How Embr Wave Works

Problems with your comfort, hot flashes, sleep, and stress have a common source: your brain.

It turns out that when you apply temperature sensations to your skin, you send a thermal signal to the area of your brain that’s associated with thermoregulation, sensation, pleasure, stress & emotion. And so you can solve these problems. That’s what we call Thermal Wellness.

Clinically Validated Relief

Embr Labs was started by our co-founders when they were still students at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. We are a science-based, research-backed brand and are proud to continue our clinical studies as we grow our community.

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

From The Lab To Your Fingertips

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.
