How Embr Wave Works
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.
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 on the flip side, maybe you feel relaxed when the sun hits your face, or you instantly start to calm down when you breathe in cool air.
The Power of Embr Wave
Temperature has the power to help you feel better naturally. Embr Wave gives you the power to use temperature to feel better right when 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.

From Our Labs 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.
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.
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.
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.
Our 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.
Technology-Driven Thermal Relief
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 battery-powered 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.
