Reliefband Continues to Break New Ground in 'Wearable Treatable' Technology Reliefband ® Technologies, LLC, an innovator in wearable technology that treats motion sickness, is debuting its advanced 2.0 technology at CES in 2018. Reliefband technology provides an effec- tive and drug-free solution for control- ling nausea, retching and vomiting asso- ciated with motion sickness, morning sickness, virtual reality gaming, postop- erative care and chemotherapy induced nausea and vomiting (CINV). According to Forbes, the global wear- able technology market is estimated to reach revenue of $34 billion by 2020 and further doubling by 2023. The Wearable Technology Market is saturated with fit- ness trackers, health monitors and smart watches. Reliefband is a trailblazer in the "wearable treatable" category with FDA- cleared, clinically–proven, neuro-stimula- tion for the drug-free treatment of nausea. Led by a board of directors of sea- soned consumer and healthcare execu- tives, "Reliefband Technologies is a great growth investment and one that I'm excited to see open up a new field in the wearable tech market," according to Bill Gantz, President of PathoCapital LLC, a private investment firm and Board Chairman of Reliefband Technologies. With enhanced aesthetics, intuitive controls and a more consumer friendly design, the Reliefband 2.0 is ideal for both occasional and all day use. Unlike other key players in the global wearable technology market – like Apple, Fitbit and Jawbone – Reliefband's technology actually treats people instead of just tracking their activity. "Uniquely designed for optimal usability, Reliefband devices accommodate the uniqueness of each person's individual physiology and sensitivity," indicates Nick Spring, the company's President and Chief Executive Officer. "The Neurowave Pulse Generator, a patented technology at the heart of the devices, holds proprietary elec- tronic components and software that con- trol, develop and deliver unique pulses, with highly specific characteristics. It is this very precise technology that will quickly control nausea from motion sickness and other significant indications. Endorsed by healthcare professionals, this easy-to-use, comfortable and adjustable wearable helps put people back in control, so they can live their lives in full motion.
