Apollo 2.0: The Future of Personalized Well-Being

Most wellness wearables are recorders — they tell you that you slept poorly or were stressed, then do nothing. Apollo wants to be an intervenor: instead of tracking, it acts. Born from a 2014 discovery in a university neuroscience lab, it uses patented sound-wave haptics to deliver specific vibrations that evoke the settled feeling of hearing a favorite song, cuddling a pet, or a good hug — shaping alertness, calm, focus and sleep. Version 2.0 brings a smoother haptic engine, 2× longer battery life (over 4 days) and 2× faster USB-C charging. SmartVibes AI learns your sleep patterns and responds with soothing vibrations before you fully wake — the company says 10,000+ users gain up to 60 extra minutes of sleep per night. The technology is backed by 1,700+ research subjects across 8 completed clinical studies. Launched in December 2024, it drew 2,804 backers and $1,179,308, about 1,179% funded.
