FAQs

The Apollo wearable balances and strengthens your nervous system to become more resilient to stress through the neuroscience of touch. Regular usage of the Apollo wearable can help you improve your well-being and tap into a healthier, happier version of you. Calm down from a highly stressed state, sleep more deeply, channel meaningful focus, give the best speech of your life, be present when it matters most, improve your meditation practice, and get a dose of extra energy when you need it.

Your Apollo wearable sends silent, soothing sound waves that tell your body that you’re safe and in control. Your body relaxes, and you’re able to focus, sleep, and make decisions based on logic rather than fear.

The Apollo wearable improves your resilience to stress through your sense of touch, felt as soothing vibrations, like music for your body. When we are feeling stressed, the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) branch of our nervous system is activated. That constant stress response leaves us feeling tired, distracted, overwhelmed, and makes it difficult to sleep. Apollo works by signaling safety to the body through your sense of touch, reminding the body that it's safe enough to turn off fight-or-flight, and restoring balance to the nervous system by gently improving the functioning of the vagus nerve.

Apollo Vibes are silent soundtracks composed for your body that improve the way you feel. They are experienced as gentle waves of vibration on your skin, or over clothing, that come and go like an ocean wave. Vibes differ in rhythm and energy, depending on your goal. You’ll feel a gentle soothing sensation for calm and sleep Vibes and a more energizing sensation for social and focus Vibes.

Developed by physicians and neuroscientists, Apollo Vibes use soothing sound wave vibration patterns that are designed to facilitate natural states of calm, clarity, focus, and relaxation. Unlike other devices that vibrate like a cell phone or massager, Apollo vibrations are scientifically-backed programs that feel natural to the body because they are reminding the body how to breath at it's natural rhythm.

If you have an iPhone handy, you can experience what an Apollo Vibe feels like right now on your iPhone by downloading the Apollo Neuro app from the Apple app store.
