The Science of Vagus Nerve Stimulation (VNS)
Vagus nerve stimulation can be achieved non-invasively through targeting specific auricular fibres in the ear.
As a key cranial nerve in the human nervous system, the vagus nerve carries signals of the body's state of balance (homeostasis) to- and from- the brain. In common health conditions, there is often an imbalance of these signals causing underlying discomfort and symptoms.
NX08 wearable uses auricular fibre vagus nerve stimulation (afVNS) - through carefully bioengineered neuromodulation patterns - to stimulate the vagus nerve and naturally rebalance the nervous system for improved health.
Neural Mechanisms of afVNS
By directly activating sensory A-beta nerve fibres in the ear, afVNS stimulates the auriculo-vagal neural pathways, shifting the nervous system toward a parasympathetic "rest and digest" state—the body's natural relaxed mode.

NX08 Neurotechology
Wireless & Wearable
NX08 neurotechnology delivers optimized bioelectrical formulae to activate auricular fibers of the vagus nerve, achieving better health outcomes in a shorter period of time. Built on expertly developed bioengineering that maximizes performance, it offers an advanced, user-centric solution for improved health and well-being.
Advanced Neuromodulation
Neuropix NX08 wearable works in a different way to transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) machines

NX08 Wearable
NX08 uses optimized afVNS to work with key neural anatomical pathways rather than inhibition or blockade of sensory stimulation. Through precise electrode placement to auricular fibres, it modulates central and peripheral nervous system pathways to improve health and progressively ease discomfort and symptoms.

TENS
TENS units, by contrast, operate by stimulating local nerves andcompeting with local sensory nerve fibers to block them. As a result, TENS must be applied directly at the site of pain to block pain or muscle ache when it occurs.
Scientific Data
NX08 neuromodulation is backed by over a decade of scientific and clinical research confirming that afVNS is a safe and feasible application. Published studies have demonstrated its health benefits, establishing afVNS as a safe, accessible alternative to medication.
Health Conditions for afVNS therapy

Health Indications
afVNS therapy is used to reduce anxiety and stress, address sleep disturbances, and support healthier aging. It is not an acute therapy and may take several weeks to take effect. Designed as a self-applied treatment, it can be used at the user's convenience. For full healthcare indications, please contact the Neuropix team for further information.

Safety Information
afVNS therapy should not be used by pregnant women, persons with active implants (e.g., cochlear implants, vagus nerve stimulators, or pacemakers), cerebral shunts, or on diseased skin. Users with underlying cardiac conditions should consult their medical doctor to determine suitability. For full use instructions and safety information, please refer to the user manuals.
