Feel better, live more.
Because healing begins within
Dipl.-Ing. Jo Xue — Cofounder & CEO
Biohacker and PhD Cand. at Heidelberg University, combining biomedical engineering with human-centered design. He leads ZenoWell’s vision to turn complex neuroscience into gentle, wearable technologies that help people restore balance from stress, pain, and fatigue.
Prof. Dr. med. Berthold Hocher — Initiator of ZenoWell
Professor at Heidelberg University Medical School and a leading expert in translational medicine and hypertension. His deep insight into human physiology laid the scientific foundation of ZenoWell, inspiring a new way to bridge medicine, neuroscience, and daily wellbeing.
Dr. Jane Xiao — Cofounder & Chief Scientist
Neuroscientist with over a decade of research in neuromodulation, sleep, and emotional regulation. She brings academic rigor and data-driven insight to ZenoWell, ensuring every protocol is grounded in science and optimized for real-world impact.
The spark of an idea
Our story began one sunny afternoon in a Heidelberg beer garden.
where members of Prof. Hocher’s lab discussed new, non-pharmaceutical ways to lower blood pressure.
One idea kept returning — the vagus nerve.
From calming the heart to improving sleep and emotional balance,a vision emerged: to gently awaken the body’s own power to heal.
Inspired by Zeno, the ancient Greek philosopher who sought harmony between body and mind, we imagined a future where science helps people restore balance from within.
That moment became the beginning of ZenoWell.
From vision to reality
Turning a scientific idea into something people could truly use took more than imagination — it required persistence, trust, and collaboration.
Together with BEE Medic in Switzerland, we brought our vision to life.
After countless prototypes and years of testing, we launched our first research-grade system: BrainCLOS.
It soon became part of studies at Cambridge University, Heidelberg University, and Charité Berlin — the moment our idea met the real world.
From then on, neuroscience could be worn.
Bringing science to everyday life
With ZenoWell, we wanted to make neuroscience truly wearable — something that fits naturally into everyday life.
Our patented auricular electrode covers the most branches of the vagus nerve, while our data-driven stimulation protocols are shaped by years of neuroscience research.
Ergonomic, subtle, and effortless, ZenoWell adapts to every rhythm — sleep, travel, or work.
We don’t build devices to fix people.
We build gentle tools to help them reconnect
with what’s already working within.
The philosophy of Zeno
The name Zeno comes from Zeno of Citium, the Greek philosopher who founded Stoicism — a philosophy of harmony, clarity, and self-mastery.
He believed peace comes when we live in tune with nature; that wellbeing is not control, but balance — between body and mind, science and spirit.
At ZenoWell, we see health as the art of balance — living with awareness and harmony, and reconnecting with the wisdom already within.
Mission & vision
Mission
To help people feel better — restoring calm, balance, and vitality through gentle, human-centered neurotechnology.
Vision
To empower everyone to live more — turning science into a natural part of everyday life, where technology supports wellbeing, not replaces it.
Slogan
Feel better, live more.
At ZenoWell, wellbeing begins within — not only for those who use our products, but also for those who create them.
We’re building an open, employee- and pet-friendly workplace rooted in curiosity, kindness, and balance.
Our two office dogs bring laughter and lightness to each day, reminding us that joy is part of wellbeing too.
“Every year, we dedicate 1% of our profits to nonprofit organizations supporting mental wellness — because healing is meant to be shared.”
We believe the future of wellbeing lies in the connection between data, emotion, and self-awareness.
Through AI-driven, closed-loop neurotechnology, we aim to help people understand themselves — not just treat symptoms.
ZenoWell is only the beginning.
Our mission continues: to make science feel natural, and to help everyone feel better and live more.
