally
• Treatments remain tolerable even at higher intensities and frequencies

Patients in EXOMIND™’s reported experiences described feeling:

• Calmer
• Less reactive
• Less stressed
• Better equipped to manage daily challenges

Quotes from real patients include:

“I am just overall happier… I honestly do believe that EXOMIND has changed my life.”
—Katherine, 25

“I think that I was more equipped to handle stress… I didn’t react the way I had been.”
—Chase, 38

Who Can Benefit From EXOMIND™?

EXOMIND™ is designed for adults with:

• Major Depressive Disorder resistant to medication
• Comorbid anxiety
• Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
• Binge Eating Disorder (BED)

Additionally, mental wellness challenges are widespread across:

• Primary care
• OB/GYN practices
• Medspas
• Integrative wellness centers
• Aesthetic practices

Up to 48% of OB/GYN patients, 34% of cosmetic surgery patients, and 44% of elective surgery patients have significant mental health histories. Integrating EXOMIND™ into these clinical settings fills a critical care gap.¹²

Safety & Contraindications

EXOMIND™ should not be used in patients with:

• Metallic objects near the head
• Implanted stimulators
• Seizure disorders
• Severe cardiovascular or pulmonary disease
• Pregnancy

The safety for individuals under 22 and certain specialized mental health conditions has not yet been established. Full contraindications are outlined in the device reference.

EXOMIND™ vs. Other TMS Systems

EXOMIND™ outperforms competitors on comfort, efficiency, and strength—all without compromising safety or efficacy.
