Hot flashes and night sweats can significantly disrupt the daily lives of (peri)menopausal women, causing immense discomfort and sleep disturbances, and LG Electronics' Menopause Mode helps to enhance relief and comfort.
Menopause Mode, currently in beta, uses a smartwatch app to monitor body temperature, heart rate and blood oxygen levels. When a hot flash is identified at night, the app relays a command to a connected LG Dual Inverter +AI air conditioner to lower the room’s temperature.
"It's not just an app that improves women's well-being. Menopause Mode is taking the smart home to the next level. For the first time, it'll react to the body's vital signs," says Lilian Cavallini, Head of Creative Technology at AlmapBBDO.
