The Embr does not actually change your body temperature. They released their original commercial device in 2017 and last spring released the Embr Wave 2, a personal cooling and warming wearable they promise can help you perceive your body temperature as up to 5 to 9 degrees higher or lower. They also included a feature to work the other way and help the user feel cooler when it was hot. The device was originally founded by three men working in a lab at MIT, who were constantly freezing because the lab was so cold.īeing engineers, they did the engineer thing and created a wrist-wearable device to help them feel warmer with the push of a button.

I first heard about Embr through my friend Dr. The tech company Embr would like to change that by putting a personal thermostat on your wrist. It can be maddening during the workday and can wreck your sleep at night as you try to find a comfort zone. That’s because as your hormones enter a state of erratic fluctuation during perimenopause, your hypothalamus (the thermostat in the brain) gets mixed signals between the environment and your core temperature based on what your hormones are telling it, which can trigger hot flashes, sweating, flushing, and chills. One minute you can be burning up and stripping down to your skivvies and the next you’re hunting for a fleece pullover. Going through the menopause transition is kind of like a living in the mountains (without the view): if you don’t like the “weather” wait 10 minutes. This high-end wearable helps you feel cooler or warmer, and lulls you to sleep.
