About SoulHeal Technology
SoulHeal Technology is a neuroscience-driven wellness technology company dedicated to developing non-drug tools for relaxation, stress regulation, and nervous system balance.
The company’s flagship product, DreamPhones, was created based on research into the vagus nerve and autonomic nervous system, aiming to bring gentle neuromodulation and science-informed relaxation into everyday life.
SoulHeal Technology was co-founded by MIT neuroscientist Robert Desimone, Director of the McGovern Institute for Brain Research, together with engineers and AI researchers working at the intersection of neuroscience and consumer technology.
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.
Our Journey
Under Professor Robert Desimone’s scientific guidance, we brought together an engineering team across AI, psychology, biomedical engineering, and human–computer interaction to turn a simple idea into a real, neuroscience-inspired product.
