Our health is the single most important investment we can make, but most people tend to take it for granted or are at a loss for what to do. Some pay no attention to the discomfort in their gut, simply attributing it to indigestion, while others belittle the stress and anxiety they feel each day, deciding to just “tough it up.” Others do take the effort to address these concerns but end up with solutions that are costly, uncomfortable, and worse, ineffective. Fortunately, that doesn’t have to be the case, thanks to these innovative wearable devices that target the centers of physical and mental health, providing people with easy-to-use, portable, safe, and comfortable tools to enjoy a pain-free gut, a stress-free mind, and a happy, healthy life in j just weeks.
It’s almost too easy to take the discomfort that we feel in our guts for granted, but that can actually affect not only our physical health but our mental state as well. If the brain is the control center of the body, the gut or gastrointestinal tract is the health hub and reflects the general state of the body. Gut problems are often a symptom of or lead to more serious health disorders, and these, in turn, also affect our mental well-being.
Revitalize Gut Health With Red Light Laser Therapy
HEAL+ is a non-invasive solution that makes sure that your gut is working properly in order to improve your overall health. The science behind HEAL+ is laser therapy, specifically low-level laser therapy or LLLT to reduce inflammation and pain that commonly occurs with gut-related disorders such as IBS, colitis, Crohn’s disease, and more. It also assists in recovery from long-COVID by boosting your immune system and improving your overall health. This non-invasive method regulates microbial balance in the gut which is necessary for proper digestion and enhanced immune functions. Going beyond your gut, HEAL+ also supercharges nitric oxide for improved blood circulation and enhances dopamine signaling in the brain to improve your mood, giving credence to the saying “A Happy Gut Means a Happy Mind.”
Best of all, HEAL+ is not some complicated machine or nauseating drug but a wearable device you simply wrap around your waist. Attach the removable laser modules to the front of the waistband and you’re good to go, enjoying the relief that HEAL+ brings to gut issues. It’s easy to use and comfortable to wear, allowing you to bring this health-promoting device anywhere with you.
Calm+ is a neck-worn device, easy to use and helps stack with daily habits. Ease the ‘fight or flight’ state triggered by daily stress within just 15 minutes. Calm+ stimulates the Vagus nerve that’s responsible for signaling the brain to release calming neurotransmitters like acetylcholine and serotonin, chemicals that are associated with calmness and relaxation. The device includes built-in sensors that will integrate optical heart measurements, allowing you to personalize the dosage to your own optimal outcomes.
Together, HEAL+ and CALM+ help improve your physical and mental well-being through a combination of red light therapy and vagus nerve stimulation. Thanks to its compact and portable design, it can keep your gut healthy and your mind happy whenever and wherever you are. The Kineon App is your ultimate guide to wellness.

What we like

Makes time-telling a simple affair
What we dislike
The clock only features 12 set cities, so you will still need to calculate the time zones outside the clock’s interface

There is a substantial increase in the number of portable home exercisers taking the crowdfunding route. The most recent was the table-size foldable rowing machine for an all-inclusive gym experience at home. During the pandemic, gyms were adversely affected by attendance; people confined themselves to their homes – stocked with exercise equipment somehow – and never looked back at gyms.
Arguably, this number has been constantly increasing since then. Even though, in most cases, this setup is nothing compared to the gear and variety at the local gym. To fill the void, compact all-in-one home exercisers, which look perfectly in place at home and are versatile to permit a range of workouts, are dropping faster than the gyms sprouting in my locality.
Gympad Bench is the latest one to jump onto the bandwagon of an all-in-one home gym system. It is a professional-level home gym that fits into a compact size for easy transportation and values the precious space in your apartment. Despite its small form factor, it can let an enthusiast indulge in a range of workouts, offering dumbbell racks, stretching space, cardio equipment, a strength training machine, and a bench among other options.
Designed for everyone, who fancies a versatile home gym facility, but doesn’t have the luxury of extra space to create a gym, the Gympad Bench takes as little as 0.35 sqm of space at home. It is made to look like a contemporary piece of furniture; so, when it’s not in use, and is just sitting there unattended, it won’t look off. The compact bench will fit seamlessly in your living environment while opening up to various workout options and comprehensive strength training.
When sitting there on a bench, the Gympad hides all the equipment within, other than the set of dumbbells on the sides. The bench is equipped with a pair of wheels for moving it conveniently from the sitting location to the action spot when you need it. While the standard variant comes integrated with full-body workout machines like dumbbells and barbells, weight machines, leg presses, chest fly, and cable crossover machines; all fitted into one unit, its Plus version adds a rower to the equation, unlocking a whole new range of exercise options.
