WAT Medical's innovative weight management wristband, ObeEnd, receives top awards in iF Design Award and Red Dot Award: Product Design 2021, for its aesthetically appealing, innovative, and smart design quality.
The iF Design Award is one of the oldest independent design institutions in the world, identifying and promoting outstanding designs since 1953. Among 10,000 submissions from 52 countries, ObeEnd has earned the 2021 iF Design Award under Design Excellence.
The Red Dot Award: Product Design has been appraising the best designs of various products submitted by manufacturers and designers from around the world since 1955. ObeEnd is selected, among a highly competitive pool of products from over 60 countries, as one that has one of the most outstanding designs of 2021.
ObeEnd is the world's first smart wristband that utilizes targeted neuromodulation and closed-loop feedback technology to help manage weight. It seamlessly incorporates a wide variety of hardware utilities in its simple and elegant design. The electrodes used for targeted neuromodulation are embedded within the wrist strap. The step counting, heart rate monitoring, and fitness tracking functions are all blended in the main unit of the device. ObeEnd is made of hypoallergenic medical grade silicone, and offers IP65 water resistance.
The HD touchscreen and user-friendly interface offer users a straightforward way to operate the device and to monitor their exercise progression. The mobile application offers additional long-term data tracking, and helps provide feedback for its users through a closed-loop system; by monitoring exercise routines and physical activities, personalized exercise goals can be generated. ObeEnd is the first wearable device to combine the therapeutic aspects of neuromodulation with fitness tracking utilities.
ObeEnd is the second device developed by WAT Medical to receive an international design award, with the first being WAT Medical's anti-nausea wristband, EmeTerm, which received the iF design award in 2017 for its intuitive usability and innovative design, and is currently distributed over 30 countries and eligible for FSA and HSA. ObeEnd is approved by the US Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and CE marked for Europe. The innovative wellness device will help consumers manage weight and enjoy healthy lifestyle.
