![]() ![]() The Embr Labs name, which stands for Environment-Mind-Body-Resonance, remains unchanged. Built upon two foundational pillars: Care for People and Scientific Rigor - the new design highlights the company's focus on using thermal science to improve self-care. The Series B funding will accelerate the development of our core technology platform and help us realize our thermal wellness vision." Along with the funding, Embr Labs is rebranding to align the company's design and tone with its new thermal wellness ethos. "With the backing and expertise of the new and existing investors, we have the potential to improve our technology to substantially impact lives. "Moreover, significant real-world evidence can be captured through the Wave devices, which would lead to more personalized and optimal therapy for the users." "There are over 330 million women affected by hot flashes, 2.5 billion people dealing with stress-related issues and 1.5 billion people experience sleep discomfort," said Elizabeth Gazda, Embr Labs CEO. "Embr Labs is not only a commercial company defining Thermal Wellness, but also a digital health company with great potential to substantially impact several therapeutic areas,'' said David Kim, M.D., Managing Director of DigiTx Partners. This technological breakthrough is what makes cooling in a small wearable device possible while reducing power consumption and system size. Embr Labs' flagship product, the Wave bracelet, features Embr Labs' core innovation, its patented thermal waveforms - dynamic temperature sensations that cool or warm temperature-sensitive nerves with algorithmically-designed waves. Embr Labs' patented technology harnesses the power of thermal sensations to deliver safe, non-invasive, and natural therapies that leverage the body and mind's natural response to temperature to promote relief from hot flashes, manage stress, and enhance sleep. Founded by three engineers in a cold lab at MIT, Embr Labs started with a basic insight: temperature impacts the way we feel and if temperature can be personalized and delivered in new formats, then it unlocks the therapeutic power. Since the launch of the Wave bracelet in September 2017, Embr has sold tens of thousands of devices to those who desired to harness the restorative power of temperature. Embr Labs will use the investment to grow the company's footprint in wellness and digital therapeutics, accelerate development for the next generation of its core technology platform, and validate new use cases in thermal wellness. I decided it's well worth the cost because I didn't like the alternative.The round was led by DigiTx Partners, with participation from Safar Partners, Joyance Partners, Bose Ventures, and PBJ Capital. When I start sweating if I go into a-fib, it even helps that! Not the heart, but the sweating which helps me focus on bringing the heart rate down not having to deal with the uncomfort of sweating at the same time. But I'm also very aware of changes happening within my body. It's a little pricey, but I find it really works. I constantly change mine based on what I'm doing and how soon I might catch the need to use it (the sooner the better!) Its real. I love the different heading/cooling modes. ![]() Will it cool down your body from excessive heat? Not sure but it will bring it within tolerance. I could put it on and not notice any change, but then when I think about it, I haven't been hot when used. I think you need to be aware of your body's symptoms. I especially like it at night during my hot flashes and using the night mode. It's not obtrusive, but it is large, and I wear it all the time. I've had it for a couple of weeks now and my only wish is it had more battery and was a little less obtrusive. But was going to give it a full 30 day review. I used it once and was sure I was going to return it. ![]()
