'Quell' is a pain-relieving wearable that works to eliminate chronic pains in the body. The Quell is worn on your upper calf, with the electrode in direct contact to your skin. Quell stimulates the nerves in the upper calf, which then carries neural pulses to the portion of the brain responsible for pain relief response.
To cater to each individual, Quell has a quick and easy calibration setup that customizes to the individual wearing it. Quell uses technology called OptiTherapy to ensure that each user gets the right amount of pain relief. Users can also track their therapy and sleep sessions through a Bluetooth-connected app.
In the US alone, 100 million people suffer from chronic pain and are unable to find a long-lasting solution. Quell is attempting to change that statistic and also offer a drug-free alternative as the world's first pain-relieving wearable.
