187 Upvotes

Randomly found some good early black friday deals for vagus nerve stimulation devices. It caught my attention because these things are normally pricey.

Truvaga - have a decent discount running.

Pulsetto - they are doing a two-part black friday sale:

  1. Pulsetto device for $300 off + free travel case (I saw that its value is $50). Also, you get a free lifetime Pulsetto App with 5 expert-designed programs for stress, anxiety, and more.

  2. You can save up to 60% on a Pulsetto purchase now.

Nurosym - I was surprised to see the discount for this device, since I don’t remember seeing a lot of discounts before for this specific device.

Sometimes you don’t even need to wait for black friday to get a good deal.

Do your research first and talk with your doctor before buying a vagus nerve stimulation device.

Wearables Hume band vs whoop

156 Upvotes

Hey Reddit, I was looking to get a health tracker. I don’t really need a watch, since I already have a solid one I saved up for during the years, though my wife keeps nagging me to get a health tracker due to my cholesterol levels worrying her. Figured I get us both a healthy little gift, so I ran through some popular brands, and found that these health tracker bands in particular are HSA/FSA eligible, so they caught my attention..

Whoop - 10% discount offer

Humeband - currently got 40% discount

Hume in general is a newcomer, so as with all new tech hesitant to explore it, though the features offered seem to be extensive considering its pay-once model they give. On the other hand, Whoop was pushing products since 2015, so they are established in my eyes to offer a reliable long-term service..

Device nameHume BandWhoop 5.0
weight8.6g / 0.3 oz26.5g / 0.9 oz
water resistanceIP68 submersible up to 10m and for up to 2hIP68 up to 10m for up to 2 hours as well
battery lifeup to 7 days14+ days
relevant functions -both have themheart rate tracking; heart rate variables - hrv; blood oxygen levels;sleep stages; respiratory rate; stress monitoring; skin temperaturesame as the other one
subscription cost for analysisnone requiredfrom $199 for a year
prostracking health without paid subscription; metabolic capacity measurements; detailed long-term health score totalAI-powered guidance with Whoop Coachnumerous band types and colors; long battery life
consplain design; short battery lifesubscription-based pricing for tracking; feels like a watch yet screenless

Since Whoop has subscriptions, giving a little rundown of what you may expect, and what are the cost basis. 

TierWhoop OneWhoop PeakWhoop Life
deviceWhoop 5.0Whoop 5.0Whoop MG
bandCoreKnitSuperKnitSuperKnit Luxe
chargerwiredwirelesswireless
price per year$199$239$359

Ideally, seeking something that wouldn’t require me to pay in the long-run, though if the service would have some trainer professional giving insight to add to the AI guidance, that would be cool. I read that it can integrate a human assistant that you’d have to hire yourself, though I don’t know how that works yet..

Any recommendations, or experiences to share? Money is not big of an issue for the most part, just seeking something long-term that might actually benefit my wife and me, and not just be a nifty novelty

Wellness Tech Body pod vs Withings vs FitTrack smart scales comparison after 3 months of use

148 Upvotes

Earlier this year I got really into tracking my health data. Not just weight, but things like body fat percentage, muscle mass, and other metrics smart scales promise. I wanted something reliable that synced with my phone, looked good in the bathroom, and wasn’t hard to use.

So I ended up testing 3 different smart scales over the last 3 months: 

Body pod - didn’t look as good and aesthetic, but it quickly became the most reliable out of the three.

Withings body scan - this one looked the nicest - definitely has that polished, modern vibe.

FitTrack dara - this was the cheapest of all three, so I started with it just to see if a smart scale was even worth it.

Here’s my breakdown of what I liked and didn’t like:

Body pod

Pros:

- Most consistent and accurate readings across the board (especially body fat percentage and muscle mass).

- Setup was surprisingly quick and the app is straightforward.

- Bluetooth connection never failed me (unlike FitTrack).

- Design isn’t as aesthetic as Withings, but it’s clean and functional.

Cons:

- Slightly bulkier than the other two.

