It’s hard to come by new tools that actually make athletes recover faster, reduce stress, and sharpen focus. The Apollo™ Wearable does all three by sending gentle, specialized vibrations that improve nervous system balance. It may seem like science fiction, but it is backed by clinical research that supports its effectiveness.
Science-Based, University-Backed
- Developed by world-renowned psychiatrist and neuroscientist Dr. David Rabin MD, PhD at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, Apollo’s silent soothing wearable sound wave vibrations are based on over six decades of neuroscience research into human performance, recovery, the vagus nerve, and stress regulation.
- Apollo is the tool of choice for performance and recovery enhancement by Nike athletes, RedBull athletes, and by dozens of university teams, professional teams, and Olympians. Apollo is the official wearable of the NFL Alumni Association.
- Apollo Neuroscience has completed 17 clinical studies (with over 1,700 participants), with another dozen currently underway.
- Featured by top health experts like Dr. Michael Breus, Dr. Mark Hyman, Dr. Gabrielle Lyon, Dr. Michael Gervais, Dr. Joe Maroon, and Dr. Bryan Donohue, who highlight the device’s ability to improve sleep, focus, Heart Rate Variability (HRV), and recovery—effortlessly and drug-free.
- In two studies of collegiate athletes, Apollo significantly improved HRV and recovery in nearly all participants in just 2 minutes.
- In stop-and-start cycles simulating on-field drills, Apollo’s Vibes significantly boosted HRV compared to control periods.

How It Works
The Apollo Wearable sends gentle, silent sound wave vibrations—called Apollo Vibes—to stimulate the body’s parasympathetic nervous system, which controls rest, recovery, and emotional regulation. These vibrations are carefully designed to signal safety and calm to the brain and body, helping athletes rapidly shift out of “fight or flight” mode and into a more balanced state. Depending on the selected mode (like “Recover,” “Focus,” or “Sleep”), the device delivers vibration patterns anywhere on the body using the apparel clip or straps that energize, refresh, or relax the athlete. This results in athletes feeling calmer under pressure, achieving more consistent peak performance, recovering faster after training, and sleeping much more deeply—without medication or major lifestyle changes. It’s a wearable that works passively throughout the day, training the nervous system to work hand-in-hand with an athletic lifestyle, effortlessly.
Benefits
Stress & Anxiety Reduction
Studies show 40% less stress and anxiety after just two weeks of using Apollo in both adults and children, with children typically having faster responses. Apollo vibrations are the first technology proven to boost heart rate variability (HRV), the leading biometric that predicts stress adaptation and resilience.
Enhanced Focus & Energy
Modes like “Energy” and “Focus” deliver higher energy vibrations to boost alertness, mental clarity, and productivity, especially helpful before and during games. Clinical studies have shown that Apollo improves focus and cognitive performance under stress by 25%, resulting in improved mental and physical performance.
Better Sleep, Naturally
Apollo users experience 30-45 minutes more sleep each night on average when using Apollo as recommended. SmartVibes™, the world’s most advance wellness AI (an optional upgrade to Apollo) plays Vibes automatically, personalized based on an individual’s sleep and biometric data to support faster sleep onset and deeper rest. From over 10,000 SmartVibes users tracked over 1 year, the SmartVibes AI feature set increases sleep by over 60 minutes per night by preventing unwanted wakeups before they happen.
Recovery & Mood Regulation
By gently boosting activity in the vagus nerve, Apollo supports quicker recovery post-exercise (over 10% faster recovery) and significantly improved mood and emotion regulation. Clinical trials have uniformly demonstrated improved HRV and recovery from Apollo use within minutes in athletes and non-athletes alike.
Practical And Non-Invasive
Worn on wrist, ankle, or chest before, during, or after athletic events, Apollo a silent and drug-free intervention that is completely functional without a Smartphone. The Apollo wearable has no screen and results in the described benefits just by wearing it as recommended.
Changing The Way Athletes Regulate Their Bodies
With independent, statistically sound evidence showing real-world performance gains, the Apollo Wearable is a tool that integrates seamlessly into training programs. Enhancing recovery, mental readiness, and athlete wellness, it’s worth experiencing the risk-free benefits to physical and mental performance.
