The 'Grace' bracelet has been designed by Peter Astbury as a piece of equipment to help offset the experiences of menopause to make things more comfortable for the individual. The bracelet works by continually monitoring the wearer for changes in their temperature and will detect when a hot flash is going to occur within about one minute. This activates a cooling unit that will help to alleviate the experience to ensure that the person doesn't feel too overwhelmed by the occurrence to keep them comfortable during the day and even when sleeping.
The 'Grace' bracelet wearable comes in response to the aging population that is seeing more women experience menopause and seek out ways to counteract the effects.
