A patch. An app. A protocol for every part of your day.

Tune your body, one tap at a time.

Wear the patch. Open the app. Pick a mode — Performance, Recovery, Focus, Balance, Clarity — set a timer, and watch the dose move across your skin in real time. Five protocols, smart insights, an AI assistant that learns your rhythm. Personalized delivery, no pills, no needles.

Inside the patch

Two parts. One quiet system.

A reusable engine carries the electronics. It snaps onto a single-use skin patch that holds the active compound. Replace the patch. Keep the engine. Repeat.

The disposable layer

A fresh transdermal layer carrying the full active blend — Performance, Recovery, Daytime Balance, and Cognitive Clarity. Snap onto your engine, choose a mode in the app, and go.

How it works

Three steps. Zero needles. No first pass.

01
Load & apply

Click a fresh hydrogel reservoir into the engine. Place on the upper arm.

02
Choose your protocol

Open the app. Ramped, pulsed, or continuous — pick the curve that fits the moment.

03
Active delivery

The engine drives the molecule across the skin at skin-safe current. You go about your day. The patch handles the rest.

Four modes. One patch.

Pick a protocol. Set a timer. Go.

Each reservoir is engineered for a different outcome. Open the app, press Infuse, and a live progress bar tracks every dose toward your daily target — calibrated to your profile from the moment you onboard.

01
Performance Boost

Clean energy, sharper drive, elevated output. B12, D3 and Selenium for the days you're not here to coast.

02
Daytime Balance

A steady, low-amplitude release of B-complex and electrolytes. Hold the line through long days, hard meetings, longer flights.

03
Deep Recovery

Magnesium, Zinc and adaptogens, delivered overnight to repair what training broke and lock in the gains.

04
Cognitive Clarity

L-Theanine, Lion's Mane and methylated B vitamins, pulsed to your focus blocks. Think faster without thinking about it.

The companion app

Your best level, one tap away.

A weekly rhythm view, a live progress ring for every mode, and an AI assistant that nudges what to adjust next. Onboarding tunes each protocol to your body — age, sex, units, baselines — so every dose is yours, not a generic recommendation.

  • Insights — adherence, weekly µg, mode-by-mode progress.
  • Timers — schedule ramped, pulsed or continuous release.
  • Assistant — ask questions, get tailored mode adjustments.
  • Shop & gifts — refill reservoirs or share Melve with someone you care about.

Your stack already knows you. Now it can act.

WHOOP, Garmin, Apple Watch, Oura, Polar — connect what you already wear, and Melve uses your strain, sleep and recovery to suggest the right protocol for the next 12 hours. A small bonus on top of a system that already works on its own.

  • Low recovery → magnesium & adaptogens, pulsed overnight.
  • High strain incoming → B12 & electrolytes, ramped pre-session.
  • Cognitive load detected → L-Theanine, held at steady state.

Wear it. Tap it. Outperform.

  • 01
    Personalized to you

    Four modes of action — performance, recovery, focus, balance. Each one a different formulation, chosen by you, in the app, in seconds.

  • 02
    Active transdermal delivery

    A skin-safe iontophoretic driver pushes target molecules across the skin at controlled current densities. Onset in minutes. No gut. No liver. No loss.

  • 03
    Two-part by design

    A reusable electronic engine pairs with a sealed, single-use hydrogel reservoir. The brain stays. The molecule changes. The waste stream stays small.

The M.e.l.v.e. principle

Five letters. One standard. Zero compromise.

M
Medicine

Pharmaceutical-grade formulations. Pharma manufacturing. Pharma quality control.

e
Evidence

No 'wellness.' No vibes. Iontophoresis is a documented delivery route — we engineered it for daily life.

l
Longevity

The goal isn't to live longer. The goal is to add life to the years you have.

v
Vitality

Output is the metric. Energy, recovery, focus, drive — measurable, repeatable, yours.

e
Efficacy

Bypassing the gut means more of the molecule reaches the bloodstream. Less waste. More signal.

The research

We're rewriting how a molecule enters the body.

Pills travel through the gut and the liver before reaching circulation. The result is slower onset, lower availability, and dosing that drifts with meals, microbiome, and metabolism. Topicals sit on the skin and rarely cross it. Injections cross it well — but ask you to handle a needle.1

"We set out to investigate a wearable that delivers active compounds through the skin — controlled, on demand, without needles and without the first-pass loss."

Melve Smart Patch is a research device built on three principles: a two-part architecture that keeps electronics out of the waste stream; an active iontophoretic driver that moves target molecules across the skin at safe current densities; and a Bluetooth link to a phone app that lets you pick the curve — ramped, pulsed, or continuous.2

The outcome: faster onset, higher availability, more consistent dosing — in a format that is quiet, hygienic, and worn like nothing else you wear.

Field notes

What our research collaborators are saying.

A two-part architecture is the right call. Keeping the electronics out of the disposable stream changes the sustainability story entirely.

Iontophoretic delivery at this form factor is genuinely difficult. The protocol control over BLE is what makes it clinically interesting.

Avoiding the first pass for a class of compounds that simply do not survive the gut — that is a meaningful problem to solve.
