Apollo Neuro Fact Sheet
The Apollo™ wearable helps your body recover from stress, so you can relax, focus, sleep better, and feel better.
What is the Apollo wearable?
Meet the first wearable that helps you fall asleep
Apollo™ is a new kind of wearable that improves your body’s resilience to stress, so you can relax, sleep, focus, recover, and stay healthy. It’s like a wearable hug for your nervous system that helps you be a calmer, more mindful version of yourself.Worn on the wrist, ankle, or anywhere by clipping it to clothing, it uses touch therapy to deliver gentle, soothing, waves of vibrations that help you feel safe and in control. Apollo Neuro’s scientifically validated technology trains your nervous system to bounce back from stress more quickly, going from “fight or flight” to “rest and digest”.
Upgrade your sleep. Downgrade your stress.
Use the Apollo Neuro app to transition through your day, choosing Vibes to help you relax, fall asleep, clear your mind, focus, and stay energized.Like a workout for your nervous system, consistency is key — we recommend using the device at least three hours a day, five days a week, during the day and night. The more you use it, the better it works.Developed by neuroscientists and physicians, the Apollo wearable is proven to improve heart rate variability (HRV), a key biometric of stress resilience. It’s a non-invasive, effective stress relief tool for adults and children, without drugs or side effects.
A new kind of wearable that actively improves your health
Rather than tracking your health, the Apollo wearable is proven to actively improve it. As it strengthens and rebalances your autonomic nervous system, your heart rate variability (HRV) improves – which means you’re building your resilience to stress. So you spend less time in fight-or-flight mode and get more time to rest and digest. Over time, your body learns to recover from stress more quickly, so you can relax, sleep better, and find deep, meaningful focus – anytime and anywhere.Apollo Neuro’s stress-relieving technology has been tested across thousands of users in the clinic and in the real world through seven complete clinical trials, with nine more currently underway. Here’s what we’ve seen:
Up to 40% less stress and feelings of anxiety
Up to 11% increase in HRV
Up to 25% more focus and concentration
Up to 19% more time in deep sleep

How do I use the Apollo wearable?
Download the Apollo Neuro app for iOS or for Android. The app will lead you through a few simple steps to create a profile and connect to your Apollo device.
Wear it your way. Whether that’s on your wrist, ankle, or clipped to your shirt, bra, or waistband, you may choose to wear the Apollo device in different ways as you go about your day. For best results, it’s important to place it near a bone, like your wrist, ankle, chest, spine (near the back of your neck), or hip bone. Try clipping the Apollo wearable against your collar or spine, center of chest, or hip.
Select an Apollo Vibe on the app and customize your duration and intensity. Start at a low intensity, around 20-40%. It’s normal to forget you’re wearing the Apollo device.
The Apollo wearable delivers gentle vibrations that signal safety to the brain, balancing your body and calming your mind.

For maximum benefits, we recommend using Apollo 3+ hours a day, 5+ days a week, during the day and night. With consistent use over time, Apollo strengthens your nervous system and improves heart rate variability (HRV), training your body to rebalance and recover from stress more quickly.
Why did we create Apollo Neuro?
We built the Apollo Neuro technology because current health tools often don’t cut it. Meditation, mindfulness, and breathwork may help, but are often not enough on their own. And they’re really hard to learn and and even harder to work into your daily routines, especially when you’re already busy and feeling stressed. The Apollo wearable puts you back in the driver’s seat.Unlike other wearables that track your health, the Apollo wearable actively improves your health, effortlessly. Apollo is a therapeutic wearable, designed to be worn discreetly on the wrist or the ankle, that works by sending gentle vibrations to the body that signal safety to the brain. It's a safe, non-invasive way to relax, get the sleep you need, focus your attention, and find your flow. Using the Apollo wearable consistently over time helps to retrain your nervous system, helping you recover from stress and feel better overall.Apollo Neuroscience was born from research in neuroscience and psychiatry at the University of Pittsburgh. Dr. David Rabin MD, PhD, better known as Dr. Dave, is a neuroscientist and board-certified psychiatrist who has been studying the effects of chronic stress on mental and physical health for 15+ years. In his clinical work, he noticed a common theme: all of his patients’ symptoms got worse when they were experiencing stress.Dr. Rabin began his research on what would become Apollo Neuro in 2014 at the University of Pittsburgh. In his clinical work, he noticed a common theme: all of his patients’ symptoms got worse when they were experiencing stress.Stress sends a signal to our bodies that we’re under threat. It kicks off our fight-or-flight response and makes it difficult for us to focus, relax and maintain the sleep we need in order to recharge and recover.Through extensive research, Dr. Rabin noticed that touch was often overlooked in stress management, despite its incredible ability to signal safety to the body and reduce stress.
