Using your Apollo Neuro

The Apollo Neuro app offers goal-based programs that improve energy and focus, heighten clarity and awareness, and promote relaxation and sleep. You can select from the goal-based program menu to begin a personalized program of vibration patterns designed to restore the body’s natural equilibrium. These programs are called Vibes™. Once you select a program, the Apollo Neuro wearable device will begin delivering waves of vibration to the body.

You can choose how long the program lasts on the mobile app.

You can choose how intensely you feel the vibration on the mobile app as well as with the buttons on the Apollo Neuro wearable. We suggested starting the intensity low and adjusting it to where you just started to notice it. The ideal setting is to not be distracted by the vibrations - over the first few minutes you will likely forget you are even wearing it.

Users report feeling a gentle soothing feeling for calming Vibes and a more energetic sensation when using wakeful and focus Vibes. 

Apollo Neuro helps the body access natural states of balance just like deep breathing and meditation. Similar to these natural techniques for improving nervous system balance, the more you use Apollo Neuro the better your results.

Preliminary results demonstrate that Apollo Neuro use helps improve Heart Rate Variability (HRV), a key metric of overall health and resilience over time. Routine use of Apollo Neuro also increases the body’s sensitivity to Apollo Neuro, taking less time to feel the beneficial effects. In controlled clinical settings, we consistently saw increased HRV in 2-3 minutes. The tools to measure biometrics that are available outside clinical settings are less precise and may not show this quick of changes.

Apollo Neuro can be used in two primary ways, and you can use it as needed to achieve your desired outcome through the Vibes. We recommend consistent daily use to improve your recovery — consistency is key. If you're experiencing acute stress, distractions, or anxiety — you should feel effects very quickly.

Apollo Neuro works best to help you transition from tired to awake, distracted to focused, anxious to calm

Your Apollo Neuro experience is all about intention - Apollo Neuro works best to help you transition from tired to awake, distracted to focused, anxious to calm, and to aid in mindfulness and sleep. While you can use Apollo Neuro for as long as you like, effects occur quickly and last from 30 minutes to 2 hours after use. This means you don't need to have the device playing at all times - just when you need it most.

It is not necessary to use the Apollo Neuro throughout the entire night or day - you will experience benefits with shorter, 30-minute cycles. Apollo Neuro's calming effects on the nervous system continue long after a program finishes.

No, it’s actually the opposite. Apollo Neuro helps the body access natural states of balance just like deep breathing and meditation. Similar to these natural techniques for improving nervous system balance, the more you use Apollo Neuro the better your results. Preliminary results demonstrate that Apollo Neuro use helps improve heart rate variability, a key metric of overall health and resilience over time.

Routine use of Apollo Neuro also increases the body’s sensitivity to Apollo Neuro, with the result being it takes less time to feel the effect.

Apollo Neuro has been shown to improve energy and focus pre-exercise and to accelerate physical recovery in between anaerobic sets and post-exercise. Apollo has not been tested during active physical exercise. We do not recommend using Apollo during physical activity.

Yes. Apollo Neuro programs can be used to help you fall asleep and to get you back to sleep if you wake up before you’re ready. You can fall asleep while wearing Apollo Neuro. The app offers program timers and will end the program automatically when the program ends.

Yes. Apollo Neuro is a great tool for travel. It can help you fall asleep on a plane and give you energy when you get off the plane. Users report that Apollo Neuro helps reduce their jet lag. The Apollo Neuro device can be set to airplane mode so data doesn’t transmit while you’re on a plane.

Renamed Vibes

As of March 17th 2023, the Apollo Neuro app for iOS updated to rename "Modes" to "Vibes," and updated Vibe names. Apollo customers, don’t worry, the modes you know and love haven’t gone away, they just have new names now.
