You can visit the physical store at Plaza Singapore #03-65 (NomadX) to experience it. The Embr Wave retails in Singapore at S$449. I don’t think it’s a dud, and I think it should work for people who has a condition related to how their body feels about the temperature. While Embr Wave doesn’t work for me, I was rather fascinated with the gadget. Secondary audiences are people who suffer from: Embr Wave helps them manage hot flashes, sleep problems, thermal discomfort, and anxiety. I shared my feedback to the folks at Synced and they told me who the product’s target audience is: primary customer group is women 45-65 years old going through menopause – aka prime-time women. And because the best outcome requires the bracelet to be touching the inner wrist instead of outer, it tends to get in the way when using the computer or resting the arms on the table. My ExperienceĪfter wearing it for 3 days, I don’t really feel I get the benefit of the Embr Wave. There is no remaining battery time, and it depends on how frequent you use the Embr Wave. I find that I am more sensitive to the “cold”: at -1 degree, I can already feel the bite on my skin, whereas for the “heat” mode, I need to turn up several degrees before I feel the heat.ĭuring the 3-day review period, I only need to charge the Embr Wave once. You can also change the temperature directly from the bracelet. The app lets you update firmware, set programs and timer on the usage cycles, indicates the battery life, as well as your usage summary in days, weeks and months, much like a fitness tracker. The UI design looks good and achieves a rather calming view. Control over Smartphoneĭuring the setup process on the smartphone app, it will capture your profile so that it can monitor your usage over time, learn from your usage, and improve the experience. It changes your perception of temperature so that in cold places like office, you do not feel as chilly, or during stressed up situations when one tends to feel hot, it might cool you down. Science shows that cooling or warming one spot on your body can improve your overall comfort without changing your core temperature. Through our partnership with Ghost Tree, Embr Labs is able to accelerate the fulfillment of our mission to provide this ground-breaking technology to women everywhere.What this nifty wearable does is to change the way you perceive temperature, by applying heat or cold on the device which you wear on your wrist. Back in January the company announced partnerships with leading online retailers such as Amazon, Costco, Target, Walmart, or CVS.Įmbr Labs CEO Liz Gazda shares: “Women today are seeking natural, non-hormonal alternatives to control their symptoms of menopause, and the Embr Wave is the solution they’ve been looking for. The new funds will support Embr Lab’s consumer growth strategy via retail and geographic expansion. Led by Ghost Tree Partners in collacoration with Aon plx, the company has raised $35M via IP-based dept financing. Now Embr Labs, who previously raised $7.6M from investors including Bose Ventures, DigiTx Partners, Safar Partners, Joy Ventures and Intel Capital, is announcing a new capital injection. It's specifically designed for people suffering from hot flashes but can also benefit those that want to add a little coolness or heat when the situation calls for it. It's designed to deliver cozy, warm, or refreshing, cool, thermal waves directly to your wrist to regulate body temperature. With these signals the brain naturally processes the thermal sensation to restore balance and bring hot flash relief, stress management and improve sleep by tapping into the autonomic nervous system. Wave 2 is a wearable thermoregulating wristband. The bracelet, designed to help women going through menopause with hot flashes, deploys cooling or warming sensations or “waveforms” to the temperature-sensitive skin on the inside of the wrist, detected by nerve endings known as thermoreceptors. Back then the company had just released Wave 2, the second iteration of its wearable and app. It’s been two years since we last spoke to Liz Gazda, CEO of Embr Labs.
