Mike Busa and Team Partner to Help Predict Hot Flashes

Michael Busa, PhD

Embr Labs partnered with professor Mike Busa and his team in the Center for Human Health and Performance to develop a breakthrough feature for the Embr Wave wearable device. Busa’s group conducted a large-scale study with over 60 participants, capturing around 1,000 hot flashes using advanced skin monitors. Their analysis revealed early physiological signals—such as spikes in salt and moisture—occurring up to a minute before symptoms were noticed. Leveraging this data, Busa’s team created algorithms that predict hot flashes with 69% accuracy about 17 seconds in advance. This innovation will enable future Embr Wave models to deliver automatic cooling relief without user intervention.
