Wareable verdict: Embr Wave review Willow
EMBR BRACELET SKIN
The Embr Wave could be particularly empowering for those with chronic illness, skin conditions that flare up in the heat and anyone going through menopause. It’s not going to make you feel like you’re in a cold shower, or a warm sauna, but it does get to work within seconds and makes a real difference to comfort levels. Since it was first announced, we’ve had a chance to try the Embr Wave and found it delivered on its cooling promises.
EMBR BRACELET HOW TO
The heating and cooling bracelet is designed by an MIT spin-off startup that has figured out how to warm and cool one spot on your body – your wrist – via 16 temperature intensities in order to make you feel more comfortable whether that's in the office, on public transport or out and about on a hot day.
This is a unisex wearable but one we think could be particularly popular with women. It’s the five different types of data that makes Ava so effective in comparison to tracking only temperature, as some apps do. A peer-reviewed clinical study carried out in May 2019 at the University Hospital of Zurich found Ava can detect 5.3 fertile days in a woman's menstrual cycle with 89% accuracy while detecting the wearer's chances of conceiving each month, compared with no tracker at all and trying once a week. Refreshingly, there have been a number of studies proving some of Ava’s claims. It tracks five different physiological markers in order to accurately pinpoint when a woman is most likely to be fertile, including temperature, resting heart rate, heart rate variability, respiratory rate and perfusion.
EMBR BRACELET UPGRADE
Since then, it’s had an upgrade – the latest bracelet is more than the original and comes with a sleeker redesign and a vibrating alarm. The Ava bracelet was one of the first major fertility tech wearables to launch in 2016.

Many refer to the Ava bracelet as “the Fitbit for fertility” and it’s easy to see why.

The mood tracking was also a very handy tool to make connections between how mood swings could be linked to menstruation. We tested the women’s health tracking features and found them to be reliable and easy-to-use. The tracking itself mostly takes place within the Garmin Connect app, but you can make small updates and see whereabouts you are in your cycle on compatible Garmin devices, including the Forerunner 245 and Vivoactive 3. Garmin makes a range of wearable products that are unisex, but some of its newer smartwatches now come with a feature that allows you to track your menstrual cycle. We take a look at some of the most innovative trackers and gadgets both available now and coming soon, which are geared specifically for women's health and fitness needs. There are even devices that enable women to track parts of their life as thoroughly as any medical tech once did, ensuring they know exactly when something unusual is happening to their body.
EMBR BRACELET WINDOWS
Now you can find wearable breast pumps, tech to monitor fertility windows and menstrual cycle tracking added to the most popular wearables. Stats from earlier this year suggest that by 2025 the market could be worth $50 billion. The rise of ‘femtech’, a term coined by Ida Tin, founder of period tracking app Clue, is big business. Not only are these developments important because they address the needs of women, they make business sense.

We’ve come a long way in the development of wearable tech – especially when it comes to creating devices for women.
