Vagal Tone Portal: Professional tVNS Customisation and Device Management

A Smarter Way to Manage Your tVNS Protocols

The Vagal Tone Portal is a streamlined platform designed for clinicians who need complete control over their transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS) protocols. Rather than being confined to factory presets, you can now build your own library of custom stimulation parameters and deploy them directly to your Vagal.com tVNS devices via Chrome—all without unnecessary complexity.

What You Get

1. Your Personal Tone Library

Create and manage a growing collection of custom stimulation protocols tailored to your clinical practice. Everything is stored locally in your browser, so you’ve got instant access whether you’re online or offline.

Key features:

• Fine-tune all essential parameters: session duration, target current, frequency, phase duration, and interphase intervals
• Organise tones by category (Wellness, Research, Therapy, Custom) for quick retrieval
• Search across your library to find the right protocol in seconds
• Access advanced settings including anti-habituation control, sham mode, and duty cycle configuration
• Give your tones descriptive names so you know exactly what each one does

2. Wireless Device Management

Connect your Vagal tVNS device via Bluetooth and take control. The portal shows you real-time device status, battery levels, firmware information, and which tone currently occupies each slot on your device.

Device connectivity:

• Search for and connect to nearby devices with a single tap
• View battery status, firmware version, and model information
• Authenticate securely with your client key
• Maintain stable connection throughout your session

3. Deploy Protocols in Seconds

Upload your custom tones to any of the three available device slots. It’s straightforward—select your tone, choose your slot, and deploy. The portal confirms when the upload completes successfully.

Tone slot management:

• Upload independently to slots 0, 1, or 2
• See which tone is stored in each slot at a glance
• Replace existing protocols on demand
• Get instant confirmation of successful uploads

4. Real-Time Session Control (Vagal Oh! Only)

If you’re using a Vagal Oh! device, you get additional control. Start and stop sessions directly from the dashboard, monitor actual current delivery, adjust intensity during therapy, and track elapsed time.

Session capabilities:

• Start and stop stimulation sessions on demand
• Monitor real-time status and timer
• View the actual current being delivered
• Increase or decrease intensity during active sessions

The Numbers: Complete Parameter Control

Here’s what you can customise with the Vagal Tone Portal:

Advanced Features You Can Access

Sham Mode: Configure protocols for blinded clinical trials. Set minimum current, ramping time, and max duration to create randomised inactive stimulation.

Anti-Habituation: Enable percentage-based parameter variation to prevent patients from developing tolerance to therapy over time.

Duty Cycle Control: Implement on/off switching patterns to optimise treatment schedules and therapeutic outcomes.

Device Display Names: Set custom two-line names that appear on the physical device during operation, making it clear which protocol is active.

Who Has Access to the Vagal Tone Portal?

The Vagal Tone Portal is available to clinicians who own either a Research Edition device or a Research Edition digital upgrade. All Vagal Oh! customers receive complimentary access at no additional cost.

What You Need

Research Edition Device Owners: If you’ve purchased a Vagal Research Edition tVNS device, you already have access to the portal.

Research Edition Digital Upgrade: Already own a Vagal tVNS Stimulator? Purchase the Research Edition digital upgrade to unlock full portal functionality and begin building your protocol library.

Vagal Oh! Customers: Your Vagal Oh! device includes complimentary access to the Tone Portal. You can start using it immediately.

Once you’ve got access, you’ll receive a client key that authenticates your account. This key enables secure protocol uploads to your devices and protects your patient data throughout every interaction.

Why Clinicians Choose This

Build a Protocol Library That Actually Matches Your Practice

Rather than recycling the same preset protocols for every patient, you can develop a personal library tailored to different presentations, symptom severities, and therapeutic goals. Over time, you’ll accumulate protocols that work brilliantly for your patient population.

Deploy Updates During Sessions

Noticed the patient’s responding differently than expected? Adjust your parameters, re-upload, and test a new approach. It takes seconds, not hours.

Support Rigorous Research

Need to run blinded trials? The sham mode functionality lets you create randomised inactive protocols alongside active ones. Your complete protocol history stays in your local library for proper documentation and audit trails.

Work Offline

Your entire tone library lives in your browser. Create protocols, manage them, and review your history whether you’re connected to the internet or not. No server dependencies, no cloud sync delays.

Secure Authentication

Every protocol upload is protected with secure validation. Only authorised uploads reach your devices—patient safety is built in.

A Typical Workflow

1. Preparation: Build custom tone protocols based on your clinical assessment and treatment goals
2. Connection: Search for and connect to the patient’s Vagal device via Bluetooth
3. Deployment: Select your tone and upload to the desired device slot
4. Verification: Confirm successful upload and check device status
5. Real-Time Monitoring: For Vagal Oh! devices, adjust parameters during the session if needed
6. Record Keeping: Your full protocol history stays in your local library for clinical documentation

What Makes It Different

Most tVNS platforms treat clinicians like they can’t be trusted with parameters. The Vagal Tone Portal trusts you completely. Every clinically relevant parameter is adjustable. Your protocols stay with you, not on some distant server. Deployment is instant, not tangled up in bureaucratic workflows.

You get the precision of a research tool with the simplicity of a clinical instrument.

Try It Today!

The Vagal Tone Portal gives you complete parameter control, rapid device deployment, and the flexibility to optimise therapy in real time. Whether you’re building protocols for different patient populations, running blinded trials, or simply refining your approach, you’ve got the tools you need—without unnecessary complexity getting in the way.
