# Efficient Fat Reduction Wearables MODIUS Sends Signals to the Brain to Speed Up Your Metabolism By Julianne Goldfinger | Published 2017-08-10 | Lifestyle Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fat-reduction-wearable References: [indiegogo](https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/modius-groundbreaking-fat-reduction-technology-fitness-health#/) & [modiushealth](https://www.modiushealth.com/) Neuroscientists at the University of California in San Diego have uncovered a way to trick your brain into speeding up your natural metabolism so that you don't feel hungry with MODIUS - a new fat reduction wearable that helps users lose weight more efficiently. Many consumers who are looking to shed some pounds are relentlessly on the lookout for a quick fix when it comes to getting the results that they want, as doing it the old fashioned way is time consuming, and requires a large amount of input with a very slow-paced reward. MODIUS works by triggering the hypothalamus using low-level electric pulses to send a message to your brain to let you know that you're already full. From there, the science is simple: less intake, less storage, and less body fat. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 57% | Activity: 77% | 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's Driving This Trend - **Metabolism-boosting Wearables:** Opportunity for innovative wearables that stimulate the metabolism and aid in weight loss through brain signals. - **Efficiency-enhancing Weight Loss Solutions:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in developing efficient solutions for weight loss that provide quick results and reduce time-consuming efforts. - **Neuroscience-based Weight Management:** Potential for disruption by leveraging neuroscience to create wearable devices that regulate hunger signals and improve weight management. ### Who This Affects Most - **Healthtech:** The health technology industry can explore opportunities in developing wearable devices that leverage brain signals to optimize weight loss and metabolism. - **Fitness:** Fitness industry players can leverage technology to create innovative wearables that enhance weight loss efficiency and provide a quick reward. - **Wellness:** Wellness industry can tap into neuroscience-based solutions to offer efficient weight management products and services. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Metabolism-Enhancing Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wearable-and-app.md) - [Wearable Weight Loss Patches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eopatch.md) - [Appetite-Curbing Vibrating Pills](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vibrating-pills.md) - [Brain Stimulation Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mave.md) - [Electric Brain Stimulation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roga-1.md) - [At-Home Neuromodulation Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neuromodulation-device.md) - [Brain-Balancing Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neuro-wellness-enhancer.md) - [Mind-Body Metabolic Supplements](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/weight-management-support.md) - [Brain Training Headsets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/brain-training-solution.md)
