A breakdown of clinical trials testing Apollo vibrations for stress and heart rate variability. The speaker walks through the studies, their design, and what the data actually showed about how the device affects your nervous system.

Tell me about how many studies you've completed. How big were they and what did you find? So we've completed about 13 clinical trials to date, or 13 clinical studies. I would say about three of them were just early stage pilots that were done in the real world with different mentally ill and general regular healthy populations. But they weren't done under IRB approval. The other 10 studies were all done with university partners under strict IRB approval. We have one trial published to date that was a double blind, randomized, placebo controlled crossover study, which is the most most rigorous form of clinical trial that is not by any means required. But we needed to prove to ourselves that Apollo actually was doing something different than other vibrations in the world, which showed us that the Apollo vibrations are reliably improving heart rate variability. If our HRV is low, our chances getting sick go way up, our chances of recovery from illness get worse, and our performance under stress goes down. And so what we were able to show that under tense workout stress in collegiate athletes, or in regular people undergoing intense cognitive stress, that only when you apply Apollo vibrations to the body, heart rate variability reliably went up in a statistically significant way under stress.
