Brief summary
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.
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.

Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) | Through study completion, an average of 4 years | 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. |
| Average Heart Rate during sleep | Through study completion, an average of 4 years | The average heart rate measured during sleep in beats per minute |
| Heart Rate Variability during sleep | Through study completion, an average of 4 years | The Heart Rate Variability value measured during sleep in milli seconds |
| Lowest Heart Rate during sleep | Through study completion, an average of 4 years | The lowest Heart Rate measured during sleep in beats per minutes |
| Sleep Onset | Through study completion, an average of 4 years | The amount of time it takes to fall asleep once you are on the bed in seconds |
| Sleep efficiency | Through study completion, an average of 4 years | The proportion of time spent sleeping to total time in bed |
| Wake time during sleep | Through study completion, an average of 4 years | Total amount of time spent awake during a sleep session in seconds |
| Sleep duration | Through study completion, an average of 4 years | Total amount of time spent sleeping in seconds |
| Deep sleep duration | Through study completion, an average of 4 years | Total amount of time spent in deep sleep during sleep sessions in seconds |
| REM sleep duration | Through study completion, an average of 4 years | Total amount of time spent in REM sleep during sleep sessions in seconds |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Oura Sleep Score | Through study completion, an average of 4 years | A proprietary Oura score (0-100) assigned to daily sleep based on sleep quality, age, gender, and sleep metrics. |
