Chengdu, China

  • Brain-computer interfaces
  • Neuromodulation
  • Chronic pain
  • Depression

Gestala develops ultrasound brain–computer interface technologies for brain health, including non-invasive deep-brain neuromodulation and functional ultrasound imaging. Its Diadem system uses transcranial focused ultrasound to target brain circuits associated with chronic pain and depression, with techniques designed to compensate for skull-related ultrasound distortion.

Recent highlights

Gestala’s financing timeline includes a CNY 150 million Seed round dated March 12, 2026, followed by Angel+ entries of $62 million on July 3 and RMB 430 million on July 8. The two Angel+ entries are close together and may reflect separate announcements or overlapping reporting; they are retained as distinct entries, so the combined funding figure should be treated with that qualification. No lead investors are identified. The company develops ultrasound-based brain–computer interface technologies, including Diadem, a system described as using transcranial focused ultrasound for non-invasive deep-brain neuromodulation. Its stated areas of application include brain circuits associated with chronic pain and depression. The technical approach also includes functional ultrasound imaging and a method intended to measure and compensate for skull-related ultrasound attenuation and phase shifts. The available company information does not establish dated product launches, partnerships, awards, or leadership changes. The financing activity and product focus are therefore the clearest identifiable milestones through October 8, 2026.
