Why does Embr Wave 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.

From Our Lab To Your Wrists

From Our Lab To Your Wrists

At Embr Labs, we're on a mission to improve people's lives through the power of temperature.

From a 2013 MIT student project that turned into a successful crowdfund in 2017, to our latest generation of award-winning products today, we've been dedicated to listening closely to the people using Embr Wave for over a decade.

Real-world experiences and insights have been the driver behind building a strong, science-backed body of evidence that proves exactly how impactful temperature can be. Through extensive clinical validation, we've confirmed what our community already knows—that temperature is a natural solution that can be truly life-changing.
