specializes in innovative medical technology, primarily through its flagship product, the Cala kIQ™ System. This FDA-cleared, wearable device employs Transcutaneous Afferent Patterned Stimulation (TAPS) Therapy to provide non-invasive treatment for action hand tremors associated with essential tremor and Parkinson's disease. The device is designed for on-demand therapy, enabling users to experience tremor reduction during a complete 40-minute session, with many users enjoying sustained relief lasting over an hour post-therapy.

It serves a diverse clientele, including Medicare beneficiaries, veterans through the VA, and individuals purchasing directly from healthcare providers, reflecting a commitment to enhancing the quality of life for those impacted by this neurological condition. Cala Health generates revenue primarily through the sale of the Cala kIQ™ System and associated TAPS Therapy, which is reimbursed by Medicare and various commercial insurance plans. The company operates on a direct-to-consumer model, where users can obtain the device through prescriptions from healthcare providers who assess their hand tremors. The reimbursement structure allows for potential cost coverage, making the therapy accessible to a broader audience.


The company also collaborates with healthcare professionals to facilitate patient access to the system, which may include offering free trials depending on insurance coverage. Through this transaction framework, Cala Health aims to ensure that its innovative therapy reaches those who need it most, while also establishing a sustainable revenue stream.
