Today and every day we honor Veterans who not only protect our nation but who helped shape Apollo into what it is today.

“I absolutely love the Apollo wearable. I use it in a thousand different ways. My favorite way to use it is when driving long distances. It helps keep me alert and focused on the road and I would now never drive a long distance without it.” -Bee B.

The technology behind the Apollo wearable is the response to the critical importance, and modern drought, of loving touch in our lives. Touch is the single most powerful way we convey safety to one another. It’s hardwired into our nervous systems and has been for at least 200 million years dating back to the first mammals that nursed their newborns.

Apollo Vibes help nudge us into a calm and present state within as little as a couple of minutes when used under stress, increasing our ability to perform in challenging situations and, over time, improving our resilience to stress. This allows us to feel much better, get more high-quality sleep, and flow through the day gracefully.

Consistently using the Apollo wearable increases our ability to adapt to stress in our clinical trials, as seen by improved heart rate variability (HRV) and performance under stress. Just set it and forget it!

Our CEO Kathryn reflects on our milestone achievement of launching SmartVibes and what this health and technology breakthrough means to her and Apollo:

On SmartVibes | An interview with CEO Kathryn Fantauzzi Our CEO Kathryn reflects on our milestone achievement of launching SmartVibes and what this health and technology breakthrough means to her and Apollo.

The origins of Apollo Neuro:

The Apollo technology is based on decades, but really centuries, of research from neuroscience, psychotherapy, psychiatry, psychology, biofeedback and Eastern Medicine disciplines such as meditation, yoga, music, and massage — all combined into one cutting-edge technology that people can take with them on the go.

Tested by thousands in clinical trials and real-world studies, the Apollo wearable can rapidly help bring the body into a meditative state or a state of recovery, balance, and safety through our sense of touch just by feeling it.

To develop the Apollo technology, we combined low-frequency inaudible sound waves (patented bass frequencies) that feel like soothing touch to compose music for your body instead of your ears. These vibrations, known as Apollo Vibes, safely and reliably change how we feel through our sense of touch.

If you often experience stress when flying, we’ve got a Vibe for you. Try Recover Vibe to help you through the stress of check-in when you arrive at the airport, baggage claim when you arrive at your destination, and everything in between! Recover is an even and balanced Vibe that helps the body wind down after mental, physical, or emotional stress.

Which Apollo Vibes give you a boost most effectively?

Energy - Gives you a boost when you’re feeling sluggish. Like a shot of espresso!

Social - Elevates mood and energy, whether at work or play.

Focus - Filters out distraction and settles your nerves for clear and calm productivity.

Which Apollo Vibe is your favorite when it comes to needing a pep in your step?

If you often get headaches, try Focus Vibe!

This Vibe combines frequencies of vibration shown to improve performance and HRV and to lower heart rate under stress. Scientific literature and university-led trials demonstrate that frequencies in the Focus Vibe improve focus and feelings of calm.

“Sublime relaxation with no drugs.” -John L.

“Apollo is hands down the best wearable I have ever purchased. It teaches your body to de-stress on its own.” -Jeremy N.

We are often asked - can the Apollo be used to enhance performance while playing video games?

The answer is YES! According to Dr. Dave Rabin, MD, PhD, Apollo co-founder and Chief Medical Officer, Focus Vibe is the best Vibe for this. It increases cognitive performance and accuracy by up to 25%, even under stress.

"This was the second Apollo I have purchased. My son was sharing my first with me and I finally decided I couldn’t share anymore." -Danielle C.

When you feel good, you can show up for your relationships as your best self, and maybe even make someone’s day a little better. Afterall, you can’t pour from an empty cup.

How do you start your day?

We’ve all seen the ideal morning routine touted here on social media.
Meditate.
Hydrate.
Journal.
Workout.
And don’t look at your phone!

In reality, mornings can be chaotic. Whether you are busy getting kids ready for school, you start work early, or you face a less-than-ideal morning commute daily (or all three), some support first thing in the day would be nice.
That’s why we created Good Morning Vibe, a new Apollo Vibe™ for the Apollo® wearable, available exclusively for Apollo Labs™ members. Good Morning Vibe transitions you from sleep to daytime with Vibes that help you feel more energized, focused, and awake.

Scientific literature and university-led trials demonstrate that frequencies in the Focus Vibe improve focus. Apollo wearable users also often utilize this Vibe for athletic performance and creative work.

Our co-founder and Chief Medical Officer David Rabin MD, PhD is on Michael Gervais' podcast Finding Mastery this week!

NAPS:

There is a paradoxical relationship to naps. We want them, then we regret them. They refresh us and they make us groggy. Too short a nap leaves us wanting more; too long and we can’t sleep at night.

This window of time — where a little shut-eye is beneficial — is where using the Apollo wearable on its Power Nap Vibe can help.

In a flow state, you become so absorbed in whatever you’re doing that inner chatter, anticipatory anxiety, and boredom fade. You accomplish more in an hour of flow than in eight hours of scattered, unfocused work.

Flow state is more than a performance hack: it’s a lifestyle choice that brings you higher levels of fulfillment. But our energy levels, enthusiasm, and stamina can vary widely. Some days, you can access the flow state with very little effort. On others, it feels like a gated garden to which only the most elite performers have the keys.

Fortunately, positive psychology researchers have identified ‘flow triggers,’ or conditions that can speed our entry into flow states.

"What's a good HRV?"

If you’ve been following the trends in health tracking, HRV has entered the chat as the biometric that matters most.

Many people ask “what’s a good HRV?”. The answer is that HRV is highly individualized, so rather than getting attached to hitting a specific number, seek an upward trend in HRV scores. Athletes and non-athletes use Oura Rings, Whoop, and Apple Watches to track HRV and keep a pulse on when it’s time to recover and when it’s a good time to push it. These tools are great for tracking and monitoring metrics like HRV, but figuring out the ideal combination of nourishment, sleep, and activity to optimize HRV is personal and it usually takes months to find your groove.

Has using your Apollo™ wearable improved your HRV?
