Q. Can you recommend a device to reduce my stress levels?

Anyone who has an iWatch should be familiar with the'Breathe' app, which uses the palpable haptic taps on your wrist to encourage you to take deep breaths, aiding in meditation and relaxation. The Apollo device is similar in that it produces low-frequency vibrations that stimulate the parasympathetic nervous system. This signalling of contact has been shown to reduce stress and aid in concentration by increasing heartbeat variability. Seven modes of the program can aid in various situations, from getting to sleep, to sharpening the mind, meditation, relaxation and waking up. The device is worn on the wrist or ankle, is approximately the sizeof a smartwatch and links to an app on your smartphone.The device can be purchased directly from the company for $349.