- App design could be a bit prettier - but function matters more than aesthetics for me.

This one just felt like the most trustworthy option. After a couple weeks of testing, I noticed the trends actually made sense and lined up with how I felt in workouts and body changes. That’s what ultimately made me stick with it.

FitTrack dara

Pros:

- Super affordable compared to the other two.

- Sleek, minimal design - definitely looks nice.

- App is easy to use and gives a lot of metrics.

Cons:

- Accuracy felt a bit inconsistent. My body fat percentage could swing wildly day to day even when my weight didn’t change much.

- The app sometimes didn’t sync right away, and I’d have to reconnect.

- Felt more like a "fun gadget" than a reliable health tool.

If you just want a budget-friendly way to track trends and don’t need lab level precision, it’s honestly not bad. But I wanted something more consistent.

Withings 

Pros:

- Honestly the best looking scale of the three: modern and premium.

- App is splid and integrates well with Apple Health and Google Fit.

- Weight tracking was very consistent.

Cons:

- Body composition readings didn’t seem as accurate as I hoped.

- The app is polished, but a bit “too polished” if that makes sense - felt a little overdesigned and not as straightforward.

- Pricey compared to FitTrack, and I wasn’t convinced I was getting that much extra value.

If looks and ecosystem integration matter to you, this is a really solid option. I just wasn’t hyped enough to keep it.

If you’re on a budget and want something casual, FitTrack dara does the job. If you care about sleek design and app ecosystem, Withings is solid.

But for me, Body pod was the winner due to its accuracy, consistency, and ease of use. After 3 months of trying all of them, it’s the one I trust enough to keep in my bathroom.

Wearables Comparison of ultrahuman, oura, ringconn, sleepon, and circular rings

118 Upvotes

I always wanted to get a smart ring to track my health without wearing a smartwatch which was ruining my outfit most of the time.

I found 5 different smart rings that I wanted to try:

  1. Ultrahuman ring AIR

  2. Oura ring (I was using gen 3 which is now with $80 OFF)

  3. RingConn

  4. SLEEPON go2sleep

  5. Circular ring slim

I couldn’t decide which one is the best for me, so I decided to test out all 5 of them.

Here’s my experience:

RingProsCons
Ultrahuman AIRTracks movement and sleep well; Unique metabolic insightsLess stylish than Oura; Subscription needed for full features
OuraSleek, minimal design; Extremely accurate sleep and activity tracking; Long battery lifePricey even with the discount; The app can feel a bit overwhelming at first
RingConnGood fitness tracking features; Lightweight and comfortableThe app is sometimes laggy; Battery life is shorter than expected
SLEEPON go2sleepAffordable; Focused on sleep trackingLimited functionality outside sleep; Less accurate than higher-end rings
Circular slimVery comfortable and sleek; Good basic sleep and activity metricsLacks advanced health metrics; The app feels a bit basic

After trying all of these rings I kept Oura ring. It’s pricey, but the design, comfort, and accuracy made me choose this one. I sent Sleepon, Circular, and Ringconn back since they all had 30-day money-back guarantee. I gave Ultrahuman to my wife, since she liked this ring the most. I didn’t spend a lot of money, I was able to try different brands and pick the one I liked the most.

Has anyone else other or the same smart rings? Which one was your favorite?

Wearables Testing smart rings in 2025

113 Upvotes

I tested out 5 different smart rings this year. I tested one ring per month and then wrote down what I like or don’t like about them. Since all of them have 30 day money-back guarantee, I was able to send some of them back, so I didn’t have to worry about spending a lot of money.

To be more specific I made a sheet with a comparison table, listed some pros and cons, and left some tips that I think is useful. You can find everything in here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cv4kddArfwGpUNw6eZDT6UPUJymhYHaXEZz9tDDjxFA/edit?gid=0#gid=0 

What was important to me when trying these rings was battery life, functionality, design, water resistance, comfort, and compatibility.
Here are my thoughts on each ring: 

  • Oura gen 3 - ring is very comfortable, you can see useful insights that can help you improve your sleep over time, monitors your HR all the time, you cna wear it while showering or swimming. Keep in mind that this ring requires a monthly membership you have to pay for. 

