When people hear “electrical pulse” they often picture something sharp. Stilla is the opposite. It uses a very low-level pulse, the same gentle kind used in everyday muscle-stimulation devices, tuned to be felt as a soft nudge rather than a jolt.
Here is the sequence. A small sensor at the base of the throat picks up the vibration of a snore as it begins. The device answers with a soft double pulse that prompts the throat muscles to firm up slightly, so the airway stays open and the breath settles. There is no pump and no noise, so your partner hears nothing at all.
You can choose from three intensities, from mild to strong, and most people settle on the lowest setting that works for them. It runs all night on a charge and tops up on its case by morning. The gel pad it rests on is a consumable, so you swap in a fresh one when the grip starts to fade.
It is not for everyone. It is not suitable if you have a pacemaker or other implanted electronic device, a heart condition, are pregnant, or are under 16. And it is a lifestyle aid, not a medical device. But for the common, throat-based snore, it is about as low-effort as a fix gets.
