Frequently Asked Questions

AWEAR helps you understand your mental state in real time. It uses EEG sensors around the ear to capture brain activity, and AI to translate patterns into simple insights like stress, focus, and mental load displayed in the AWEAR mobile app.

EEG (electroencephalography) is a technology that’s been used for over 100 years to measure brain activity. It detects tiny electrical signals generated by millions of neurons firing together, for example when you feel an emotion or focus on a task.

AWEAR brings this powerful, well-established technology into a consumer wearable, using AI to translate these brain signals into simple insights about your mental state.

AWEAR tracks patterns in brain-related signals over time and uses AI to translate changes into simple indicators of mental effort, balance, and activation, shown in the mobile app to help you understand how your mind responds throughout the day.

When needed, it gently nudges you with a soothing vibration and simple prompts to pause, breathe, and reset in the moment.

AWEAR is designed to support awareness and self-reflection and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.

Yes. AWEAR builds on decades of research in neuroscience, EEG, and affective computing. These fields study how patterns of brain activity relate to cognitive and emotional processes.

AWEAR applies these scientific foundations by combining EEG sensing with advanced signal processing and AI to translate brain signals into meaningful insights.

Yes. AWEAR has conducted internal testing and neuroscience validation to evaluate its sensing technology. We also work with neuroscientists and clinicians affiliated with institutions such as Stanford Medicine, UCSF, and other longevity organizations, to address specific use cases and gather feedback.

AWEAR is designed as a consumer wellness wearable to support awareness and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition.

Yes. AWEAR is developed by a multidisciplinary team that includes engineers as well as experts in neuroscience, computational neuroscience, and psychophysiology. We also collaborate with researchers and academic institutions on studies and peer-reviewed publications.

AWEAR helps you become more aware of patterns in your mental activity. By noticing shifts earlier, it can help you pause, reflect, and build habits that support stress awareness and emotional balance over time.

AWEAR is a wellness wearable designed to support awareness and wellbeing and is not intended to diagnose or treat any condition.

No. AWEAR is not a medical device and does not diagnose mental health conditions.

It is a wellness wearable that provides insights into patterns in signals associated with brain activity to support personal awareness and wellbeing. These insights are not medical evaluations, and AWEAR is not intended to diagnose or treat any condition.

Most wearables today track sleep, cardiovascular, and metabolic wellbeing. AWEAR focuses on mental wellbeing, another key pillar of longevity.

Using discreet EEG sensing behind the ear, it translates patterns related to brain activity into simple insights about focus, stress, and recovery.

Instead of complex data, AWEAR provides clear, practical feedback to help you understand how your mind responds throughout the day and build habits that support your overall wellbeing.

Insights are delivered through the AWEAR mobile app, where patterns in signals associated with brain activity are translated into simple, easy-to-understand insights.

AWEAR may also provide gentle, discreet notifications, including subtle vibrations, to support awareness throughout the day without being disruptive, and notifications can be turned off at any time in the app.

Yes. You can manage or turn off notifications at any time in the app settings.

No. We currently offer free lifetime app membership for early Beta testers. Future access may vary depending on the product version and release stage, and any membership options will be clearly communicated at the time of purchase or app setup.

Yes. AWEAR treats signals associated with brain activity as sensitive information and is designed with privacy and security in mind.

Data is handled using industry-standard security practices to help protect your information, and you can control your data at any time, including accessing or deleting it within the app.
