The world is slowly creeping towards a future where individuals suffering from mental health issues can turn to psychedelic medicine for treatment. Over the last few years, there have been numerous advancements in the space, including positive human trials showing that drugs like psilocybin, MDMA and ketamine are effective in treating a host of mental health disorders.
Activists are using these studies to push for an overhaul of the laws governing psychedelics. Laws outlawing psychedelic drugs have been overturned in cities such as Denver, Oakland and Washington, D.C. Most significantly, Oregon became the first state to decriminalize psilocybin and legalize it for medical purposes.
As this emerging industry matures, there will be a significant need for data showing how effective various psychedelic drugs treat specific disorders. One company has developed a software platform that will assist patients and doctors in keeping track of progress made during psychedelic treatments.
Introducing Wesana Health
Founded in 2020 by retired NHL veteran Daniel Carcillo, Wesana Health (CSE: WESA) (OTCQB: WSNAF) is a relatively new player in the psychedelic medicine industry. The company describes itself as an integrated life sciences company and states its mission as:
“We’re on a mission to revolutionize the treatment of neurological health and performance through advanced technology, personalized treatment and psychedelic therapies.”
Wesana Health will focus on four primary disorders for their treatments: traumatic brain injuries (TBI), migraines, anxiety and depression. These are some of the most common mental health issues globally and thus prevent a large addressable market. To address this market, the company has developed a proprietary software platform for monitoring the efficacy of various drugs on different disorders.
The company will use this platform at its growing network of medical clinics, where doctors who specialize in brain disorders and psychedelics will use it in combination with in-house developed drug regimens to treat mental health patients. This setup will allow the company to collect vast amounts of data and apply that data to future treatment programs.
This data will be crucial to Wesana’s long-term success; they know that identifying and rigorously testing the proper drugs and dosages will be essential to developing a standardized drug that regulators approve. The software platform allows inputs from all parties involved in the treatment process: the patient, therapist, the clinic itself and the researcher behind the drug used for treatment.
With so many inputs from different users, the amount of data that the platform can aggregate is quite large. This should give them a head-start in the race to develop psychedelic medicines.
In addition, Wesana Health announced last month that it was added to the AdvisorShares Psychedelics ETF (NYSE Arca: PSIL).
Commenting on the company’s inclusion in the industry’s first actively managed psychedelics ETF, Chad Bronstein, Executive Chairman of Wesana, stated:
“We are incredibly pleased to have been selected as a core constituent in the new AdvisorShares Psychedelics ETF. Inclusion in this ETF is another validation in the evolution of Wesana as a publicly-traded company, and the impact Wesana’s core initiatives have had on the psychedelics sector. By strengthening our shareholder base and improving our visibility in the global investment community, we are excited for the next steps in bringing Wesana’s unique approach to neurological health and wellness to patients across the country.”

Dawn has developed clinical operations for some of the biggest names in the industry, including Biogen (NYSE: BIIB) and Novartis (NYSE: NVS) (SWX: NOVN).
