A new vagus nerve stimulation device, Yōjō has been launched which provides biofeedback, expert support and personalised guidance to help people calm their bodies and minds.

The company claims that 30 minutes of vagus nerve stimulation a day can provide better sleep, less anxiety, sharper focus, and faster recovery after just four weeks. On average, Yōjō users see a 45 per cent reduction in stress markers and a 300 per cent improvement in nervous system flexibility and recovery.

The device uses an earpiece that stimulates the auricular branch of the vagus nerve in the outer ear to activate the body’s natural rest-and-digest response. The app uses biofeedback, such as heart rate, heart rate variability, stress index and parasympathetic activity to track progress via a face scan in the app, before and after each session. This function makes the process of nervous system regulation visible.

Yōjō also offers personalised support. Each user receives an initial consultation with a human coach to define personal health goals and map out a tailored plan. The coach then translates these goals into personalised daily tasks and protocols within the app. This support system includes access to ongoing guidance via in-app chat features and follow-up meetings, creating accountability and adaptation.

“Yōjō is an all-in-one longevity solution that makes nervous system health as routine as checking email,” says founder, Waldi Hoon. "In a world that feels faster and more demanding than ever, we built Yōjō as a simple, science-backed tool to restore balance. Whether it’s easing into restful sleep, resetting after a stressful day, or finding calm before an important moment, yōjō helps people reconnect with their natural equilibrium."

Retailing at £399 a year, a wide release is planned for early 2026.

Vagal nerve toning is becoming increasingly mainstream with a number of other vagus nerve stimulators are on the market including Sona and Nurosym.
