Nuropod is your new essential health companion delivering patented and scientifically validated neuromodulation technology, signaling your nervous system for outcomes in health and performance. Scientifically validated in 50+ scientific studies with top institutions like Harvard and UCLA.
Nuropod sends patented electrical signals to the brain via the vagus nerve, activating specific mechanisms that can counter dysregulation in the nervous system and significantly improve health outcomes, as proven by scientific studies.
Nuropod is the most studied non-invasive vagal neuromodulation system in the world.
What does Nuropod do
With Nuropod you can:
How does Nuropod achieve all of this?
Vagus Nerve science is well established and Nuropod is a wearable device that is scientifically proven to modulate the vagus nerve via precise electrical impulses that are sent through the skin to a branch of the nerve on the outer ear that projects to the brain. Modern science has discovered that many persistent mental & physical symptoms are linked to a chronically dysregulated nervous system. The nervous system and one of its largest nerves - the vagus nerve - controls critical bodily functions, from breathing, heart rate, digestion to energy management, calmness and mood. When the vagus nerve is not functioning properly, symptoms can surface that relate to these processes (e.g. chronic tiredness or chronic stress). By signaling the nervous system in a natural way through modulating the activity of the vagus nerve, Nuropod helps to bring the body find back to its healthy state and manatin it in balance.
In this way Nuropod can support mental and physical health, helping alleviate symptoms arising from dysregulation in the nervous system.
Nuropod exerts its effects through various mechanisms:
Nuropod has been validated in 50+ completed scientific trials, third party tested and certified to the highest standard of devices that send signals to the vagus nerve. Nuropod was developed by Parasym, a world leading neurotechnology company, and uses Parasym’s proprietary Auricular Vagal Neuromodulation Therapy (AVNT)™ which has been studied in partnership with leading scientific research institutions including Harvard and UCLA.
Nuropod is the most scientifically validated device for targeting the vagus nerve via the ear available without prescription. It is the most studied neuromodulation system of this kind, widely considered as the gold standard by doctors and researchers.
Symptoms studied
Parasym’s AVNT technology has been scientifically studied in 50+ completed studies across a broad spectrum of populations and health and performance applications.
A focus of scientific studies has been on dysregulation of the autonomic nervous system. These symptoms have been linked to autonomic nervous system imbalance and vagus nerve impairment:
Our latest research data also suggests Nuropod improves learning, short-term memory and cognition.
Nuropod has been shown to promote relaxation, mood, sleep, healthy digestion, and increase HRV. Improved stress management alleviates symptoms of stress, burnout, and adrenal fatigue.
Parasym research is also investigating the impact of Auricular Vagal Neuromodulation Therapy on athletic performance, muscle recovery, weight management problems, substance dependency and more.
If you’re not sure if Nuropod is for you, consult with your health professional or contact support.

Why trust Nuropod?
Gold standard in scientific research
Developed in London, England, Scientifically Studied in the United States
Independently scientifically studied in U.S.A, third party evaluated and certified
Proven target activity
Efficacy confirmed in Randomised Placebo Controlled Studies
Certifications & Safety
Nuropod is the most scientifically studied device of this kind and considered safe when used as intended. Most users encounter no issues and the most commonly reported issue with using Nuropod is a mild irritation on the skin where the electrodes are placed, however this is rare and typically resolves after ceasing use.
Nuropod has been evaluated in rigorous independent scientific studies and shown excellent safety profiles. The technology powering Nuropod, AVNT (Auricular Vagal Neuromodulation Therapy), has been certified to the highest standard of devices that send electrical signals to the vagus nerve by third party laboratories.
AVNT has now been used widely with over 4M+ user sessions and 0 serious adverse events reported in studies to date.
If you are unsure whether Nuropod is right for you, be sure to contact your health care provider.

Stress Management
Emotional resilience is key for mood and countering anxious thoughts. Use Nuropod to downregulate your body's "flight-or-fight" response and stabilize your mental state within minutes. Retrain your nervous system to relax and adapt under stressors.

"I have been using the device for just over a week and I can honestly say I already feel like a different person."
Charlotte
innate energy
Burnout, chronic tiredness, dizziness, and pain make even simple tasks feel exhausting. When your nervous system is out of balance, stress lingers, inflammation rises, and recovery slows – leaving you drained no matter how much you rest. Nuropod helps reset your autonomic function, reducing inflammation and improving vagal tone, so you wake up refreshed, stay energized, and feel resilient all day.
Real people. Real results.

"Honestly, l've seen such a big difference. I don't have as many days where I'm so exhausted I can barely move"
Francesca
Health & Longevity
Greatness isn’t just about pushing harder – it’s about recovering smarter. Poor sleep and inflammation strain the heart, slow recovery, and accelerate cognitive decline. Nuropod has shown the ability to reduce multiple inflammatory markers, support HRV and cardiovascular health, help recovery from sports/injury, and aid neuroplasticity – so you can heal faster, think sharper, and sustain long-term resilience.
