Pulsetto is a Lithuanian health tech firm known for producing wearable devices for the non-invasive stimulation of the vagus nerve (tVNS).[1] The company offers its product primarily for consumer wellness applications, such as stress reduction, sleep support, and general relaxation.[2]
History
editPulsetto was founded in 2021 and is located in Vilnius, Lithuania.[3] It was formed with the aim of introducing research in neuroscience and bioelectronic medicine into consumer-oriented wellness hardware.[3]
Pulsetto has developed its flagship wearable device since its inception based on the developments in non-invasive nerve stimulation.[4] The company operates within the broader human health services and technology industry and offers its product for use in self-managed wellness programs.[5]
In 2025,Pulsetto secured a €2 million investment from Scalewolf, a Lithuanian dual-use technology accelerator and VC fund to expand vagus nerve stimulation tech into defence applications.[6]
Products and services
editPulsetto manufactures a wearable device that is designed to deliver transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation.[7] The device is worn on the neck and it utilizes low-frequency electrical stimulation to directly stimulate the vagus nerve through the skin.[8] The device is accompanied by a mobile application that provides varied pre-set stimulation programs which are organized under wellness terms such as stress, sleep, anxiety, burnout, and pain support. The modes can be selected and the intensity of stimulation can be adjusted via the app by the users.[9][10]
Pulsetto's operational model includes direct-to-consumer sales through their website.[11] Their signature device is sold as a standalone product, and other accessories such as gel pads and travel cases are available for sale separately.[11]
Scientific basis
editPulsetto is grounded in scientific research on the vagus nerve and its role in autonomic control, including its effects on stress response, sleep, and mood control.[12] The product is based on transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS), which has been researched in various clinical and experimental settings.[12]
