Overview
The Pulsetto Vagus Nerve Stimulator is a wearable wellness device engineered to deliver non-invasive transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS). Worn around the neck, the device utilizes low-level electrical impulses intended to engage the parasympathetic nervous system, often referred to as the body's rest and digest state. Available in two distinct models—the standard Pulsetto Lite and the premium Pulsetto FIT—the system is positioned as a modern biohacking tool for stress management, relaxation, and sleep support, rather than a clinical medical treatment.

How It Works
Pulsetto operates via transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation. Users apply a proprietary conductive gel to their neck to ensure optimal electrical contact, position the wearable device, and initiate a session using the companion Bluetooth smartphone app. The app controls the device's output, offering five distinct stimulation programs: Stress, Worry, Sleep, Burnout, and Pain Management. A standard session lasts four minutes, during which the device delivers targeted microcurrents through the skin to stimulate the underlying vagus nerve.
