PRODUCT & TOOLS BITS &PIECES Senior Publications CoordinatorSARAH O’DONOVAN BEAT THE HEAT Embr Wave is an exciting new piece of technology designed to cool you down inside, when it’s an absolute scorcher outside. The thermal comfort on demand device was developed by MIT scientists, letting users cool down when they’re too hot or warm up when they’re too cold. Embr Wave is powered by patent-pending technology that uses cutting-edge thermoelectrics and precisely engineered algorithms to produce maximally effective temperature waves. It fits comfortably around any wrist size, lasts 2-3 days per charge, and pairs with the Embr Wave mobile app for enhanced thermal visualization and control. Only currently available in the US and Canada, we’ll be keeping our eye online for expansion.
