This wearable device is described as a "drug-free remedy for nausea and vomiting" onset by either morning or motion sickness, as well as feelings of nausea that come on after operations. The watch-like band delivers personalized electrical impulses to the underside of the wearer's wrist. These pulses are ultra-specific, tailored to the right frequency in order to block waves of nausea that are sent to the body through the stomach. After being cleared by the [FDA](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nerivio-ren) and sold through the medical community, ReliefBand is now targeting consumers who are plagued by sickness. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 62% | 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 - **Wearable Nausea Prevention:** The development of wearable devices specifically designed to prevent and manage nausea. - **Personalized Electrical Impulses:** The use of tailored electrical pulses to block waves of nausea and vomiting. - **Targeting Consumer Health:** The shift towards consumer-focused health solutions for managing sickness and improving well-being. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Wearable Technology:** The industry that manufactures and markets wearable devices for health and well-being. - **Medical Devices:** The sector that produces medical devices for prevention and treatment, including nausea management. - **Consumer Health:** The industry focused on providing health solutions and products directly to consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Tic-Tackling Wrist Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tourettes-wrist-wearable.md) - [Wearable Neurostimulation Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neurostimulation-device.md) - [Hot-Flash-Controlling Wearable Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/embr-wave-2.md) - [Wellness-Centric Wearable Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/apollo-neuro-wearable.md) - [Noninvasive Digital Stress Relievers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vagus-nerve-stimulator.md) - [Nausea-Abating VR Platforms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vr-platform.md) - [Adolescent Migraine Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nerivio-ren.md) - [Overdose-Preventing Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/overdose-preventing-wearable.md) - [Personal Cooling Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/relief-from-menopause.md)
