The Science Behind Apollo
Award-winning Wearable
The Five Principles of Apollo Neuro
-
PRINCIPLE 01
All studies are conducted by independent university investigators and researchers that have no financial relationship with Apollo Neuroscience, unless clearly stated otherwise.
-
PRINCIPLE 02
Unlike other companies, we will never restrict publication of trial results. Every investigator is free to publish what they find in their studies. Every completed clinical trial is available to the public.
-
PRINCIPLE 03
Apollo Neuroscience partners with world-renowned physicians and scientists to guide the Apollo Clinical Research Team to the highest standard of quality and rigor.
-
PRINCIPLE 04
All studies are independently funded unless clearly stated otherwise. To minimize bias as much as possible, nearly all studies of the Apollo technology are investigator-sponsored studies and are funded by government and university research grants. Investigators do not have a conflict of interest and receive no compensation in any form from Apollo Neuroscience.
-
PRINCIPLE 05
We hold ourselves to the best practices of the most current scientific methodology. For example, Apollo Neuroscience is one of the only consumer wellness wearables showing statistically significant (p<0.05) positive results in double-blind randomized placebo-controlled crossover trials, the most rigorous form of clinical trial.

Born In A Science Lab
The Apollo Neuro technology originated from Dr. David Rabin MD, PhD’s research at the University of Pittsburgh and is based on several decades of scientific research into vibration frequencies and how they impact the body. As a neuroscientist and psychiatrist, Dr. Dave has always been fascinated by consciousness and our inherent ability to heal ourselves from illness and injury.
After dedicating his career to understanding the impact of chronic stress on our well-being over 15 years ago, he observed a core challenge that confronts every single one of us - healthy behavior changes will benefit us in the long term, but making those changes when we’re under chronic stress is really, really hard. The reason? Chronis stress itself.
When we face stress, our brains tell our bodies the equivalent of “Hey, there’s a lion over there! Get out of danger!” That’s why we have trouble sleeping, low energy, and a hard time focusing - it’s like the nervous system is saying “run” or “fight” when we’re just trying to get through our day. Apollo restores balance to the nervous system, calming the body, and leaving us feeling safe and in control of how we feel.
This made Dr. Dave wonder, could we use our body’s natural response to touch to restore balance to the nervous system, and if we could, would we be able to measure the change? The next big question was, could the feeling of safety be delivered to our bodies by sending soothing vibrations to our touch receptors with a wearable? The answer to both was yes – and Apollo Neuro was born!
The Research Behind Apollo and Stress
The Apollo wearable has been studied in over 1700 research subjects across 7 completed clinical studies, with 14 more underway. Findings so far show subjects experienced:

“I'm always looking for new ways to reimagine health — primarily how we care for our mental and physical health. The Apollo wearable revolutionizes how we approach our health, actively improving sleep, cardiovascular metrics, focus, and more — and it's completely effortless for the user. Most importantly to me, it's making people feel good again. It's a fascinating mix of cutting-edge technology and ancient health knowledge.”
