Embr Labs has introduced a wearable device called the Embr Wave, which acts as a personal thermostat that can be worn on the wrist. The device aims to provide relief to hot sleepers, individuals experiencing hot flashes, and those bothered by sudden shifts in temperature. The Embr Wave uses a thermoelectric heat pump to generate cool sensations by moving heat away from the wrist, and it can also provide warmth by moving heat towards the wrist. Users can customize the intensity and duration of these sensations through an app. The company is also working on a predictive algorithm that may be included in a future model to anticipate and prevent hot flashes.
The Embr Wave is designed to be safe and non-invasive, with the company comparing the sensation to holding a warm mug of coffee or dipping your feet into cool water. It does not alter the body’s core temperature, making it a comfortable option for individuals who experience temperature fluctuations. However, it is important for individuals with chronic temperature sensitivity to consult a healthcare professional to address any underlying health conditions that may be contributing to their discomfort.
The Embr Wave is priced at $299, with a current sale price of $259. Customers have the option to return the device within 60 days for a full refund. Additionally, Embr Labs offers a monthly payment plan of $20, which includes the cost of the device. This pay-as-you-go option allows users to return the device at any time, but they will not receive refunds for months in which the device was used.
While the Embr Wave may offer relief for those experiencing temperature-related discomfort, it is important to note that individual health conditions can impact how hot or cold a person feels. The device provides a customizable solution for managing temperature sensations, but it should not replace medical advice or treatment for underlying health issues. Embr Labs continues to innovate and develop new features for future models, such as the predictive algorithm designed to anticipate and prevent hot flashes before they occur.
