The TouchPoints Essentials is a wearable neurosensory system developed to modulate physiological stress responses through bilateral alternating stimulation (BLAST). The pair of compact devices operates by generating alternating tactile vibrations, one on each side of the body to influence the autonomic nervous system, reducing sympathetic arousal and promoting parasympathetic balance.
Each device contains an independent vibration motor and control module housed in an impact-resistant polymer enclosure. When activated, the units produce synchronized alternating pulses designed to disrupt repetitive stress signaling and support regulation of heart rate and muscle tension. Typical applications include short stress-intervention sessions (15–30 minutes) or continuous low-intensity use during daily tasks.
The system has three adjustable frequency settings (slow, medium, fast) and operates manually, without a mobile application. The devices can be worn using included clips, placed in pockets, or attached to compatible wrist or sweatbands. Power is supplied by a rechargeable lithium-ion battery charged through a dual-pronged USB cable.

How to use
Place TouchPoints on both sides of your body (using straps, socks, pockets, or holding them in your palms) when you feel stressed.
The gentle vibrations help calm you, improve focus, and support better sleep and performance.
Choose from three speed settings: slow, medium, or fast.

Essentials are compatible with all TouchPoint wristbands and accessories.
Start with the slowest vibration setting: Begin on the lowest intensity mode and after 5 minutes assess how you feel, then adjust upward only if needed.
Place one device on each side of the body: For best effect, wear the two units symmetrically (one left, one right) even if you feel the vibration through clothing.
Use before known stressful events: Wear the devices 15-30 minutes before, for example, a meeting, exam or presentation, to pre-empt stress rather than wait until you're overwhelmed.
Wear in everyday settings: You can clip the units onto pockets, socks or belts during your normal workday, commute or home tasks, stress relief doesn’t only start at bedtime.
Recharge regularly: Make sure the devices and charging case are kept charged (usually 2-3 hours for full charge) so you’re ready when you need them.
Clean gently: Wipe the units with a soft damp cloth or wipes and mild soap. Do not submerge in water, use alcohol wipes, or expose to high heat.
Store in a cool, dry place: Keep the units away from direct sunlight, high humidity or heat sources to preserve the vibration motor and housing.
Match intensity to your state: Use lower intensity when mildly stressed; step up to medium or high only if you feel agitation or high arousal.
Pair with breathing or grounding exercises: For maximum benefit, use TouchPoints while focusing on your breathing or doing a short body-scan to enhance calming effect.
Take advantage of nocturnal use: Wear them before bedtime or when wakeful at night to reduce arousal and help transition into sleep.
Check clips and attachments: Ensure clips are secure and units are stable on your body, loose positioning can reduce effect or cause distraction.
Alternate wear positions: If wrists feel sensitive, clip them to your pocket, belt or socks, effectiveness remains if you can feel the vibration.
Avoid use after heavy alcohol or sedatives: If your alertness or breathing is compromised, skip using the device until you are fully recovered.
Monitor any skin irritation: If you notice redness or discomfort at the attachment site, give your skin a break or shift placement.
Keep a small travel pouch: When travelling, store your devices in a protective case to avoid damage from movement, pressure or temperature change.
Note changes over time: Record your stress or sleep quality before and after using TouchPoints to track if the device is helping you long-term.
Use consistently for better results: Regular use (even just a few minutes each day) helps retrain your nervous system, rather than only occasional use.
Avoid loud or disruptive placement: The vibration sound is quiet but can be felt, if you’re in a very quiet environment and notice the sound, tuck units inside fabric.
Be realistic about expectations: TouchPoints help reduce physiological stress response but are not a substitute for professional mental health or medical therapy.
The TouchPoints Essentials devices use bilateral alternating stimulation (BLAST), a neurosensory method that delivers alternating vibrations between the left and right sides of the body. This pattern interacts with the autonomic nervous system, helping shift neural activity from a sympathetic “fight-or-flight” state to a parasympathetic “rest-and-focus” balance. The alternating frequency and amplitude synchronize with hemispheric brain responses, producing measurable reductions in physiological stress markers like heart rate variability and muscle tension.
Dual-Device Wearable System
The kit includes two synchronized units, one for each side of the body, that can be placed on the wrists, pockets, socks, or palms using the included clips. The devices work through manual control and have three vibration intensity levels (slow, medium, and fast). It does not require wireless pairing or mobile apps, minimizing latency and simplifying use during travel, work, or clinical sessions.
Neurophysiological Mechanism of Action
TouchPoints function through peripheral vibration stimulation, which modulates neural signaling in the amygdala and hypothalamus, the regions that control emotional and autonomic stress responses. By introducing rhythmic tactile input across both hemispheres, the devices promote cortical desynchronization of anxiety-related neural activity, facilitating a return to autonomic equilibrium. This mechanism is based in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing) and other evidence-based therapies utilizing bilateral sensory cues.
Construction and Materials
Each TouchPoints unit is made from a polymer composite housing for impact resistance and durability under repeated vibration cycles. The casing’s matte surface limits fingerprint adhesion and dissipates static. Internal vibration motors are microbalanced to maintain amplitude across three power settings with an acoustic output between 40–50 dB. All materials are non-latex and BPA-free.
Power System and Battery Performance
The devices use rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and a dual-pronged USB cable that charges both units simultaneously. A full charge supports several hours of use, depending on intensity and frequency. Micro-USB ports include overcurrent protection and balancing circuitry to extend cell life. Typical sessions last 15–30 minutes, supporting clinical stress-relief protocols.
Acoustic and Tactile Performance
TouchPoints generate mechanical vibration in the 80–120 Hz range, targeting skin mechanoreceptors without creating disruptive resonance. The vibration is discreet and suitable for shared or quiet environments. Sound levels stay near 45 dB—below normal conversation—making the devices ideal for rest, meditation, or nighttime relaxation.
Operational Procedure and Control Interface
To use, power on both devices, place them symmetrically on the body, and select a speed using the tactile button. Vibration starts instantly and runs until turned off manually. The system does not use Bluetooth; internal controllers keep both units synchronized for phase-aligned bilateral stimulation.
Applications in Stress and Cognitive Regulation
TouchPoints are used to manage stress, anxiety, ADHD-related symptoms, and sleep latency. Regular sessions improve focus, emotional regulation, and autonomic balance by disrupting stress-response patterns. Published pilot studies show decreased skin conductance and heart rate variability after short sessions of bilateral stimulation.
Maintenance and Durability
Clean the outer housing with a damp cloth and mild soap. Avoid heat and submersion, as the sealed motor and battery are not waterproof. Devices retain consistent vibration amplitude for over 500 cycles. Accessories like cables and wristbands are interchangeable without affecting performance.
Compliance and Safety Certification
The TouchPoints Essentials system is CE and FCC certified as a general wellness device, not a medical tool. It meets IEC 60601-1-11 standards for battery-powered wellness electronics. Each unit is tested for vibration accuracy, electrical safety, and battery retention before distribution.
Functional Role in Stress-Relief Therapy
TouchPoints serve as portable bilateral stimulation tools used in high-stress, classroom, or clinical settings. They are designed to reduce autonomic arousal and support more stable sleep, attention, and emotional control. The devices help mitigate anxiety and fatigue without diagnosing or treating medical conditions.
What are TouchPoints Essentials and how do they work?
TouchPoints Essentials are wearable devices that use gentle alternating vibrations (BLAST® technology) on each side of the body to calm the nervous system. These vibrations help reduce stress, improve focus, promote better sleep, and enhance emotional regulation by interrupting the body’s fight-or-flight response.
