The Wave 2 the same way as putting an ice cube or a heat pack on your wrist-cooling or warming one sensitive area has ripple effects though the body.Įmbr Wave 2 claims it senses your skin temperature and uses precisely-engineered algorithms to maximize the effectiveness of its “thermal sensations”. Why the wrist? There is a higher density of temperature-sensitive nerve endings on the inside of your wrist than on your fingertips. You wear the Wave 2 on your wrist, and press a button to deliver on demand warmth or cool as you need it, or you can choose from preset programs that will run for a set period of time.Įmbr says Wave 2 works “with your body and mind to naturally change your perceived temperature in a matter of minutes.” It precisely cools or warms the temperature-sensitive skin on your wrist, triggering a response by your body and mind to help you feel about 5☏ cooler or warmer overall.

The wrist controls serve to control the perceived temperature, in 3-minute cycles for cooling down and in 5-minute cycles for heating up. This small smart device is very easy to use: an LED strip lets users select a mode: the light turns blue for cold and red for hot. For instance, when an ice cube or a cup of hot coffee is applied to areas of the body containing a large concentration of nerve endings (in this case the inner wrist) will rapidly and significantly change the person’s body heat.ĭepending on the selected setting, the bracelet generates a small amount of hot or cold waves which can lead to a change of up to 5 degrees Fahrenheit after just three minutes.Ī small, smart, simple and wearable device The bracelet gives off scientifically-developed waves that precisely stimulate the body’s thermo-receptors by exploiting the body’s natural systems in order to heat up or cool down the user upon demand. In this specific case, it acts on our perception of the ambient temperature. Some other are always running hot, in summer and winter alike.īy heating or cooling the wrist, the Embr Wave bracelet is designed to temporarily trick the brain into reacting based on the signals received from the body. We all have a colleague who shivers behind their desk while others are in their shirts and asking to open up the windows. At the CES 2019 (Consumer Electronic Show) in Las Vegas, Embr Labs unveiled a new, wearable, smart and innovative device, namely a personal thermostat with the ability to cool down or heat up the body upon demand.
