It's the most easy-to-use and well-designed tDCS device. # Customize your stimulating strength Just tap the + button to increase the current little by little till you reach 2mA at most. After setup, there is no need to open the app every time you start the stimulation unless you want to improve by increasing the current strength. # Wireless, easy to carry on Plug and play after you set the current on the app. With the go-to travel case, take it with you everywhere you go. # Designed to be adaptable We designed the extendable arms and adjustable headset rings for a perfect fit while sitting stably on the head. You may stretch the arms and adjust the angles of the ring always to activate the right brain area you want. # Designed to be safe After testing more than 1000 volunteers, we made the patent current change speed to ensure that current increases or decreases safely for your best experience. The headset would automatically turn off if it's inactive.

Stressella is an ad-free, in-app purchase-free mindfulness-based stress reduction app. It doesn’t need WiFi, only takes one minute to set up, and one minute to use, so it’s super accessible if you’re in a rush! Stressella works by having you record yourself cyclic sighing (a very effective type of breathing for stress reduction) for one minute. Then, whenever you feel stressed, you can open Stressella and it will play your recording back to you for one minute while instructing you to cyclic sigh. In early 2024, it was tested out and received statistically significant results (p = 0.2929), where stress was reduced on average by 1 point on a 10-point scale. This is really good, because its means that Stressella is an effective form of stress reduction!
