We started with a question:
what if you could feel better?
Not a vague promise. Not a miracle cure. Just a small, research-backed device that works with your body's own nervous system to help you feel genuinely, noticeably better. That's what we've been building from London since 2019, one honest product at a time.
Better starts hereThe vagus nerve controls more of your health than most people realise
It plays a role in heart rate, digestion, immune function and your stress response. When it is working well, people tend to feel calmer, digest better, and recover faster. When it is not, the effects can ripple through your whole body.
We build devices that stimulate the vagus nerve through the ear — a technique called transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS). It's non-invasive, supported by a growing body of research, and something you can do at home in minutes.
We don't promise miracles. We promise better — and the science to back it up.
"We were asked if we could manufacture a novel double electrode clip for a vagus nerve study. That question changed everything."

Built for better
Three principles that shape every product, every decision, every word on this site.
Research-led, always
Where the science leads, we follow. Our devices are designed around published research, not marketing trends. We support ongoing studies and update our protocols as new evidence emerges. If the data isn't there, we don't claim it is.
Honest about outcomes
We say "research suggests" because that's the truth. We say "many users report" because that's what we know. You won't find miracle claims here. What you will find is a product that does what we say it does — and a team that admits what we don't yet know.
Better by design
Every detail matters. From the electrode geometry that maximises stimulation accuracy, to the app that lets you update your protocols as new research is published. We engineer for outcomes, not appearances. Eight products across seven years of development, each one better than the last.
From a research question to a range of devices
A small team, vagally obsessed
We're a small team based in London, UK. We don't have a boardroom full of executives or a marketing department that outnumbers our engineers. What we have is a deep belief that this technology can help people, and the technical skill to keep making it better.
Every device is designed here. Every firmware update, every stimulation protocol, every product decision — it all comes from people who use the product themselves and care about getting it right.
We ship to over 30 countries. We answer our own support emails. And we're nowhere near done.
How much better could you feel?
Whether you're vagally curious or ready to get started, we're here to help you take the next step.