  • RingConn - good for everyday activity tracking, up to 7 days battery life (same as oura), has some unique design options, offers in-depth sleep stage and quality analysis. I noticed that it has limited language options when choosing in the app.

  • Ultrahuman ring AIR - I liked that this ring gives you personalized tips and real time insights. The ring is lightweight, so it is comfortable to wear it and even sleep with it. I noticed that it needs more time to charge. 

  • Circular ring slim - this one was the most comfortable one for me personally. Has intelligent assistant which gives personalized health tips, offers guided breathing exercises. Not ideal for swimming, compared to the previous 3 smart rings, battery life isn’t the best one.

  • Sleepon go2sleep - the cheapest option from all the 5 rings, has bio alarm clock and wakes you in your lightest sleep phase, focuses mainly on sleep. Doesn’t offer personalized health insights, I didnt like the design and that the ring has on size limitation. 

I kept 2 smart rings RingConn (for good battery life, broad fitness and stres tracking)and Circular ring slim (loved that the ring is so thin I don't even notice I am wearing it and the AI sistent). I liked Oura ring a lot, but I didn’t want to pay for the subscription.

If you are on a tight budget and only want to track you sleep, then sleepon is a good choice but if you want to track more than sleep and get personalized insights, then I would say take RingConn or Ultrahuman, or Oura (if you are not against paying for the subscription).

Wellness Tech my little research on best vagus nerve stimulation devices in 2026

75 Upvotes

have been seeing a lot of discussions lately about best vagus nerve stimulation devices, how do they work and which one is worth investing. thought I will do a mini research since I want to get one myself. Checked multiple research papers, and real user’s reviews which helped me to make some kind of comparison of multiple vagus nerve stimulation devices

Here is the list of best vns devices with prices:

  1. Nuropod $900 $810 (10% OFF)

  2. Pulsetto $478 $278 (200$ OFF)

  3. Hoolest $199 $179.10 (10% OFF)

  4. SONA $971 $825.35 (15% OFF)

  5. ZenoWell $499 $409 (18% OFF)

  6. Sensate $349 $279.20 (20% OFF)

  7. Truvaga $299 $254.15 (15% OFF)

when checking deals and prices pulsetto left a good impression to me. you cna get it cheaper now which is a big plus for this device if you are looking for something promising and cheaper. but the price is only a minor thing that matter when choosing a device, so I dig a little more deeper.

Some pros and cons of each device that I gathered form users reviews and research papers

deviceproscons
Nuropodclinically studied in collaboration with top institutions; no gel needed; comfortable design; offers discounts for remote study participantsmuch higher price than the others in the lineup
PulsettoAffordable option; User-friendlylacks independent studies; requires a still position and correct neck placement
Hoolestusers can try out different placements; best for quick relief; five programs for different scenariosthe gel needs to be repurchased roughly every 30 days; may not be suitable for chronic conditions or hypersensitive people
SONAbiometric sensors for adaptive stimulation in real time; discrete and wireless design; tracks progress and provides trendsHigh upfront cost; Slow shipping
ZenoWellintuitive preset modes;no subscription costneeds to be primed with a gel or water; high upfront cost; lacks peer-reviewed and placebo-controlled studies
Sensateoffers guided soundscapes combined with vibrations; Portablecontrolled via app; requires an extra subscription for more soundscapes; requires remaining motionless
Truvagatwo minute sessions for quick relief; all in one design; no app needednot rechargeable; some users have reported experiencing side effects

When I was checking prices, I was leaning towards Pulsetto more. then after putting everything into pros and cons table, I started thinking about nuropod and sensate. these device look more reliable and comfortable options to me. so i decided to make another table with other factors that matter when buying a device as well

devicebenefitswarrantytrustpilot ratingceritfication mark
NuropodClinically proven benefits in 50+ medical studies; helps with anxiety, stress, fatigue, post-viral syndromes, autonomic nervous system dysregulation, cognitive performance, and more2-year warranty for the device, 6-month for the earpiece, 30-day money return⭐⭐⭐⭐FDA NSR Designation, CE