The Gympad bench is a smart machine that syncs up with your smartphone, using a dedicated app, to display workout data such as fat burns, range of motion, strength score, sets, reps, or even dynamic weight adjustments. Weight adjustments are digital and an external knob is added to control the resistance ranging between 16 to 80kg; the highest in a smart gym bench on the market, the company behind the Gympad claims. Further stating that unlike most other home gyms competitors, which require subscriptions to use their training modules, Gympad bench delivers a comprehensive app for no additional fee.
Did you ever think a clipper could become a part of your EDC? Well, this one can.
I’m sure this sounds relatable. You wake up to notice you’re running late for work. You have time to brush your teeth, you’re possibly skipping your bath, and breakfast is just going to be an apple you quickly munch as you drive to work. You reach the workplace with minutes to spare, remembering you’ve also got a meeting today. Your hand runs across your jaw and you realize you didn’t get time to shave today. Even if it isn’t the kind of incident that happens on a daily basis, forgetting to shave is a quintessential problem. Either you don’t have the time, you forgot to charge your trimmer, or you’re traveling and conveniently ditched the razor/clipper thinking you wouldn’t need it.
That’s where a product like the ZERA M proves to be pretty handy. A beard trimmer small enough to fit into your pocket, the ZERA M is roughly the size of a wireless earbuds case. It measures 2.67 inches long, 1.27 inches wide, and weighs a paltry 3.4 ounces… but it’s a full-fledged stubble and nose-hair trimmer you can use on the go. Designed to fit right in your pocket, the trimmer/shaver is the ultimate on-the-go grooming accessory. You can use it directly on your skin, or pair it with a shaving cream of your choice. Either way, the ZERA M is designed to be used anywhere, whether it’s in a hotel washroom while on a business trip, at home before work, or even just minutes before you enter an important meeting where you need to look your professional best.
Technology has a way of shrinking things. Phones today are slimmer than they were 10 years back. Cameras are measurably smaller than they were decades ago. Televisions today measure about as thick as a few credit cards stacked together. There’s no reason the beard shaver should still remain a bulky device, right? After all, the shaver is merely a blade powered by a motor and battery. Eschewing the bulky, ergonomic designs of most beard shavers you see today, the ZERA M simplifies things down for the sake of compactness. The tiny device, no longer than your thumb, gives you a comprehensive shaving experience on the go.
Essentially, the device can be split into two broad parts, the base, which contains the motor and battery, and a snap-on magnetic blade module that attaches to the base. When powered, the blade rotates at a stunning 8000RPM, operating at a volume of under 30dB (that’s quieter than the hum of your refrigerator). The blades sit within a safe enclosure, trimming your beard without causing razor burn or pinching your skin. All you do is run the ZERA M around your jawline to clear out any stubble… and if you want to groom your nostrils, just snap off the blade module and replace it with the nose-trimmer module that lets you quickly trim your nose hairs.
The technology that runs the ZERA M isn’t new – shavers/clippers have existed for decades. It’s just how the ZERA M packages things that makes it so effective. Everything sits within a hyper-portable design that literally fits in your pocket. Perfect for carrying around with you (or just stashing in your suitcase or travel case during business trips), the ZERA M is there when you need it, and invisible when you don’t. The battery and motor sit enclosed within a water-tight body, making the ZERA M perfect to use even in the shower. The entire device is IPx7 water-resistant, and you can either use it dry against your skin (like any conventional shaver), or combine it with shaving cream if you want to leave your skin feeling soft and supple after a shave.
The motor operates at 8000RPM, giving you a quick, clean shave
Swap between beard-trimming and nose-trimming modules in a second
Apart from being compact enough to travel with, the ZERA M saves you big bucks in the long run. It replaces the need to buy razor blades (if you’re the kind that uses razors), saving you nearly $500 in blade refills over a span of just 1 year if you’re a regular shaver. Maintaining your ZERA M is fairly simple too – just run it under a tap to clean out any stubble that may linger around in its crevasses. The shaver also comes with a tiny brush to help you clean the blade without using water, should you choose.
The magnetic module-swapping detail is sheer genius, allowing you to go from beard trimming to nose-hair trimming without changing devices. The process of swapping modules takes barely a few seconds (as is visible below), giving you the ability to quickly and effectively groom yourself without busting out the entire shaving kit. A grooming ritual that can take nearly half an hour gets done in minutes.
