Combining Apollo’s wearable and AI technology with scientifically validated research, Apollo for Business aims to help organisations solve the stress and burnout crisis.
Pittsburgh, June 6, 2024–(BUSINESS WIRE)–A recent Gallup study found that poor sleep is linked to more than $44 billion in lost productivity, and Cedars-Sinai Hospital has shown that poor sleep leads to increased stress, frustration, depression and anxiety. To help organizations proactively address employee mental health head-on by improving sleep and reducing stress, Apollo Neuroscience is launching Apollo for Business. This new corporate program provides organizations of all sizes with scientifically validated Apollo wearables to restore sleep and energy with personalized, soothing vibrations, improving employee wellness and reducing burnout.

Developed by a team of physicians and neuroscientists, Apollo wearables are designed to deliver the benefits of meditation through the body’s natural haptic response. Simply wear the Apollo wearable to passively improve sleep, reduce stress, and improve productivity, focus, and mood by calming the nervous system like effortless meditation. Apollo Neuroscience’s vibration technology has been scientifically tested in seven clinical trials, with 14 more currently underway. The results are a proven average of 40% reduction in stress and anxiety, up to 25% improvement in focus, up to 10% faster physical recovery, and up to 30 minutes more sleep per night. Apollo wearables are currently the first and only wearable technology to actively improve heart rate variability (HRV), a leading biomarker predicting recovery, performance, and recovery.1.
Apollo for Business, which has been in pilot development since earlier this year, delivers real-time stress management, energy and focus to reduce burnout and increase employee engagement, happiness and productivity. The program will make Apollo wearables and SmartVibes memberships (premium AI-powered capabilities from Apollo Neuroscience that can predict when you will wake up during the night and take action to help you stay asleep) available to collegiate and professional sports teams, government and military agencies, transportation companies, healthcare organizations and more. Bulk ordering is available at affordable prices, and for a limited time, one year of membership is free for each participant from an organization.
“More than one-third of Americans are sleep deprived.2“Sleep impacts our health in many ways, including metabolic health, disease propensity, and mental health,” said Catherine Fantauzzi, co-founder and CEO of Apollo Neuroscience. “Wearable devices are available through managed healthcare plans for organizations, but data alone doesn’t improve health outcomes. With our Apollo for Business program, we can provide mental health and wellness tools that proactively improve sleep and reduce stress, so your teams feel more rested and focused.”
Balance your nervous system with Apollo
Your body’s health is determined by the dynamic relationship between the two branches of your autonomic nervous system: parasympathetic (rest and digest) and sympathetic (fight or flight). The vibrations in your Apollo wearable harness the body’s natural response to touch to calm you, helping you relax, focus, and fall asleep at night.
Chronic stress takes a toll on the entire body by overactivating the sympathetic nervous system, releasing stress hormones like cortisol that make you breathe faster and shallower, increase your heart rate, and lower your HRV. When your fight-or-flight response is overactive, your body’s physiological functions make it harder to focus, relax, or sleep. The sensations in your Apollo wearable are more than vibrations; they’re rhythms that regulate your nervous system and make you feel at ease, just like the right song can set the mood when you need to rest or recharge.
“Our challenge with Apollo Wearables is to solve a complex public health problem, including improving sleep, stress resilience and personalizing physical health,” said Dr. David Rabin, co-founder and chief medical officer of Apollo Neuroscience. “More than one-third of Americans report not getting enough sleep, and this lack of sleep not only leads to increased stress, but also an overall decrease in productivity and performance. Apollo for Business gives companies a much-needed tool to help improve employee burnout and proactively support the mental and physical health of their teams.”
APOLLO SMARTVIBES POWERED BY AI
Apollo wearables have an optional premium SmartVibes membership, available free for one year for a limited time to organizations that sign up for the Apollo For Business program. With SmartVibes, Apollo Neuroscience has developed the first wearable with AI-driven personalized sleep and stress relief capabilities, using AI to proactively prevent unnecessary awakenings to help people stay asleep through the night. Apollo’s proprietary AI platform uses both predictive and generative AI to analyze health data such as sleep quality, stress levels, HRV, heart rate, and more to understand users’ patterns over time to provide personalized stress relief and prevention.
These personalized vibes play out all day long, regulating your nervous system and helping your body recover from stress faster, shifting your body from a fight-or-flight state to a rest-and-digest state, which is important for staying calm and thinking clearly.
For a limited time, organizations that purchase 20 or more Apollo wearables will receive a complimentary one-year premium SmartVibes membership valued at $199.99 per participant. In addition to Apollo wearables and premium SmartVibes memberships, the Apollo for Business program also offers participating organizations private webinar and training opportunities tailored to their needs.