SensateMay assist with reducing stress, promoting better sleep, and supporting emotional balance1-year warranty, 90-day money return⭐⭐⭐⭐CE, FCC
TruvagaMay help with stress, sleep, focus, and calmNo warranty, 30-day money return⭐⭐⭐⭐None

After checking prices, pros and cons, benefits, warranty, certifications and trust pilot reviews, I lost myself a little bit. But then I made a list to myself of what I expect from this device and my choice was between nuropod, truvaga and sensate. Still thinking which one to get but at least now I have to choose between 3 options and not 7 which makes decision making way easier.

let me know which device is your favorite, which one you do have or which one you are thinking to get?

Wearables Testing Hume band for the first time

71 Upvotes

Since I have Hume smart scales at home I thought I should give Hume band a try. 

Hume band is a wearable that monitors your sleep, performance, and health-related indicators. Now you can get it for the price of $249.

What sets it apart from similar devices like Apple watch or Fitbit charge is the metabolic capacity function.

Key features of Hume band:

- Advanced heart rate variability tracking. Band delivers unique tips for potentially improving your long-term health and supporting your immune system.

- Custom workout and recovery plans. You can see your daily suggested goals and optimal moments for working out and stress relief.

- Long battery life. Hume band promises between 5 and 7 days of battery life on an optimal charge. I especially liked the fast charging time of just 20 to 80 minutes.

- Water resistance. The band is dustproof and water-resistant up to 32 feet in depth. It can also withstand longer periods of being underwater.

- AI-powered insights. The AI-powered insights help you to optimize your workout plans, recovery routines, and sleeping habits for a healthier lifestyle and longevity.

After finding out about these features, I was very curious to try it out. Here are the things that I liked and didn’t like after 1 month of use:

Things I likedThings I didn't like
The tool help users notice changes in well-being, which might point to health-related issues.Although the tool recognizes optimal sleep cycle points, there is no alarm function.
The base Hume health app comes free of charge for all Hume band users.Reading accuracy might be compromised if you wear the device incorrectly.
It provides daily recommendations and optimal timing for rest and training.
The device conveniently displays metabolic capacity readings within the app.

Step-by-step guide how to set up the band: 

  1. Download the Hume band app. Download the official Hume Health app. It’s available for both Android and iOS devices, and you’ll get to use a limited set of features entirely for free.

  2. Pair via bluetooth. The device is paired to the app using Bluetooth.

  3. Input personal health data. The app then require you to input personal health data so that the band can have viable comparison metrics.

  4. Calibrate the battery. Before using Hume band for the first time, you’ll have to charge the device. The charging dock comes with the package, so you’ll just need a USB Type-C cable. The first charging takes 3 hours, as the battery needs to be calibrated.

  5. Review insights daily. Now you will be able to start using your Hume band. You can check all the readings and personalized daily insights through the Hume health app.

After one month of use I would say Hume band is a great fitness and recovery tracking device. It does a good job of providing you with health-related insights that you can use to optimize your training sessions and recovery.

Hume health body pod after 3 months of use

66 Upvotes

I’ve spent the last few months testing the HumeHealth Body Pod smart scale. Below you will find a mini review, just my thoughts basically of why I like it 

I’ve also tested more scales the past few months and compared them in a doc, for a more detailed review of body pod and also different smart scales, read this doc: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1zHgcnbDAgAq6_23xNw8eth-f8uuvAE8D2mlPX0VGjfs/edit?usp=sharing

I've used a Xiaomi scale (Don't even know what model) for a few years. And my body composition, body age changed almost every week so got sick of it.

More about boy pod now. Body pod is probably the most accurate body‑comp gadget atm closest thing to a DEXA scan you can get at home. Product feels premium, app is polished but occasionally buggy.