The ZERA M starts at $59, which includes the base, the two upper modules (beard + nose trimmer), and a USB-C charging cable. The cable juices the ZERA M’s built-in 800mAh battery, which runs the shaver for roughly 60 days on a full charge. Meanwhile, an LED indicator on the side lets you know how much power the shaver holds, and a single-button interface lets you easily operate the shaver without needing to bust open a user manual. While traveling, long-pressing the power button puts it in ‘travel-lock’ mode, so it doesn’t accidentally switch on while inside your luggage. The ZERA M ships globally, with a 1-year warranty that’s extendable to 2 years for an extra $15.
We’ve heard of wearable ACs, but a wearable fridge is definitely uncharted territory.
Say hello to the Litheli FrozenPack, a backpack that ISN’T made for carrying clothes or tech. Instead, it’s designed to carry food and beverages… specifically the chilled kind. Modeled on the shape and size of a wearable backpack, this refrigerator has a 16-liter capacity for carrying drinks or food, a battery pack that chills your food down to -20°C (-4°F) for up to 6 hours, and an insulated design that keeps food chilled for another 4 hours with the power unplugged. The FrozenPack is compact enough to travel in cars with you while tailgating, or even on your back if you’re hiking to a campsite or to a place where cars can’t reach. You can either power it directly for hours via a power cable, or opt for the On-The-Go kit which equips you with two swappable battery packs… and no, it isn’t like those insulated beer coolers – it’s quite literally a wireless, wearable refrigerator capable of chilling drinks and preserving frozen food.
I’m not a person built for the outdoors. I do love the outdoors, but mankind developed indoors for a reason. Life indoors is comfortable. You’ve got a roof over your head, you’ve got WiFi, television for watching movies and shows, and a fridge full of snacks to eat. You don’t get all those comforts outdoors… or rather, you didn’t until now. The Litheli FrozenPack brings the final frontier of indoor comfort to the outdoors. With an incredibly high capacity-to-volume ratio (which means more storage in a smaller form factor), the FrozenPack is compact and lightweight enough that you can strap it on your shoulders like a regular backpack. In fact, it looks like a backpack in every regard, with adjustable straps, pockets, pouches, and mesh holders for extra supplies… but its pièce de résistance is revealed when you open the backpack’s lid to find yourself with what’s essentially 16 liters of fridge-space.
The storage space is perfectly optimized for carrying your drinks or food efficiently. The FrozenPack can snugly fit 10 large beverage cans along with 9 bottles in its cooler compartment, or even store multiple packs of canned food. If you’re looking to stash ice cream, the fridge’s adjustable temperature setting lets you crank the cooling down enough to store ice cream or frozen food. The FrozenPack’s temperature can be configured using a control panel on the front that also houses a display that tells you the fridge’s inner temperature as well as its battery level. The fridge’s temperature can be micro-adjusted between a range of -4°F to 68°F, allowing you to change settings based on the kind of stuff you’re storing within the FrozenPack. This eventually also affects the fridge’s run time, with the highest running time being an impressive 8 hours on Eco Mode. The small size means cooling happens much faster too, allowing the Litheli FrozenPack to go from regular to chilled in just 15 minutes, and with an operating noise level of below 35dB, the FrozenPack is even quieter than your conventional kitchen fridge.
Powering your adventures is the U20 IPS SUPER BATTERY, a one-stop solution for the Litheli ecosystem. With a revolutionary design that allows it to exist outside the fridge instead of built into it, the 74Wh battery pack can be removed on demand or swapped out for a fresh one, allowing you to keep your fridge running for longer. This powerful battery unit delivers north of 6 hours of chilling and even doubles as a power bank for your other electronic devices, keeping you connected on and off the grid. If and when the battery runs out, the fridge still holds its temperature for a solid 4 hours, thanks to a thin yet incredibly efficient TPU840 fabric exterior, along with a PU and EPE inner lining that perfectly insulates your food without adding bulk to the design.
But the true test for any outdoor fridge lies in its ability to withstand the elements. The Litheli FrozenPack tackles bumpy roads with ease. Advanced sensor technology ensures tilt protection, allowing it to operate normally even at inclines of up to 40°. Plus, anti-shock functionality minimizes spills and keeps your food secure – even on the roughest terrains. While carrying the fridge on your back, padded shoulder straps and a sternum strap ensure the FrozenPack stays on comfortably, and add-on brackets let you easily attach the fridge to your car or motorbike/scooter while on the go too.
