Samphire positions itself for individual users, clinicians integrating neurostimulation into patient care, and employers looking to support workforce wellbeing. The devices are compatible with most existing treatments and designed for home use, removing barriers to access. The company collaborates with research institutions and healthcare professionals to close the gender health knowledge gap, making it a science-first platform for anyone looking to better understand and manage the relationship between the brain and the menstrual cycle.