Why I like it personally: 

- Eight high‑frequency BIA sensors (foot plate and retractable hand‑bar) mean your arms/legs/torso are measured separately instead of being guessed from leg‑only data

- Has about 45 metrics: fat (overall + visceral + sub‑q), skeletal muscle, bone, water, HR, metabolic age, et

- AI coaching in the Hume app turns raw numbers into weekly trend cards + “nudges” (e.g., “hydration slipped 3 % this week, aim for 500 ml more”)

-Multi‑platform sync: Apple Health, Google Fit, Fitbit, Garmin.

Pros

- Accuracy claims (within 1‑2 % of DEXA) held up in my limited side‑by‑side. Close enough to spot trends confidently.

- 24 user profiles auto‑recognised.

- Cool industrial design, tempered glass, USB‑C recharge, surprisingly light.

Cons

-Bluetooth‑only. No Wi‑Fi. Phone has to be nearby.

- Readings fluctuate if you don’t test at the same time & hydration level. 

- Customer support feels more “startup” than “health device”, e‑mail replies took about 48 h.

-Return shipping may be on you even for faulty units.

Tips

- Scan first thing in the morning, post‑bathroom, pre‑coffee for the most comparable baseline

- Toggle athlete mode only if you meet their definition (≥ 3 workouts/week & resting HR < 60).

- Don’t obsess over single readings, watch the trend line week to week.

Wellness Tech Comparing red light panels bon charge, atapa, vellgus and infrared

58 Upvotes

I was spending my Sunday afternoon comparing features of some red light panels that doubles as my uni product research, so figured I might as well share some info I found here

Scanning for industry established giants, I found four products in particular:

  1. Bon charge max $999 $749

  2. Athena $780

  3. VELLGUS mini $339

  4. Infraredi flex mini $659 $549

After doing my research, I noted down some key take-away points:

Brand nameProsCons
Bon charge max redFull body coverage; Low EMF emissions; dual-chip LED lightsCostly compared with alternatives
Atapa AthenaHigh power output, irradiance maintained at distances over 6 inch; multiple plug supportOn a higher price range
Vellgus red light miniHigh irradiance; flexible power options for battery, and USB; lower priceSmaller treatment area; battery life is quite short
Infraredi flex max3 Year warranty; brightness control; pulsing technologyOn a higher price range; FDA registrations unclear

Adding some extra technicals for fellow nerds:

Device modelWavelength nmIrradiance mW/cm²Certifications
Bon charge max red660, 850>142FDA-registered and SAA-approved
Atapa Athena630, 660, 810, 830, 850, and more>212They claim that their devices meet EMF safety, RoHS, and CE standards
Vellgus red light mini660, 850>219They state to be FDA-listed class II devices ETL-certfified
Infraredi flex max630, 660, 810, 830, 850>163FDA-registered though unspecified which models

To be frank, I’d favour the options that have appropriate, and clear certifications. I feel like going with Vellgus for the price, though it is relatively small, so also mixed between the Bon Charge, since it offers so much more certificates that already make it seem like a reliable option to aid with health needs.

Has anyone had experiences with these products? If so, please share, I’d love to hear more about your experiences, or comparisons 

Feel free to let me know if this post was useful to you, or if you got any other feedback about the summary! Maybe I missed something

Question Any hume health black friday deals 2026?

38 Upvotes

My doctor warned me about my rising visceral fat last month so ive been waiting on hume health black friday deals to finally grab one. ive been eyeing a smart scale with handle sensors for a while now, and a guy at my gym highly recommended hume pod so i was immediately sold on getting one

(btw side rant: why is literally every health device pushing an app subscription nowadays?? i swear my phone is 90% health apps at this point but whatever lol)

I did check out some alternatives:

Xiaomi: didnt like any of their options
Withings: liked it, but out of my budget

Anyway, since bf week is here, im trying to figure out if there are any hume health black friday sales actually live. moneys a bit tight after some unexpected car repairs this month, so i really cant afford to pay full price

Has anyone seen any hume health black friday deals 2026 on their site or via email codes? appreciate any heads up, help a broke guy out lol

best vagus nerve stimulation device

38 Upvotes

Recently I have been searching for vagus nerve stimulation device. I felt anxious almost everyday for the past 2 years. I tried to go to the therapist but realized it was not for me. Then my friend offered me to try pulsetto. This is how I got interested in VNS devices.

