Frequently asked questions
More questions are available on the full FAQ page.
Can SmartDream cure yips?+
No. SmartDream is a wellness device, not a medical device — it does not guarantee diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of yips. Reports from Song Kyung-seo Golf Academy and others are outcomes of an integrated mental-care system that includes SmartDream, and the same results are not guaranteed for every athlete.
Can it be used on competition day?+
We recommend adapting use timing and intensity during training first. Long-term routines designed with coaches and trainers are most effective. For first-time use, adapt on a training day — not on competition day.
Can junior athletes use it?+
The primary audience is elementary through high school students. Junior elite athletes should use it under guardian and coach supervision. We recommend a physician consultation before use.
Are there any doping concerns?+
SmartDream is not a drug or implanted substance — it delivers external microcurrent stimulation through a forehead patch. That said, sport-specific rules and doping policies differ; always check your federation's or association's official guidance.
