The wearable might be a good solution for those who want to limit the intake of unhealthy fast food but have trouble doing so. Tied to a mobile application, the Pavlok 2 bracelet sends an [electric shock](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mave) with the power of 350 volts every time the user "exceeds the fast food consumption limit." In conjunction with the classic Pavlovian conditioning experiment, such a product might bear results as it prompts the user to associate bad habits with bad feelings like the unpleasant sensation of the shock. The habit conditioning device can be customized to help stop [compulsive behavior](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabboo) in other instances too. For example, one can tailor the bracelet to zap when too much video games are being played. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.4/10 - Popularity: 65% | Activity: 90% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Portable Habit Conditioning Devices:** The Pavlok 2 is an example of a portable habit conditioning device that can be used for various purposes. - **Pavlovian-style Conditioning Wearables:** The Pavlok 2 uses Pavlovian-style conditioning to encourage new habits and discourage bad ones. - **Technology-driven Behaviour Modification:** The use of technology devices such as the Pavlok 2 for behaviour modification can be a growing trend. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Wearable Technology:** The wearable technology industry can benefit from the trend of portable habit conditioning devices such as the Pavlok 2. - **Health and Wellness:** The health and wellness industry can benefit from behaviour modification devices like the Pavlok 2. - **Gaming and Entertainment:** The gaming and entertainment industry can benefit from Pavlovian-style conditioning wearables to moderate video game usage and prevent gaming addiction. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Brain Training Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brainblink-brainblink.md) - [Habit-Building Wearable Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/day-one-tracker.md) - [Extreme No-Excuse Fitness Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/workout-nightmare.md) - [Tic-Tackling Wrist Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tourettes-wrist-wearable.md) - [Electric Brain Stimulation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roga-1.md) - [Appetite-Curbing Vibrating Pills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrating-pills.md) - [Posture-Fixing Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/break.md) - [Unhealthy Eating Habit-Changing Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chewy-app.md) - [Behavioral Distraction Controls](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tabboo.md)
