Apollo Neuroscience is pioneering a new category of wearable technology that actively improves health, using touch therapy to promote stress resilience, sleep, focus, recovery, and more. We believe that the human body is powerful, resilient, and has the capacity to heal. When we can tap into our ability to balance and calm the nervous system, we can take better control over our mental and physical health. Feeling well doesn’t have to be a struggle.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, this is not a biometric tracking device. Apollo is a therapeutic wearable, designed to be worn discreetly on the wrist, ankle, or anywhere by clipping it to your clothing, 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.

Bluetooth wouldn't connect the App to the Neuro, but connection resolved itself after about a dozen attempts (same procedure followed each time). Also, when I go to Settings>Bluetooth on my iPhone, the only connection noted is for my Fitbit. No connection is shown for 'Apollo'. Also, the Neuro's battery needs to be charged every day. Charged to 100% in the morning; 9 hours later the App showed 27% charge. By contrast, my Fitbit is not clunky, has a rich menu of touchscreen actions, and requires charging less than once a week. I have no tangible way to really know what the Neuro does other than periodic vibration.
I've worn the Neuro for a week of activity and sleep, with the App trying to convince me I got 3 minutes of EXTRA sleep/night this week (statistically insignificant at 0.6%). Also, 3 minutes compared to what?
I am thus far not impressed. I gave 3 stars only because I'm still hopeful. The App pushes costly add-ons after spending $300+.
I will stay with it for another week. If no revelation by the close of this week, I plan to return it.

Such a cool concept that works!
Such a cool concept that works! I love that I have something discrete (I use the clip on the side of my bra) that I can use to help me relax and calm down during my busy workdays or when I’m feeling overstimulated as a mom. A great life and health hack!

Story, use case, praise and feedback from a long-time user
Originally written on April 25, 2025.
Apollo has been my companion for 3.5 years now. It's not a catch-all—none of the tools in my kit is—but Apollo has worked in concert with other interventions to help me manage everyday stress and navigate a number of traumas these past years. Of Richard Schwartz's eight Cs, Apollo helps me with calm (anxiety and sleep), clarity (focus), creativity and connectedness. It's also part of my safety plan and is partly responsible for saving my life. The joyful memories I've made with Apollo, too, are very special to me. I've used it before and during job interviews, presentations, musical performances and transformational conversations. It also hummed along as I wrote two poetry manuscripts (coming hopefully soon). I will also say the "Focus" vibe can definitely be helpful as part of my pre-migraine regimen.
A few notes on how I use Apollo:
* You can wear Apollo on wrists, ankles or mounted on the chest. Based on intuition and testing, I prefer the left wrist. Our right, emotional brain and left extremities are connected, for one thing. For another, that major artery is in your left arm. So my thought is, this is the best setup both biologically and energetically given Apollo works with HRV and a lot of right-brain stuff. That said, Support says any placement is helpful for these aims.
* The "Love" vibe is designed for the ankle. But if you can't wear it on an ankle due to any disabilities—in my case chronic pain and old injuries—it actually does work on the left wrist for me if probably to a lesser degree. That said, Apollo folks, please bear body diversity in mind when creating modes and make them universal. My case is one example; another is that some folks also have limb differences.
That leads to my other critical feedback. Support is aware, but I'll note it here as well.
* Accessibility: The process of setup and troubleshooting can be challenging for blind users due to the reliance on LED colors and patterns. I've asked the dev team to leverage the vibration motor to play sequences depending on the prompt or error that would have been communicated visually. There are also a number of accessibility issues with the app, and although some I've reported have been corrected, others persist.
* Device switching: I wish it were possible to pair multiple Apollo bands with my iPhone. A friend never used hers and gifted it to me. I'd love to be able to switch between them as my original one is aging and it'd be good to have a backup while one or the other is charging. Currently it's only possible to use more than one wearable if you have multiple devices that can run the app, so since I can't use the bonus Apollo, I gifted it to a loved one.
* Please, for the love of oxytocin, make the "Hug" vibe available on the wearable. I NEED IT.
* Would love if there were an antidepressant Smart Vibes focus. I know y'all can't make health claims, obvs, but something like it. Sleep and calm/focus are great, but my depression is a big reason why I use Apollo, so it'd be cool to have something automated that's also smart. Right now I either have to manually queue or schedule things. I'm thinking it could be a blend of "Joy," "Social," "Calm," "Love" and "Hug."

I’ve had my Apollo for more than three years and don’t think I could be without it! I use it every night about 30-60 min before bed and then again in bed on the Unwind mode so that when I get into bed, I don’t toss and turn. If I wake during the night, I’ll click it in again. I use the Joy mode in the morning if I’m not planning a workout or will use the Focus mode for pre-workout.

Apollo neuro really helped me a lot getting out of a depressive rumination episode. Within a few days, I was noticeably feeling much better - more than what 8 months of self care and therapy was unable to do.
I have since used it daily to improve my mental and physical health.

Very good at calming me down and the recover does help when I’m sick or when I have a headache. Focus feature is also good. Social feature helps out a lot. The only downside is that the sleep feature doesn’t really work.
