Auricular VNS
Planned gentle stimulation at the outer ear, an area with branches of the vagus nerve.
The opportunity
A growing need.
A better solution.
Many adults live with stress, poor sleep, sensory overload and difficulty focusing. Existing tools often aren't wearable or designed for everyday life. STIMS is building discreet, chic support for a calmer, more regulated everyday.
Science + technology
Multiple signals. One integrated experience.
Preliminary published research on auricular vagus nerve stimulation is promising. The STIMS device itself has not yet been tested in people, and no STIMS outcomes are claimed.
PPG / HRV sensing
Planned sensing of signals such as heart rate and heart rate variability.
Personalization
Planned adaptation to your routines — calm, focus, sleep, recovery.
Software experience
Simple guided sessions and gentle check-ins through the STIMS app.
The road ahead
From prototype to people.
