NTI released its quarterly report for the period ending 31st March 2019. In March, it released its e-commerce forum and website www.mentetech.com and a Mente app for iOS. The website would enable clinics to prescribe Mente. However, a full media launch was held back in the UK due to PR issues around NTI’s founder. As a result, the company concentrated on its digital marketing, lead generation efforts and online awareness campaign encompassing its Mente app.

NTI is in terms with existing partners and has confirmed the good use of the new subscription model. The last iteration of the device was released in 2018. It provides brain training therapy, based on widely published research.
