Today, treating depression is trial and error. 

  • Patients wait 6-8 weeks to know if an SSRI is working.

  • Most patients try 3-4 different SSRIs before finding the right fit.

  • There is no rapid, objective way to measure neurotransmitter levels in real time.

  • New Mexico has high rates of depression and PTSD, especially among veterans.

We are building a better way.

A New Approach to neurochemistry.

Functional Flow Solutions is developing a lateral flow assay - designed to measure dopamine and serotonin levels from a simple sample. Results in under 20 minutes.

We are currently in the research and development phase and working toward validation studies.

Why New Mexico?

  • High rates of depression and PTSD

  • Large veteran population

  • Limited access to psychiatric care, especially in rural areas.

  • A growing bioscience ecosystem.

What began as a passion project has grown into a real mission: bringing rapid neurochemical monitoring to mental health care. We are proud of where we have been and excited for what is ahead.
