The Apollo wearable is the No. 1 doctor-recommended wearable stress relief tool for those in high-stress roles. Apollo calms the storm of the fight-or-flight response by nurturing the parasympathetic nervous system, governed by the Vagus nerve, training stress resiliency and recovery. Especially beneficial for those who work long or irregular hours, Apollo harmonizes circadian rhythms and has been evaluated in over 13 clinical studies to significantly improve sleep, energy, mood, heart rate variability, stress resiliency, and overall well being.
Apollo is a new kind of technology that improves how good we feel through our sense of touch with patented soothing sound wave vibrations originally discovered at The University of Pittsburgh Medical Center. Apollo vibrations are designed to feel like a warm hug or snuggling a pet, naturally enhancing nervous system balance that is disrupted by chronic stress and trauma.
Developed by Dr. David Rabin, MD, PhD, a psychiatrist and neuroscientist, while working with and treating veterans, the Apollo wearable has won over 15 product and innovation awards for being the first wearable technology to deliver on the promise of significantly improved sleep, stress resiliency, calm, and energy. The Apollo wearable is a small device that can be worn discreetly anywhere on the body, over or under clothing, with a strap or clip.
“We wouldn’t have been able to invent the Apollo wearable without the veteran community. Working with veterans and their families for years as a psychiatrist taught me how important it is to feel safe and in control at any moment, especially when trying to fall asleep,” said Dr. Rabin. “Techniques like meditation and deep breathing help, but they are really hard to do when we’re already stressed and exhausted. Technology can now make relaxation and recovery easy wherever we are, and we couldn’t be more proud to bring Apollo Neuro into the world as the first wellness wearable to accomplish this for those who have dedicated their lives to protecting us and our country.”
Apollo is also the first technology scientifically proven to improve heart rate variability (HRV) effortlessly. HRV is the leading predictor of performance, health span, and longevity, as well as recovery from stress and trauma.
Dr. Rabin and his team have been collaborating with veterans and active-duty military to design technology that improves their lives since 2016. Dr. Rabin has been working with Ret. Major General T. S. Jones and serves on the board of Semper Fi Odyssey and Outdoor Odyssey, founded by General Jones, to develop programs to help veterans and active-duty service members heal from trauma.
“The impact was immediately recognized, especially for its calming effect and for the ability to help one sleep. The Apollo device naturally augments our work with warriors, as the vast majority at this juncture struggle with stress-related issues.”
