Dana Brain Health Institute

What Dana Brain Health Institute does

Dana Brain Health Institute (انستیتو سلامت مغز دانا) is a private, for-profit clinical neuroscience and mental health center headquartered at Boulevard Besat in Shiraz, Fars Province, Iran. Founded in Esfand 1396 (March 2018) by a multidisciplinary team of neuroscientists, psychiatrists, neurologists, psychologists, and faculty affiliated with the Iranian Neuroscience Society Fars Branch, the institute operates under a knowledge-based company license from Iran's Welfare Organization and is incubated within the Biotechnology Growth Center of Shiraz University of Medical Sciences. It positions itself as the sole provider of advanced neuromodulation services in southern Iran, eliminating the need for patients to travel to Tehran for specialized care.

The institute's core offering is a broad clinical service portfolio built around quantitative diagnostics and non-pharmacological neuromodulation. Diagnostic capabilities center on QEEG brain mapping, eye-tracking, and sleep studies. Therapeutic and rehabilitative modalities include repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS/TMS) with H-coils for depression and migraine, transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS), neurofeedback and biofeedback, vagus nerve stimulation (VNS), pulsed electromagnetic field therapy, virtual reality cognitive rehabilitation, and adjunct clinical services such as speech therapy, neuro-occupational therapy, cognitive rehabilitation, and meditation. Devices, techniques, and protocols are drawn from established Western clinical neuroscience practice and adapted for the Iranian market.

The business model is fee-for-service clinical delivery from a single physical clinic in Shiraz, combined with a deep educational-content marketing engine. Patients self-refer or are referred by affiliated psychiatrists and neurologists, with online appointment booking, phone-based reservations, and free initial consultations supporting direct-to-consumer acquisition. Per-session pricing follows the Iranian 1404 medical tariff schedule, with treatment courses of typically 10-20 sessions for conditions such as migraine, depression, and ADHD. Revenue is generated exclusively through clinical services; no enterprise contracts, B2B distribution, resellers, or marketplaces are operated. Customer segments span adults with mood/anxiety/migraine disorders, children with ADHD and developmental conditions, addiction patients, sleep disorder patients, and stroke or brain injury rehabilitation patients. The institute sustains demand via a large proprietary Persian-language content library (2,020+ articles and 2,000+ multimedia assets) and co-organized community workshops with multiple Fars Province health associations.
