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.
