Designed to be simply worn on both wrists, the 'TouchPoints' work by providing small levels of vibration that can help to eliminate stress, calm your mind and body, help you focus and even increase your overall performance. The devices can also offer effective results when a person is finding it difficult to sleep. The 'TouchPoints' wearables have also shown promise for being able to help the wearer reduce their feelings of angry or cravings that can come about at any given time throughout the day. This means the devices are potentially very helpful for those who might be trying to quit smoking or restrict their food intake. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.7/10 - Popularity: 96% | Activity: 96% | 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 - **Stress-alleviating Wearables:** TouchPoints are just one example of how wearables can be utilized to manage stress and improve well-being. - **Personalized Health Tech:** Technology like TouchPoints cater to individual needs and provide personalized solutions to health issues. - **Non-invasive Stress Management:** Wearables that use vibration therapy offer a non-invasive solution to managing stress and anxiety. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Health and Wellness:** Technology like TouchPoints and wearables offer new methods for managing health and wellness. - **Fitness:** Wearables that can manage stress and anxiety can be a valuable tool for athletes and fitness enthusiasts. - **Consumer Goods:** The exploration of non-invasive stress management techniques offers consumer goods and technology companies an opportunity to expand their product portfolios. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Stress-Relieving Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cove.md) - [Calming Resonance Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anxiety-relief-device.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) - [Sensory Stimulation Strips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calm-strips.md) - [Wearable Stress Management Monitors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stress-anxiety-monitor-app.md) - [Electric Brain Stimulation Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roga-1.md) - [Anti-Anxiety Sensory Touch Stickers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sensory-touch-stickers.md) - [Tic-Tackling Wrist Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tourettes-wrist-wearable.md)
