The research

The Science of NEO

NEO blends two time-honored practices, acupressure and magnetotherapy, in one jewelry-grade band. Here is an honest look at the research behind the ritual: what scientists have observed, and what we are still learning.

Stress, cortisol and your sleep

  • Ongoing stress keeps cortisol, the body's alert hormone, elevated well into the evening.
  • Higher evening cortisol is associated with lighter, more fragmented sleep and a slower wind-down.
  • Calming pre-sleep rituals help signal the body that it is safe to switch off. View research
Lower the stress load first. Deeper nights tend to follow.

Acupressure, studied

  • Meta-analyses of randomized trials report reduced anxiety scores across many populations. View research
  • Clinical studies link acupressure with improved sleep quality in adults. View research
  • It is gentle, non-invasive and low-risk, which is why hospitals study it as a complement to care.
A quiet practice with a growing body of evidence behind it.

Magnetotherapy, explored

  • Static magnets have been worn for comfort and balance for centuries, across many cultures.
  • Modern trials continue to explore circulation and everyday comfort. Findings are promising but mixed, and research is ongoing. View research
  • NEO uses four therapy-grade neodymium magnets, the same class found in premium wellness wearables.
The research continues. The daily ritual, for many wearers, is the point.

Why a ring works

  • The finger offers easy, constant contact with pressure points you would never stimulate consistently on your own.
  • A worn object becomes a habit anchor: seeing and feeling it cues your wind-down, every single day.
  • NEO is fully passive: no battery, no app, no signals, nothing to charge or sync.
Consistency is what makes gentle practices work. NEO makes consistency effortless.
A note on wellness

Magnetotherapy and acupressure are traditional wellness practices, and individual experiences vary. NEO is a wellness accessory, not a medical device. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition. If you are pregnant or use a pacemaker or another implanted device, please consult your doctor before wearing magnetic products.
