A familiar feeling

If you’ve ever felt comforted by cupping your hands around a warm mug or refreshed by the touch of an icy cold glass, you already know how great a little bit of temperature can make you feel.

Embr Wave makes it simple to feel cooler or warmer

Press to cool or press to warm. Use the buttons on the Wave or the controls in the app to instantly activate cool or warm sensations.

The body and brain science of temperature makes it possible

When you feel something warm or cold, a lot more is happening than you might think. The temperature changes are detected by nerve endings in your skin, called thermoreceptors, which send signals to your brain that affect everything from your physical comfort to your emotional state.

Small Changes, Huge Impact

1

Thermal Waves

At the touch of a button, Embr Wave generates cool or warm sensations by moving heat away from or toward your skin in waves.

2

Natural Response

The precisely calibrated cooling or warming waves stimulate the temperature-sensitive nerves on the inside of your wrist.

3

Feel Better Overall

The thermal stimulus triggers a natural mind-body comfort response that helps bring relief for sleep, hot flashes, stress, & more.

Embr Wave works with your body and your brain

Temperature & Your Brain

Problems with your comfort, hot flashes, sleep, and stress have a common source: your brain. Temperature has a unique pathway to the part of your brain that’s associated not only with thermoregulation (how hot or cold you feel), but also sensation, pleasure, stress, and emotion.

A Feeling Your Body Knows

Maybe you’ve noticed that you feel a rush of heat when you get frustrated, or that your hands go cold when you’re anxious. Or maybe you feel relaxed when the sun hits your face, or you instantly start to calm down when you breathe in cool air. Temperature has the power to help you feel better naturally.

The Power of Embr Wave

Embr Wave gives you the power to use temperature to feel better anytime or anywhere you need to. The Wave delivers thermal sensations in wave patterns designed for different needs, from intense bursts of cooling to calm a hot flash quickly, to soft waves of soothing warming to relax your body into sleep. You can choose from over 30 customizable modes to find relief that’s just right for you.

Why does temperature work?

Interoception

By delivering temperature changes to your wrist over time, the Wave harnesses your innate human response to temperature, sending a comfort signal through the interoceptive pathway to your brain.

Why The Wrist

The inside of your wrist contains a high density of temperature-sensitive nerves, which we call thermoreceptors. That’s why it’s good place for the Wave to cool or warm, affecting your whole body sensation.

Whole Body Effect

Because the comfort signal travels to the area of your brain associated with sensation, pleasure, thermoregulation, stress, and emotion, you experience a whole-body emotional and physical response instantly and over time.

Patented Sensations

We’ve developed our patented thermal sensations, which we call Waveforms, that enable the Wave to deliver that most powerful moment of temperature over and over again, for up to 9 hours at a time.

Smart Temperature

Have you ever noticed how quickly you adapt to a steaming hot bath or a cold swimming pool?

Our thermoreceptors get used to constant temperature and start to zone it out, but they stay very sensitive to temperature changes.

Embr Wave delivers cooling or warming in intermittent waves to keep your mind attentive to these thermal sensations, so you can feel relief as long as you need it.

The Technology

Embr Wave uses a thermoelectric heat pump that generates cool or warm sensations by moving heat away from or towards your skin.

These sensations stimulate the temperature-sensitive nerves on the inside of your wrist, triggering a natural mind-body connection that helps you rebalance your perception of temperature so you can feel better fast.