The Litheli FrozenPack’s design is perfectly suited for travel, with straps, flaps, and pouches galore that make it ruthlessly functional while still being fairly weatherproof. Each FrozenPack Standard Kit comes with a power cable for wired use, although if you want to experience the power of the battery-powered FrozenPack, upgrading to the On-The-Go kit gives you two swappable battery modules (along with that power cable), effectively allowing you to double your fridge’s run-time while outdoors!

Maintaining a perfectly manicured lawn shouldn’t be a relentless chore. Traditional push mowers demand endless physical effort, and robotic rotary mowers often fall short, leaving lawns looking uneven and patchy. The Oasa R1, the world’s first consumer-grade robotic reel mower, is poised to redefine lawn maintenance with professional precision and ease.
This mower handles everything from start to finish without compromising your lawn’s quality, beauty, and health. Featuring a patented reel blade, it sets a new standard. Unlike dull rotary blades that tear grass, the R1’s 335mm-wide reel delivers a clean, scissor-like low cut. This blade action reduces stress on grass plants, prevents fraying, and encourages lush growth. An adjustable cutting height from 0.8 to 4 inches is perfect for achieving that golf course-style finish with grass height between 0.75 inches and 3.3 inches.
One of its unique features is its best-in-class blade-to-body ratio. This innovative design minimizes the gap between the 13-inch blade and the mower body, allowing for superior edge trimming and significantly reducing the need for manual touch-ups. With a margin of 1.2 inches between the blade’s edge and the chassis, the machine covers more ground with each pass, ensuring efficient and thorough mowing.
The Oasa R1 introduces the world’s first self-sharpening system for robotic mowers, featuring a groundbreaking patented Voiceprint Detection Algorithm. This technology ensures perfect blade alignment with precision up to 70 microns and automatically backlaps through motor-reversed rotation, eliminating the need for manual blade sharpening. This system extends the blade’s lifespan to three to four years, saving time, energy, and money while maintaining a flawless cut. This innovative feature sets the Oasa R1 apart, making lawn maintenance easier and more efficient.
An automatic blade resharpening system reduces the need for manual replacement or realignment, distinguishing it from other robotic and traditional reel mowers.

The R1 returns to its charging station when the battery is low, when it senses rain, or when it completes its task. An integrated geofence triggers an anti-theft alert if the mower leaves the designated area, providing added security.
In addition to its core functionalities, the Oasa R1 offers several advanced features that further enhance its performance and user experience. For instance, the R1 automatically returns to its charging station when the battery drops to 10%, when rain sensors detect moisture, or when all tasks are complete. This feature ensures that the mower is always ready for the next job and protected from adverse weather conditions.
The Oasa R1 also boasts wireless charging, eliminating concerns about dirty or rusty charging ports. Thanks to an IPX6 waterproof rating, the mower stays safe from moisture and unexpected showers, ensuring longevity and reliability. Another key benefit is the mower’s ability to handle various types of terrain with ease. Whether you have a flat lawn, a hilly landscape, or a yard with multiple obstacles, this mower can navigate and maintain it efficiently. For example, a user with a steeply sloped backyard reported that the R1 managed to mow the entire area without any issues, something that was challenging with their previous mower.
Priced at $1,199, the Oasa R1 offers a premium lawn care solution with global availability. This package includes the mower, charging shelter, a two-year warranty, and even covers customs fees. Combining cutting-edge technology with the superior performance of reel blades, it sets a new standard in autonomous lawn maintenance, delivering the perfect lawn with unmatched ease.

Sleep is essential for a healthy, productive life, and the Brain Sleep Pillow is designed to give you the best sleep possible. This innovative pillow uses advanced technologies and high-quality materials to ensure comfort, support, and hygiene. Let’s dive into what makes it the last pillow you’ll buy for your nightly rest.
Focusing on the first 90 minutes of sleep, known as the “Golden 90 Minutes,” this pillow optimizes sleep quality. This period is crucial because it includes the deepest phase of sleep, significantly influencing the overall quality of your rest. Your sleep consists of REM (rapid eye movement) and non-REM (NREM) sleep cycles. Each cycle lasts about 90 minutes; the first cycle typically contains the deepest sleep. The more deep sleep you get during this period, the better the overall quality of your sleep. Body temperature is one of the key factors for achieving quality sleep during the Golden 90 Minutes. Higher body temperatures during sleep are associated with reduced deep sleep. This pillow addresses this by having over 90% of its structure made up of air space. This design prevents heat and moisture from getting trapped in the pillow, helping to keep your brain cool and promoting high-quality sleep. Data confirms that the Brain Sleep Pillow, compared to typical polyurethane pillows, leads to a higher percentage of deep sleep in the first cycle. This is backed by sleep surveys showing that users of this pillow experience more deep sleep during the Golden 90 Minutes, which is crucial for overall sleep quality.
