Take Care For Every Mind
Our Story
DreamPhones was founded on a simple idea: How can everyday people easily access gentle, science-informed tools to manage stress, soothe their emotions, and experience deeper relaxation?
Our co-founders — MIT neuroscientist Professor Robert Desimone and an AI entrepreneur with a dual background in medicine and technology — share a common vision: to create a non-invasive, intuitive product that seamlessly brings vagus-related neuromodulation into everyday life.
