Although it might seem like a mild case of torture, the Shock Clock is being touted as “the first device that uses effective, tested sensory inputs to wake you up and keep you alert.” As it's name suggest, the Shock Clock shocks people awake with a series of vibrations, beeps and electric shocks. Although it doesn't sound very pleasant, it is quite effective.
Essentially, the Shock Clock aims to not be used in this manner for long. Instead it works to train people to wake up feeling fresh all on their own. Normally a tired and cranky individual in the morning? The Shock Clock could change what may feel like an ingrained part of your personality.
What Makes This Trend Stand Out
- Sensory Input Alarm Clocks
- Innovative alarm clocks using sensory inputs for waking up and alertness.
- Pavlovian Training Technology
- Integrating Pavlovian principles into technology for behavior modification and training.
- Behavior Monitoring Devices
- Wearable devices that track and monitor behavior to facilitate behavioral change.
Sectors Adopting This
- Consumer Electronics
- Opportunities for consumer electronics manufacturers to develop innovative alarm clock products.
- Health Technology
- Application of Pavlovian training principles in health tech for behavior modification and sleep therapy.
- Wearable Technology
- Potential for wearable technology for tracking and monitoring sleep and behavior modification.
