Below: a selection of the findings you can cite with clients and referrers. Full dossier available on request.
Brainwave entrainment shown effective for cognition, stress, pain, headaches, and mood across 20 controlled studies.
Evening AVE was shown to shorten sleep onset and improve overall sleep efficiency in older adults.
Students with attention and learning difficulties showed measurable gains in attention-test scores after a structured AVE protocol.
Morning AVE produced clinically meaningful improvement in seasonal affective scores — comparable to bright-light therapy.
Common questions before you choose
Everything you need to know.
What if it doesn't work for me? +
You have 30 days to decide. Run as many sessions as you like; if it isn't the right fit, return it for a full refund. You cover return shipping; there is no restocking fee.
Is it safe? Any side effects? +
AVE is non-invasive and contraindicated only for people with photosensitive epilepsy. We include a screening checklist in the box. Most users feel pleasantly relaxed; some feel mildly drowsy after deeper programs.
Do I need an app or a phone? +
No. Every session runs on the DAVID device itself — choose a program, press start, and close your eyes. No phone or app required.
Will it replace my therapist or my medication? +
No, and we'd never claim that. AVE is a complement, not a replacement. Many of our customers use DAVID alongside ongoing care, and a thousand-plus practitioners worldwide prescribe it directly. Talk to your provider.
How quickly will I notice a difference? +
Most users report a change after 5–10 sessions for sleep, and somewhat sooner for focus and calm. We suggest three to five sessions per week for the first month, then settling into your own rhythm.
Do I need to register before I can buy? +
Yes — practitioners register a free account first to access B2B pricing, demos, the Companion app, certification modules and your affiliate dashboard. The form takes 2 minutes.
What is the DAVID Companion app? +
A free desktop / tablet app for practitioners. Keep client records, log sessions per client, track outcomes over time and export reports. Included with any DAVID device purchase or rental.
How do free demos work? +
Request a demo via our form. We ship a demo unit (with the Companion app pre-installed) to your practice for two weeks at no cost. Try it with your clients before you commit.
How does the practitioner certification work? +
Complete the online DAVID Practitioner modules at your own pace — protocol selection, contraindications, integrating AVE into your sessions. Pass the assessment to earn your official certificate and listing in our practitioner directory.
Can I resell or rent DAVID equipment to my clients? +
Yes — registered practitioners get reseller margins on every device sold or rented through their practice, plus a personal affiliate link that tracks online purchases by your clients. Earnings paid out monthly.
