Company Overview

Shiftwave is a wellness technology company that creates structured, sensory-based experiences designed to support moments of calm, clarity, and reset. Built at the intersection of psychophysiology, vibrotactile research, and guided breathwork, the Shiftwave system uses pulsed pressure waves, curated audio, and adaptive feedback to deliver an accessible, repeatable wellness ritual.

Developed by researchers, inventors, and human-performance experts, Shiftwave was evaluated in high-demand environments ranging from athletics to frontline professions to wellness spaces. Across years of research and thousands of prototypes, one insight stood out: when wellness practices are structured, immersive, and low-friction, people reliably engage with them.

Shiftwave is positioned as a general wellness device, intended to support relaxation routines, focus sessions, and decompression moments. It is not designed to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or medical condition.

Our Journey

2018

The beginning

Shiftwave originated at the Santa Barbara Center for Art, Science, and Technology, where our team conducted thousands of experiments and collected extensive sensory and behavioral data to better understand how structured, multisensory input influences human experience. This research informed the development of our core technology, which blends pulsed pressure waves with real-time biofeedback to create consistent, immersive wellness experiences designed to support relaxation, focus, and personal reset.

2022

Real-world impact

After extensive testing and refinement, we saw that Shiftwave could offer a structured, calming experience even in high-stress environments. Following the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, our team deployed Shiftwave as part of broader humanitarian support efforts, providing moments of comfort, grounding, and emotional respite for wounded soldiers and displaced children. These initiatives highlighted how accessible, low-friction wellness tools can help people find brief periods of relief amid extremely challenging circumstances.

Today

From vision to global reach

We’ve built collaborations across the military, professional sports, global wellness brands, and frontline NGOs—each aligned with our mission to make structured, science-informed wellness practices more accessible. These partnerships have enabled us to support a wide range of environments, from high-performance settings to community-focused initiatives. Today, we continue to scale thoughtfully, expanding access, broadening our impact, and evolving Shiftwave into a global platform for immersive, experience-driven well-being.
