Apollo Neurosciences: Enhancing Psychedelic Experiences with Wearable Technology

Apollo Neurosciences, co-founded by Dr. Dave Reben, has created a wearable device called Apollo that enhances the benefits of psychedelic experiences. Users have reported improved ability to drop into the experience and calm their bodies before the journey, as well as increased agency during challenging psychedelic episodes. The Apollo wearable delivers soothing vibrations that stimulate the body's parasympathetic nervous system, promoting a state of relaxation and safety. This increased sense of safety can help users navigate difficult experiences and prevent negative thought loops. Apollo has also been studied in clinical settings, showing improvements in heart rate variability, cognitive performance, and sleep. Clinicians are recommending the Apollo device to their patients, particularly for anxiety, depression, PTSD, and sleep-related issues. Additionally, Apollo is being utilized as an integration tool after psychedelic experiences, helping individuals process and incorporate the insights gained during their journeys.
