In a world surrounded by technology, it may seem counterproductive to seek calm and reprieve from an electronic device. And yet, we have technology to thank for some of the most calming tools available to help us unwind and destress. Thanks to modern tech, we can access science-backed methods and programs at the tip of our fingerprints, touch of a button, or by simply closing our eyes. Sounds and music can produce extremely calming effects.

Sensate is one such device using the natural power of sound to reduce stress and anxiety through infrasonic resonance. Sleep quality has also been noted to improve after use of Sensate. A breakthrough in wellness tech, Sensate calms your body’s nervous system through sonic resonance, providing not only immediate relief, but also long-term benefits. You can improve your own resilience to stress, as well as increase your heart rate variability. Developed by doctors, you can lie back and put on your headphones for 10 to 30 minutes to savor soothing, smart-touch sound therapy. Sensate’s healing vibrations even mimic the effect when a cat purrs.

And if you’re struggling to fall asleep from the stress of the day, Apollo Neuro helps you get some shuteye without counting sheep. The Apollo touch therapy experience offers a comprehensive wellness service via a wearable user experience to not only monitor, but to also improve, your sleep quality. Better sleep, relaxation, and most of all, focus are all at the touch of your fingertips. Wear it on your wrist, ankle, or clip to your shirt, wherever you go, Apollo can travel. Through the Apollo App, you can select seven focus areas for your health journey, including: Sleep and Renew, Relax and Unwind, and Clear and Focused. Soothing vibrations help you chill out and take it easy after a long day — or even socialize anxiety-free. The more you use it, the better it works, with studies showing that use at least five days a week is proven to significantly strengthen your nervous system and boost stress resilience.

And if you’re looking for an extremely quick fix to daily stress, CalmiGo claims you’ll achieve a calm state of mind in three minutes — sans side effects. By using three fool-proof techniques to reduce stress — breathing regulation, multi-sensory stimulation and calming scents — Calmi-Go trains your brain to turn off “fight or flight” mode. By kickstarting the parasympathetic nervous system, known for “quiet and digest” responses, CalmiGo enables you to stop feeling anxious within three minutes of use. The SNS, sympathetic nervous system, is active when stressed, physically active, or in danger. The heart rate raises, as a response to danger. Calmi-Go negates this effect and kick-starts the parasympathetic nervous system, PSNS, which conserves our body’s activity and relaxes us post-activity. Best of all, Calmi-Go is extremely portable, so you can have it with you for immediate use, should you experience a spike of stress.

Backed by NBA player Kevin Love, another tool to combat stress is Cove, which uses effective touch technology to naturally enhance your mental resilience. According to neuroscientists, you can strengthen mental resilience just by enhancing special receptors on skin. Cove triggers an effective touch response — much like the comforting embrace of a baby in a parent's arms or when holding a loved one — which can calm our nervous system, and as a result, improve sleep patterns and boost mental health. Overall, it’s a touch-based tool to stress less, think better and clearer.

And for those truly wanting to get some stress-free shuteye, Therabody Eye Massager SmartGoggles are the world’s only eye mask powered by SmartSense Technology.

SmartGoggles aren’t solely for sleep; slip them on when you have a headache from staring at the screen to relieve tension.

Whether used at night or during the day, kick-starting the SmartRelax mode delivers personalized vibrations to lower heart rate to soothe strain and sync your body and mind in a more relaxed state. Advanced statistics are available on the Therabody App for further monitoring. Feeling good and being healthy are an investment, and thanks to the growing demand for wellness-centered technology, you can expect even more devices such as these to pop up on the market.
