This vibrating app makes you feel better just by putting your iPhone on your heart
Briefly

Dr. David Rabin's Apollo app transforms an iPhone into a healing device by using vibrations to stimulate the vagus nerve, crucial for relaxation and recovery. With over 20 years of research on chronic stress and trauma treatment, Rabin and his team at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center sought non-drug treatments, finding that vibration therapy promotes a natural state of calm. They discovered that similar to soothing touch or calming music, these vibrations can effectively activate the body’s relaxation response, thus aiding in stress reduction and healing.