One key aspect is its ability to keep you cool throughout the night. Traditional pillows, like those made from feathers or urethane, often trap heat, making your head feel warm and uncomfortable. However, the Brain Sleep Pillow stays much cooler, promoting better sleep. This pillow is made of a unique material that allows heat to escape quickly, so it doesn’t get trapped inside. Scientific tests show it maintains a cooler head surface temperature than other pillows. This cooling effect helps you fall asleep faster and stay in a deeper sleep longer. Imagine resting your head on a pillow that always feels cool and refreshing, even on hot nights. Dr. Seiji Nishino, a sleep expert from Stanford University, contributed significantly to this design by emphasizing the importance of temperature regulation during sleep. His expertise in sleep physiology and understanding of how cooling impacts deep sleep have been crucial in developing this innovative feature.
Another incredible feature is its personalized fit technology. This pillow is designed with a three-layer structure that perfectly balances comfort and support. The top layer, known as the adjustment layer, is soft and fluffy. This layer molds to the shape of your head, providing immediate comfort. Beneath this is the firmer support layer, which offers solid support for your head and neck. This helps keep your spine aligned properly, reducing any strain or discomfort. The bottom layer, called the base layer, is harder and allows air to flow through the pillow, keeping it cool and increasing its durability. The pillow also features a unique nine-gradation system. This means the pillow has varying firmness levels across its width, ranging from hard to soft and back to hard. This design supports your head and neck whether you sleep on your side, back, or stomach. It also makes it easier to turn over without losing support, which helps reduce strain on your head and neck.
Keeping your pillow clean and fresh is crucial for a good night’s sleep, and this pillow makes it easy with its Super Clean technology. Humans typically sweat around 200ml while sleeping, but the pillow’s excellent breathability prevents moisture build-up, promoting a hygienic sleeping environment. Made in Japan, it undergoes meticulous quality checks. Skilled technicians and craftsmen carefully inspect each pillow to meet stringent quality standards. Once the pillow passes these rigorous inspections, it is carefully packed and delivered to customers, ensuring it arrives perfectly.
This pillow is made from 100% recyclable and sustainable polyethylene, reflecting a commitment to environmental responsibility. In addition to the high-quality pillow itself, you can choose from different covers to suit your preferences. The Active Air cover is made from breathable mesh material with water-absorbent, quick-drying, antibacterial, and anti-odor properties. It ensures a comfortable, non-sticky feel and dries quickly even after washing, making it ideal for rainy days. This cover is made of 100% polyester. The Organic Cotton cover is made from 100% organic cotton, grown without pesticides or chemical fertilizers for over three years. It offers natural antibacterial, deodorizing, absorbent, and quick-drying properties, ensuring a clean and comfortable sleep environment. The use of organic cotton reflects the company’s commitment to environmentally friendly materials. The Perfect Cool EX cover combines a powerful cooling function with moisture absorption. It enhances the cooling sensation of the pillow, making it ideal for hot nights. The cover is made from a blend of composite fibers, nylon, polyurethane, and polyester, ensuring durability and comfort.
Another significant benefit of this pillow is its ease of maintenance. The water-washable pillow dries quickly, so you can keep it clean with minimal effort. This makes it ideal for those with allergies, such as house dust, and families with small children. The pillow’s design also minimizes mold growth, adding to its hygienic benefits. For maintenance, if your pillow loses its plumpness, you can restore it by fluffing it with a 45-50-degree shower. This simple care routine keeps the pillow in optimal shape, providing consistent comfort. Just be sure to avoid using water hotter than 50°C (122°F) to prevent any damage to the material.
Integrating multiple advanced technologies, this pillow provides a superior sleeping experience. From cooling and personalized fit to hygiene and sustainability, the pillow addresses various aspects of sleep quality. Its innovative design, combined with high-quality materials and thoughtful features, ensures that users can enjoy a comfortable, restful, and clean sleep environment every night. Whether you’re looking for a cooler pillow that fits perfectly to your head and neck or stays clean and fresh with ease, the Brain Sleep Pillow has it all. By focusing on the crucial first 90 minutes of sleep and ensuring that the pillow remains hygienic and comfortable, this pillow helps you achieve the deep, restful sleep you need to wake up refreshed and ready for the day. Dr. Seiji Nishino’s contributions to its design ensure that it is backed by cutting-edge sleep research, making it a scientifically validated tool for better sleep. So, if you want to improve your sleep quality, the Brain Sleep Pillow is definitely worth considering.
