About The Company
Embr Labs was founded by three MIT scientists and is set to carve out a piece of the $10B Digital Therapeutics market through technology that delivers thermal stimulation for therapeutic applications. It all started during a summer day in 2013 when founders Matt, David and Sam were putting on sweatshirts in their MIT lab despite the hot temperatures outdoors. They began to question if the HVAC technology used to combat thermal discomfort was really the best that modern technology had to offer, and they ended up developing a wearable technology that would unlock the therapeutic power of temperature.
Today, Embr Labs is the leader in thermal wellness technology. Their first product, Embr Wave, is a sleek wearable that “hacks” the way you feel temperature by stimulating the thermoreceptors in your skin. The technology has been shown to make people feel 5°F more comfortable and is being used today by tens of thousands of customers for thermal discomfort, sleep, anxiety and menopausal hot flashes. The company has conducted studies with Johnson & Johnson, been featured on Good Morning America, Fast Company and TIME’s “Best Inventions 2018,” and received Phase I and Phase II STTR awards from the National Science Foundation.
Wolf Greenfield & Embr Labs
Wolf Greenfield has worked with Embr to develop their patent portfolio from the very beginning. The broad technical depth of Wolf Greenfield attorneys in the overlapping fields of materials, consumer products, internet of things and controls systems has enabled Wolf Greenfield to understand the key distinctions of the technology developed by Embr Labs in the landscape of mature heating and cooling technologies. As such, our team provides a tailored approach in the services we provide to Embr that continues to evolve with their company.
