Yes! Roga is based on decades of scientific research investigating the use of non-invasive brain stimulation to reduce stress.
Roga uses an exceptionally small electric current (less than 0.5 milliamps) to gently stimulate the brain. The stimulation feels like a slight tingling sensation on the skin.
The Roga device has undergone rigorous electrical safety testing (IEC 62368). The stimulation provided is safe and effective. Less than <1% of users may experience a mild headache, dizziness, nausea, or skin irritation. If this happens, decrease the intensity level of the Roga device or turn off the device and remove the patches from the skin. Symptoms will subside quickly.
We recommend not applying Roga to irritated or injured skin.
Roga is designed to restore balance to the nervous system using Non-Invasive Vagus Nerve Stimulation.
The device delivers gentle electrical pulses to the Vagus Nerve innervations behind the ear, specifically at the mastoid process (the bony area behind the ear).
Stimulating this sensory nerve sends direct feedback signals to key brain regions involved in stress regulation:
By influencing these critical brain areas, Roga helps regulate the autonomic nervous system, enhancing parasympathetic activation.
This promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and supports overall well-being, making it a valuable tool for mental and emotional balance.
Roga users should expect less stress within two weeks of consistent daily use. The more consistent you are, the better the results.
Roga stimulation patterns are designed to facilitate natural states of relaxation. Roga pulses speak the language of the nervous system and are designed to decrease brain activity associated with severe stress, worry, and rumination.
Roga works by reducing activity within an area of the brain called the default mode network (DMN), which is responsible for worry, rumination, and stressful thoughts. With each Roga session, activity in the DMN becomes quieter leaving you more relaxed, focused, and more centered.
Check out the setup guide for an overview of the process on how to setup your Roga device.
Your Roga device uses indicator lights to show its current status:
Roga's stimulation has often been described as a slight buzzing or tingling sensation on the skin. When you first use Roga, the feeling may be unfamiliar to you, but it becomes less noticeable over time, and many users say they don’t notice the sensation beyond the first use.
*Please note: you DO NOT have to ‘feel’ the stimulation in order to get results.
The best results will come from consistent daily use of the device and by setting stimulation intensity to a comfortable level.
If the stimulation is uncomfortable turn down the intensity by adjusting the slider on the device.
The vast majority of users find maximum intensity quite comfortable.
If the blue light 🔵 is ON, and you can see the device as active in the Mobile App, then the stimulation is ON and working.
Please make sure you set the intensity slider to the MAX level.
If you can't feel the stimulation that is normal.
Please note you DO NOT have to feel the stimulation for it to work.
Some people are more sensitive than others, but the effects remain the same.
In fact, all of our clinical studies are done at sub-sensory levels, yet participants still experience the benefits.
Yes absolutely!
You can follow these steps:
1. Open the Roga app
2. In the Device tab click on the "Connect" button
3. Once the device appears as connected click on the "Start Stimulation" button
4. You'll then see a 60min timer will start.
5. You can minimize the Roga app and swith to any other app.
This will allow you to log your Roga session while using other apps and keep your session metrics.
* Please make sure you have downloaded the latest version of the Roga app from the AppStore
There are 3 ways to know if your device is not properly connected:

How to Proceed?
Once your device shows as connected in the Device Tab go ahead and start a video session from the library or start stimulation directly from the Device tab.
As soon as you start a video session the light on the devices will turn Blue 🔵 which means the stimulation is active
Yes, Roga can be used with other apps.!
To use the Roga device with other apps like Youtube, Netflix or Spotify, you'll need to follow these steps:
1. Open the Roga app
2. In the Device tab click on the "Connect" button
3. Once the device appears as connected click on the "Start Stimulation" button
4. You'll then see a 60min timer will start.
5. You can minimize the Roga app and swith to any other app.
This will allow you to log your Roga session while using other apps and keep your session metrics.
* Please make sure you have the latest version of the Roga app from the AppStore
In order to change the electrode pads, just pull lightly on the electrodes until they unsnap from the earhook.
Grab a fresh pair of electrodes from the electrode bag and snap them in directly to the earhooks.
You can follow the setup guide for reference.
Need more Electrode Pads?
You can order more Electrode Pads here.
When is time to replace the Electrode Pads?
You should replace the electrode pads if either of these 2 happen:
How often should I change the Electrode Pads?
On average, electrode pads last about 5 to 10 sessions, but this can vary depending on your skin type and the humidity where you live.
To extend their lifespan, store them in the pouch after every session.
*Extra Tip: You can also try adding a drop of water to the sticky side of the pads, this will increase the lifespan of the Electrode and improve adhesion / conductivity.
The electrodes are made of a medical grade hydrogel and have undergone extensive biocompatibility testing.
Less than 1% of users report mild skin irritation, which typically subsides within a few minutes after removing the electrodes. If irritation persists, discontinue use and consult a healthcare professional.
Even though you plug the device directly into your phone, iOS still needs “Local Network” permission to communicate with the device.
This does not mean the device is accessing your home network or collecting any personal information—it’s simply how iOS enables data transfer for certain hardware accessories. Everything stays between your phone and the device, and your private home network data remains secure.
Less than 1% of users report a mild, temporary headache, dizziness, nausea, or skin irritation when using the device.
If you experience any of these symptoms, please stop the session immediately. The symptoms should subside within a few minutes. If you continue to feel unwell please consult a healthcare professional.
1. The Roga device should not be used with implanted devices such as pacemakers or defibrillators, or if metal implants are present in the neck or head.
2. Patients with epilepsy should use the Roga device under the supervision of a licensed healthcare practitioner.
3. The Roga device should not be used during pregnancy or by individuals under 18.

There are 2 alternatives:
Yes! Non-Invasive Peripheral Vagus Nerve Stimualtion, the core technology behind Roga, has been shown to help modulate physiological biomarkers linked to stress symptoms such as heart rate and Heart Rate Variability, as well as alpha and beta brain waves. In multiple studies, participants who engaged in regular Roga sessions experienced significant reduction in stress symptoms. 91% of patients reported improvements in mood, emotional regulation, and overall mental health, making Roga a reliable and proven tool for stress management. For more information check out the Roga Science Page.
