About this study

The purpose of this study is to examine how Transcutaneous Vibratory Stimulation (TVS) produced by the Apollo wearable affects sleep and cardiovascular function in a diverse real-world population of Apollo users.

Read the detailed description

The Apollo wearable is a consumer wellness device that offers a non-invasive, non-habit-forming wearable solution to improve performance and recovery under stress in children and adults by delivering gentle wave-like vibrations (Transcutaneous Vibratory Stimulation) to the body.

In this observational cohort study, we will assess sleep and cardiovascular metrics measured during sleep by Oura ring in participants who use Apollo wearable device both historically (2 years in the past) as well as in the future (two years forward). Participants will not be required to make any changes to their activities of daily living or lifestyle except for the continued use of their Apollo wearable devices and answer periodic questionnaires through an online survey tool.

Participant data for days with and without using the Apollo wearable will be analyzed to identify the near term and long term effects of using a TVS device on sleep and cardiovascular signatures. Environmental and confounding data will be derived from the survey data and biometrics data from the wearables.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Average Heart Rate during sleep

    The average heart rate measured during sleep in beats per minute

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 years

  2. Heart Rate Variability during sleep

    The Heart Rate Variability value measured during sleep in milli seconds

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 years

  3. Lowest Heart Rate during sleep

    The lowest Heart Rate measured during sleep in beats per minutes

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 years

  4. Sleep Onset

    The amount of time it takes to fall asleep once you are on the bed in seconds

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 years

  5. Sleep efficiency

    The proportion of time spent sleeping to total time in bed

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 years

  6. Wake time during sleep

    Total amount of time spent awake during a sleep session in seconds

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 years

  7. Sleep duration

    Total amount of time spent sleeping in seconds

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 years

  8. Deep sleep duration

    Total amount of time spent in deep sleep during sleep sessions in seconds

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 years

  9. REM sleep duration

    Total amount of time spent in REM sleep during sleep sessions in seconds

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 years

  10. Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI)

    The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is a self-rated questionnaire which assesses sleep quality and disturbances over a 1-month time interval. With a range of scores 1-21.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 years

Secondary outcomes (1)
  1. Oura Sleep Score

    A proprietary Oura score (0-100) assigned to daily sleep based on sleep quality, age, gender, and sleep metrics.

    Measured: Through study completion, an average of 4 years

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Sleep Quality and Heart Rate, run by Apollo Neuroscience, Inc. at 1 site in United States.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 2 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: withdrawn, as of the sponsor's last update on 9 Jul 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in United States. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

The study was withdrawn before enrolling participants, so there are no results.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Average Heart Rate during sleep (time frame: Through study completion, an average of 4 years). The study lists 10 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 9 Jul 2024; AzTrials last refreshed its copy on 2 Nov 2026.
