About this app

Unlock the full power of your Embr Wave thermal wristband with the Embr Wave 2 app.


Embr Wave is the first clinically validated thermal wearable + app that helps your body tap into its natural response to temperature to feel better. Clinical research has shown that using Embr Wave gives you immediate relief from temperature discomfort, eases stressful moments and improves sleep. The Embr Wave 2 app is the "Mission Control” for your Wave device.


A full menu of sessions are designed and available from the app to help to crush that hot flash, sleep better, and focus on the task at hand. The app gives you access to ways to relax and unwind when you need it most or keep your cool no matter the situation. From the office, to the plane, to your own bed—and even when walking into that next meeting or social event—your Wave has you covered.


Use the Embr Wave 2 app to:
- Explore thermal sessions designed for Sleep, Relaxation, Destressing, Hot Flashes, Focus, Personal Comfort, and more.
- Personalize your sessions by setting the temperature level and select session durations that range from 1 minute to 9 hours
- Save, edit, and rename your favorite sessions to your preferences.
- Personalize your Wave by programming the buttons for quick access to your favorite sessions. You can even dim the lights.
- Optimize your relief by tracking how you use the Wave to learn about your body over time.
- Keep your Wave up to date with the latest features and improvements with app and firmware updates.


The Embr Wave has received numerous consumer and design awards, including Time Best Inventions honorable mention (2018); the AARP Innovator in Aging prize (2019); the Men’s Health Sleep Award (2020); the IF World Design Guide Award (2021), and the National Sleep Foundation Sleep Tech Award (2023).

Typically love using this app to control how my Wave works at night to sleep, but just today, the app refuses to connect to the internet and now will not allow my Wave to function properly. My presets are set for shorter modes for use at work, so I can't even use the sleep functions at all now. I've uninstalled the app three times, turned internet on and off, tried data... nothing works. Extremely disappointing, as this was helping me sleep

I just started using the Ember Wave 2. It works, but I have issues with it disconnecting during every treatment. The app is up to date. Restarted both devices. Last night I started an 8 hr cooling sleep mode. I woke up with every hot flash to find out that it was disconnected and the program was paused. The app is left open on my phone which is right next to me, so distance isn't the issue either. I'll change my rating if things change. If they don't, I'll be returning and canceling subscription

Hey Jenna, no need to have the app open when using your Wave! All Night modes have long rest periods between pulses of cool/warm, so if that’s not cutting it for your hot flashes, be sure to try other Sleep modes to see what works best for you. Get in touch at embrlabs.com/contact if we can help!

Just got it two days ago. I'm still getting adjusted. It has been such a difference using it when I begin to have a hot flash. Once you find out what settings you need and for how long you are set. Remember yo pick a time to charge it fully if you are going to use it through the entire night to help you sleep.
