Flowly
Los Angeles, California, United States · Pasadena, California, United States
Flowly is the operating brand of Tamadé Inc., a Los Angeles-area digital health company developing virtual pain and anxiety services, mobile biofeedback and immersive virtual reality relaxation experiences. Its current website offers a therapist-led fourteen-week Healing from Pain program for persistent nonstructural pain, combining one-on-one support, pain neuroscience education and on-demand exercises. Its separate VR wellness system pairs a smartphone app and headset with heart-rate feedback and guided breathing. Flowly distinguishes these wellness tools from a medical device and does not claim device regulatory approval. Its cited studies of pain reprocessing and other psychological therapies are distinguished from Flowly-specific clinical evidence: the NIH-supported VANISH study registered at NCT04236804 was a small, randomized, unblinded trial with twenty participants. Company marketing percentages and testimonials are not treated as universal clinical outcomes. Federal NIH records identify earlier operating entity Tamade LLC and two NIDA research awards totaling USD1,214,571; these non-dilutive awards are separate from equity backing and cumulative fundraising claims. Primary sources verify Y Combinator Summer2021 participation, True Wealth Ventures backing and additional accelerator and portfolio affiliations; transaction amounts and stages remain qualified where undisclosed. The public team includes three co-founders and named clinical staff; external physician testimonials, patients and unnamed first-name contributors are not automatically company employees.
