Clinical-Grade Nervous System Regulation

A drug-free tool for calmer residents and resilient staff

01 — What Is Sensate

A Simple Tool for a Complex Problem

Sensate is a non-invasive device that uses gentle infrasonic vibrations paired with calming audio to activate the vagus nerve and regulate the nervous system. The result: measurable reductions in stress, anxiety, and physiological agitation.

Unlike wellness programs that require staff training, dedicated space, or ongoing facilitation, Sensate works independently. Residents simply place the device on their chest, press play, and experience a 10–20 minute calming session.

This isn't a consumer gadget repackaged for facilities. Sensate is purpose-built technology backed by research in vagal tone and nervous system regulation—now available at facility-scale pricing for operators who need practical, measurable interventions.

How It Works

  • 01Resident places the lightweight device on their chest while seated or lying down
  • 02Gentle infrasonic vibrations stimulate the vagus nerve—no sensation of "buzzing"
  • 03Paired audio guides the nervous system into a parasympathetic (calm) state
  • 0410–20 minute sessions integrate seamlessly into existing routines
02 — Why Facilities Adopt Sensate

This is not a consumer wellness gadget. It's operational infrastructure for care quality.

Senior living operators are deploying Sensate as a facility-level intervention—managed by care teams, integrated into daily programming, and measured against outcomes that matter to operators: agitation reduction, sleep quality, pharmaceutical dependency, and staff retention.

Non-Pharmaceutical

Reduces reliance on PRN sedatives and anti-anxiety medications. A meaningful complement to pharmacological care plans—a tool that can reduce frequency of acute interventions.

Zero Training Overhead

Place on chest. Press start. That's it. No certifications, no continuing education hours, no new workflows. CNAs and caregivers can facilitate sessions without disrupting existing routines.

Facility-Managed

This is not something families buy and drop off. It's a facility-owned tool, deployed strategically by your care team across resident programming and staff recovery—you control the protocol.

03 — Why Senior Living Operators Choose Sensate

Measurable Impact Across Your Entire Facility

Reduced Agitation

Particularly effective for dementia care—helps regulate mood and reduce restlessness without relying solely on pharmaceutical interventions.

Better Sleep Quality

When used during evening wind-down, Sensate helps residents transition to restful sleep—reducing nighttime disruptions for both residents and staff.

Staff Resilience

A quick 10-minute reset during breaks helps caregiving staff recover from the cumulative stress of high-touch environments.

No Training Burden

Your team is already stretched thin. Sensate requires no certification, no specialized training, and no ongoing facilitation.

Flexible Deployment

From shared devices in a "reset room" to individual units for higher-need residents—scale to match your facility's unique requirements.

Fast Implementation

Devices arrive ready to use. No infrastructure changes, no IT integration, no waiting. Pilot programs can launch within days of delivery.

04 — Dual-Track Impact

One device. Two populations. Measurable outcomes for both.

For Residents

Calm Without Chemicals

Infrasonic vibrations paired with calming audio regulate the nervous system in 10–20 minutes. Especially effective for residents with dementia, sundowning, or chronic anxiety—moments where medication is often the only lever available.

  • Evening wind-down to improve sleep onset
  • De-escalation during agitation episodes
  • Daily programming for anxiety-prone residents
  • Post-transition calming for new move-ins
For Staff

Reset, Not Just a Break

Caregiving environments produce chronic stress that a 15-minute lunch break doesn't resolve. Sensate gives staff a physiological reset—not just time off the floor, but actual nervous system recovery during shifts.

  • Break-room reset sessions (10 min)
  • Post-incident decompression
  • Staff retention & burnout reduction tool
  • Wellness benefit with zero admin overhead
05 — The Science

Vagus nerve regulation through infrasonic resonance

01

Place on Sternum

The device rests on the chest. Infrasonic waves travel via bone conduction to reach the vagus nerve pathway instantly. Residents don't need to "do" anything—they simply rest.

02

Nervous System Downregulates

The physical signal tells the autonomic nervous system to shift from sympathetic (fight-or-flight) to parasympathetic (rest-and-digest). This is a physiological response, not a behavioral one.

03

Cumulative Improvement

While single sessions produce immediate calm, regular use compounds. Over 28 days, facilities typically observe meaningful shifts in sleep patterns, agitation frequency, and medication utilization.

07 — Practical Applications

Built for the Realities of Senior Care

Resident Care

Evening Wind-Down Protocol

Integrate Sensate into the pre-bedtime routine for residents who struggle with sleep onset. A 15-minute session replaces the anxiety spiral that often leads to nighttime restlessness.

Dementia Care

Moments of Heightened Distress

When residents experience agitation or confusion, Sensate provides immediate, non-pharmacological intervention. Staff can deploy it quickly without waiting for medical consultation.

Staff Wellness

Break Room Reset Station

Position devices in staff break areas. A 10-minute session during lunch or between shifts helps caregivers return to the floor with renewed presence and patience.

Facility-Wide

Designated Calm Spaces

Create a "reset room" where both residents and staff can access Sensate sessions. A shared wellness resource that reinforces your facility's commitment to holistic care.

08 — Deployment Model

Flexible enough to pilot. Simple enough to scale.

Most facilities begin with a small cohort—5 to 10 devices deployed across resident routines and a staff "reset room." This allows operators to evaluate real impact on sleep quality, agitation incidents, and staff burnout before committing to facility-wide rollout.

Sensate doesn't require new infrastructure. No Wi-Fi dependencies. No software integration. No dedicated staff. Devices charge via USB and connect to a companion app on any smartphone or tablet already on-site. The entire setup takes under five minutes per device.

Bulk pricing is structured for facility-scale deployment, making it economically viable to equip multiple units, wings, or buildings. Volume discounts apply to both initial purchases and expansion orders.

Recommended: 30-Day Pilot Program

Start with 3–5 devices deployed across resident routines and staff recovery cycles. Track impact on sleep quality, agitation incidents, and staff feedback. Use real data from your own facility to inform expansion decisions.

Pilot Program Includes

  • 5–10 Sensate devices at bulk pricing
  • Suggested protocols for resident use and staff recovery
  • 30-day outcome tracking template
  • Dedicated account support for deployment questions
  • Scalable pricing tiers for facility-wide expansion
Memory Care Priority

Facilities often prioritize memory care units first, then expand to assisted living and staff programming.

Shared Calm Room

Centralize devices in a designated wellness space accessible to both residents and staff.

Individual Assignment

Assign dedicated units to higher-need residents for consistent daily use.

Staff Wellness Program

Dedicate devices specifically for caregiver recovery—a direct investment in retention and quality of care.

09 — Bulk Pricing

Enterprise pricing for facility-scale deployment

Sensate offers volume-based pricing for senior living operators—whether you're piloting across one community or deploying across a portfolio. Pricing is structured to make piloting low-risk and scaling straightforward. Every facility has different census sizes, acuity mixes, and budgets. We'll build a pricing package around your specific deployment plan—not a one-size-fits-all SKU.
