Finnish neuro-wellness startup Audicin has announced a unique wearable that aims to help users manage stress and accelerate recovery throughout the workday—even in environments where phones aren’t permitted.
The brand’s new standalone and offline wearable, which utilizes neuroscience-based audio protocols to guide the brain toward states of calm and focus passively, arrives as part of its ‘Audicin 2.0’ update (that also includes an updated companion app).
While most mindfulness tools require more active attention, like the recently announced Neurable MW75 LT, Audicin’s approach is passive. It uses binaural beats embedded within original music compositions to gently guide brainwave activity, a process known as psychoacoustic entrainment.
It’s claimed that this allows users to trigger a recovery response while continuing to perform other tasks—and without needing to stop and meditate.
Passive programming
Instead of replacing existing health and wellness trackers, Audicin also says its platform is designed to work alongside them. It integrates with Oura, Apple, Garmin, and Whoop, leaving the opportunity open to tailor its audio interventions based on real-time stress data from these devices.
It also cites the growing number of peer-reviewed studies on binaural beats as validation for its technology, as well as the potential for rises in HRV figures and dips in self-reported stress scores.
Since the device is designed for high-security or phone-restricted environments (such as healthcare, finance, or defense settings), it’s also more widely accessible than most trackers.
The Audicin app is available now with a 30-day free trial, and users can join the waitlist for the offline device via the startup’s website. We’ll be testing this one out over the coming months, so stay tuned for our real-world experience with the platform.
