From Vagus Nerve Activation
to Improved Brain Health

BODUS is based on auricular vagus nerve stimulation (aVNS), a non-invasive approach that targets sensory branches of the vagus nerve accessible through the external ear.

Electrical stimulation of vagally innervated auricular regions activates afferent pathways projecting to the nucleus tractus solitarius (NTS) and other brainstem networks involved in autonomic regulation, arousal and neuroplasticity. Through these pathways, aVNS can influence broader neural circuits associated with sleep, stress, mood and cardiovascular regulation.

BODUS uses a multisite stimulation strategy designed to engage different auricular vagal territories while maintaining a compact and comfortable form factor. 

By combining targeted neuromodulation, miniaturized electronics and connected digital monitoring, BODUS is designed to make aVNS precise, wearable and suitable for everyday use.
