Grace
the first automated tracking and cooling device for women experiencing menopausal hot flushes
Hot flushes affect around 1.5 million women in the UK alone. They are uncomfortable, embarrassing and above all inconvenient, striking day and night. Choosing a solution can be confusing and difficult. Enter Grace, the world's first automated tracking and cooling bracelet, ready to detect and fend off your flushes 24 hours a day. Using an array of sensors, Grace aims to detect a hot flush before you know you're going to have one. At that point, a cooling tile is activated, aiming to reverse the effects of a flush using localised cooling on your wrist.? With full automation, Grace can also be worn while you're asleep to combat your night sweats.
