Prapela's is developing consumer products and medical devices featuring Stochastic Vibrotactile Stimulation (SVS) to improve infant health. SVS is a patented, gentle vibration that is sleep cycle friendly and non-habit forming.

Peer-review medical journals report SVS significantly improves relaxation, breathing and heart-rate in hyperirritable babies and preemies with apnea of prematurity. Developed over a ten-year period at Harvard's Wyss Institute, the University of Massachusetts Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, SVS has been licensed to Prapela to introduce products to improve infant health. Our initial focus is in helping opioid-exposed newborns at home and babies diagnosed and treated for neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) in the hospital.  https://prapela.com
