The Wave is an intelligent wristband that cools or warms on demand to provide relief as a new category of safe and natural solutions to manage hot flashes, sleep issues, stress, and thermal discomfort. The Wave’s mobile app gives the user more control over the Wave’s features, especially the means to personalize warming or cooling sensations. It acts as a companion app for the Wave wristband and can be used to control it through BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy) connection. Clinical studies in women with menopausal hot flashes showed that the Embr Wave relieved the thermal discomfort associated with hot flashes and helped women get better sleep.The project’s goal was a successful release of the mobile application in sync with Wave 2’s hardware development and retail release preparations. Key challenges of the project: Validating React Native as a hybrid technology for consistent user experience on both iOS and Android devices, especially in relation to Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity. Synchronizing mobile app design and development with the new wristband’s hardware development lifecycle in order to meet the market release target. Conducting extensive QA testing of the mobile application and stress testing with the wristband to ensure a highly stable user experience across both iOS & Android devices.
