FAQ

When you're stressed, the 'fight or flight' part of your brain engages. TouchPoints shift you into the logical, rational part of your brain and allow you to think clearly and experience calm all within seconds. Having the ability to think rationally without an associated body sensation helps the brain create new neural pathways that are net positive, and this has a lasting effect on your brain.  See How TouchPoints Work for more information.

TouchPoints do not treat or cure any medical conditions but can help manage the underlying stress that accompanies many conditions in conjunction with a healthy lifestyle.

All three options—TouchPoint Essentials, TouchPoints with Wristbands, and TouchPoints for Sleep—utilize the same innovative BLAST® technology to alter the body's stress response. Each kit is designed to provide a calming experience, enhance focus, improve performance, support better sleep, minimize anger, and reduce cravings. They all feature the same three modes: blue for sleep/meditation, yellow for calm/focus, and purple for anger/agitation. Additionally, each kit comes with rechargeable batteries that offer a 3-4 hour battery life and are splash resistant.

The main difference lies in the included accessory, the devices' shutoff method, and FSA/HSA eligibility. 

Manual shutoff:

Included with:TouchPoint Essentials and TouchPoints with Wristbands

TouchPoint Essentials and TouchPoints with Wristbands will run until manually powered off using the button on top of the devices, or until they run out of battery. TouchPoints are intended to be used as needed throughout the day typically, in 5-30 minute periods. These models are recommended for those who prefer more control over their usage or those who need the device for longer periods due to specific circumstances. For therapists, consider the need for uninterrupted use, which may be necessary for certain therapeutic techniques.

Models with manual shutoff can still be used for help falling asleep and staying asleep. Simply use the sleep setting while you're getting ready for bedtime and turn them off right before you go to sleep. If you fall asleep with them on, that's okay! There's no harm in using TouchPoints all night however you will need to recharge your TouchPoints in the morning.

Automatic shutoff:

Included with:TouchPoints for Sleep

TouchPoints for Sleep will automatically shut off after 30 minutes, or sooner if manually powered down using the buttons on top or if battery is low. TouchPoints are intended to be used as needed throughout the day typically, in 5-30 minute periods. This model is recommended for those who prefer to fall asleep with TouchPoints on, as the automatic shutoff feature will help preserve the battery. The automatic shutoff may also be beneficial for individuals and businesses who use TouchPoints several times per day for prolonged battery to help ensure that the TouchPoints are available when needed throughout the day.

Every TouchPoint kit includes one set of accessories. Please note that all accessories are compatible with every TouchPoint kit and can be purchased separately if desired.

Place one TouchPoint on each side of your body and secure them with wristbands, sweatbands, clothing clips, hold in hands, or keep in pockets or socks.  For TouchPoints to work, one must be on the right side of the body and one must be on the left. TouchPoints do not need to be touching the skin as long as you can feel the vibrations.

TouchPoints can be used for a short duration to spot treat stress, or they may be left on for longer periods of time to prevent it.

 TouchPoints are intended to be used as needed throughout the day typically in 5-30 minute periods. 

Using TouchPoints for 15-30 minutes can leave a lasting effect in helping you stay calm throughout the day, even when TouchPoints are off! One of the ways TouchPoints' BLAST technology works is by creating new neural pathways that help modify the memories that trigger our stress response. These new neural pathways can build overtime, progressively reducing the release of stress related hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol levels. Overtime, using TouchPoints in these shorter periods as needed throughout the day should help you feel less stressed, more calm and logical, even when they're off. Using TouchPoints as such will not only be helpful to their effectiveness, but will also prolong their lifetime and help you better understand and manage your stress.

Some users with Parkinson's Disease who use TouchPoints to reduce tremor activity have reported using TouchPoints for longer periods of time (up to 4 hours). Using TouchPoints as such for the purpose of reducing tremor activity may require the purchase of multiple pairs of TouchPoints. 

TouchPoints have a guaranteed life of 1-year with proper use and care (read about safety & care).

TouchPoints take 2-3 hours to charge fully. The battery life for TouchPoints is 3-4 hours depending on the settings used. 

We do have many customers reporting that using TouchPoints on the calm, anger, or performance settings may reduce the incidence of tremors associated with Parkinson's. Also, many customers report that using TouchPoints helps reduce the anger/agitation, and anxiety associated with these conditions and the "rebound" effect of medication.

There are two types of tremors, resting tremors and action tremors. TouchPoints seems to make action tremors better. Since Essential tremors and cerebellar tremors and action type tremors, we believe that Touchpoints technology works on the same brain circuity which is why they would likely result in improved control and tremor severity.

Currently, there are universities interested in pursuing research given these findings, but we as a company have not yet researched this. TouchPoints are shown to reduce the overall stress response and since TouchPoints are a general wellness device, we are still learning of so many potential applications to improve people's lives!

TouchPoints are designed to be used for 5-30 minute intervals. However, some customers choose to wear TouchPoints in a continuous manner. Some users with Parkinson's Disease who use TouchPoints to reduce tremor activity have reported using TouchPoints for longer periods of time (up to 4 hours). Please note that this action wears the motor and reduces the life of the devices. Many customers will purchase multiple sets to rotate their devices in accordance with proper care and handling. 

There are no known conditions that would render TouchPoints ineffective. TouchPoints should work on everyone because of how the brain integrates sensory input.

If it feels like your TouchPoints aren’t producing calm it could be because they are not on the right setting for you. Cycle through a couple different settings to find the one that works best for you.

If you are panicking or thinking about an extremely stressful event, it may take longer than 30 seconds to feel the difference. In this case, leave your TouchPoints on and then reassess every minute. In a few minutes, there should be a noticeable difference.

If you have a severe medical or mental health condition or are under the influence of drugs or alcohol, this may interfere with the results. If you have a dissociative disorder, autism, or agenesis of the corpus callosum, you may not be able to notice the positive changes even if they are occurring.
