Introducing SmartVibes

Introducing SmartVibes

After years of research and both real-world and clinical testing, we are thrilled to introduce the most personalized Apollo experience to date — SmartVibes. SmartVibes learn about your health, how you feel and what your body needs, and personalizes Apollo Vibes that play throughout the day to tune your nervous system and help you feel your best, balanced self. 

SmartVibes will know when you need more sleep, when you could use an energy boost, and when you need support recovering from stress, and will change over time, as you do. SmartVibes is an annual membership that builds on the free Vibe experience that comes with Apollo – this membership enhances your Apollo experience, making it more personalized and automatic.

Say goodbye to sleepless nights

Meet SmartVibes for sleep

How would you feel with an hour of extra sleep and no middle-of-the-night wake-ups? SmartVibes that play at nighttime are focused on one thing – helping you get more restorative sleep.

SmartVibes will sense when you begin to stir in the night and will respond with soothing vibrations to help keep you asleep. Apollo is the first technology that can detect and prevent unwanted wakeups before they happen, and the results are astounding. Over the last six months, over 2,500 customers have been using SmartVibes for sleep, experiencing up to 60 minutes more sleep each night.

Coming in early November

SmartVibes for sleep will learn from your sleep patterns and your desired bedtime and will personalize Vibes to help you unwind before bed, and lull you to sleep faster when your head hits the pillow.

"SmartVibes has taken my rest, relaxation, and recovery to an entirely new level. I used to have to take supplements when I woke up in the wee hours. Now, I just get lulled back to sleep by the soothing vibes of my Apollo, without needing to lift a finger." - Ben Greenfield, New York Times bestselling author, 13-time IronMan triathlete, fitness & nutrition expert

“One of the top questions I am asked is "How do I get BACK to sleep if I woke up in the middle of the night?" My new answer: "Why are you waking up in the middle of the night, did you forget your Apollo?" One of the hardest to solve sleep challenges is staying asleep throughout the night - and the new Stay Asleep feature on the Apollo wearable is a BREAKTHROUGH solution. With the Stay Asleep feature, the Apollo wearable recognizes when you're going to wake up and automatically plays soothing vibrations that calm and balance the nervous system to lull you back to sleep - before you even wake up. I didn't believe it worked until I tried it on myself. I was very surprised.” - Dr. Michael Breus, PhD, The Sleep Doctor™; Double board-certified Clinical Psychologist and Clinical Sleep Specialist

Over the last six months, we have had over 2500 Apollo customers using this feature, which we called Stay Asleep, and the results have been nothing short of incredible. Our customers who have been using SmartVibes for Sleep are getting 60 extra minutes of sleep a night. Apollo customers using Vibes like Fall Asleep and Unwind get up to 30 extra minutes of sleep a night.

Resilient, balanced, powerful you

SmartVibes for daytime

Coming in early November

SmartVibes that play during the day help calm your body and clear your mind and are your secret weapon to tackling daily stress.  

Learning from Apollo’s sleep metrics, OURA Ring’s health data, and a daily mood and feeling log, personalized Vibes are created each day to activate your vagus nerve and optimize the functions of your body. The result? You feel powerfully calm and balanced and can bounce back faster when stress comes calling.

Our mission: Help you live a happier, healthier life

The world we are exploring today is one where sleep and stress, inexorably linked, and all the negative health effects that high stress and poor sleep do to us and our loved ones, high blood pressure, heart problems, diabetes, skin conditions, obesity, and depression and anxiety, is proactively managed & personalized for you – without drugs.

Why is this so important? Because our country has sleep and mental health issues, among children, teens, and adults. According to data from the NIH and the Cleveland Clinic, 30% of Americans experience insomnia symptoms, 20% are taking prescription medication to sleep, and over 30% of Americans are diagnosed with an anxiety disorder. These are alarming stats, but overwhelmingly, we all feel the impact of this in our very own homes, making the story of sleep and stress highly personal.

Apollo’s impact on your health

Apollo is a wearable that transforms how you feel through your sense of touch. Apollo is the fusion of Eastern medicine, ancient healing practices, and modern technology - in the form of a wearable that you can wear around your wrist, ankle, or clipped to your clothing. 

When you feel Apollo Vibes, you are feeling your nervous system balancing and restoring your body’s natural rhythm. Our body responds to these vibrations like we do with music. Lower vibrations help you relax and reduce stress, while higher vibrations improve your energy, focus, and mood.

Apollo uses the science of touch to activate your parasympathetic nervous system and your emotional cortex to calm your body and clear your mind – and generally make you feel good. The vibrations you are feeling are using the touch receptors in your skin to send signals to your brain that you are safe and that you can relax into the flow state you want to be in - whether calm, relaxed, focused, energized, sleepy. These vibrations give you the same physical and mental benefits of mindful practices like meditation or breathwork. They are with you as you go about your day – like your secret weapon to being your best self in each moment.

This is the next frontier of health data and wearable technology. There is no other wearable in the world that is using your personal health data - to both personalize and intervene - to give you more sleep and less stress.