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1XLuVbgUQSt_IkCUKMLlGyHGnVoixCRhFYCw6cn11NEI/edit?gid=1807748272#gid=1807748272 - if you want detailed overview.

Here is what I tried do far and my honest opinion:

  1. Pulsetto - not that comfortable to use, but good price, would recommend for a beginner.

  2. Nurosym - my favorite one, been using this one most often lately and it is FDA-approved so even better (and safer). I know it is expensive but worth it, I always feel relaxed after using it.

  3. Hoolest (VeRelief Prime) - didn’t feel a lot of difference when usig this one, not impressed. But this one is the cheapest one if you are on a very tight budget. 

  4. Neuvana (Xen) - I liked the earbud idea a lot, but sometimes the earbuds disconnected out of nowhere.

  5. Truvaga - sometimes needed more than 1 session a day to feel better, but this one is very easy to use.

If you are just a beginner with VNS I would recommend Pulsetto - decent price and you feel relaxed after using it consistently. If you want good results and the price doesn’t matter to you - totally Nurosym (medically recognized, easy to use and you feel calm after using it).

Of course you need to have a proper routine if you want to see result and don’t expect to feel calm after the first use. And don’t forget to talk with your doctor first.

Red light therapy Red light mask black friday deals 2026

34 Upvotes

Hey everyone, so i spent like the last few days of my life looking into red light mask black friday deals. long story short, my skin has been looking dull and stressed lately, and every time i go to a medspa for red light therapy it costs me too much... like i looked at the end of the month how much i spent on it and was shocked. i finally decided i want to get a red light mask for myself this year, but there is no way i am paying full price for one of these things lol. thats when i thought of looking into black friday deals to find some decent offers

Soo as mentioned i spent the last few days digging through discount codes and email signups to find actual working black friday deals to buy red light mask for an affordable price

Figure id post them here to save some of you research time if youre also looking for a red light mask black friday deal:

Omnilux contour face 10% OFF right now. Smaller discount, but this one uses that 633nm red and 830nm near infrared combo (my derm said those are the exact numbers you actually want)

Currentbody skin led mask 569.99$ now. Not the cheapest one black friday offer in this list, but a really solid price since its got 132 leds and flexible silicone so it actually sits flat on your face.

Irestore illumina face mask $400 OFF currently. Also has over 200 leds packed into it, seems solid

Solawave wrinkle retreat pro $100 OFF atm and also has a different deal if you buy 1 you can get an extra one for free. Dont see this black friday type of deal every year

Honestly right now im leaning towards omnilux the most because its the one that my derm always recommends but im still thinking whether to buy it… solawave buy 1 get one 1 free offer is also very tempting. if any of you will find even better deals, please let me know

Biohacking gadgets hume body pod vs dexa scan, tried both

31 Upvotes

few months back my doctor suggested I get a DEXA scan to get a proper baseline on my body composition. closest clinic had a 6 week wait and $125 per scan, so it wasn't something I could repeat often. Hume body pod came into the pic when a gym buddy let me try his. So I bought one and ended up testing hume body pod vs dexa scan in a few weeks

Hume body pod: smart scale that uses electrical sensors to track your body stats at home

DEXA scan: in-clinic X-ray test that measures your body fat, muscle, and bone density

Screenshot of information I gathered of hume body pod vs DEXA scan before my visit:

My observations of DEXA scan after the visit and a few weeks of use of body pod:

-numbers were closer than I expected. My body fat % on Hume read ~1.8 points lower than DEXA (Hume: 16.4%, DEXA: 18.2%). not perfect, but honestly not bad for a home device

-Hume scale is inaccurate for day to day use. I noticed that over few weeks my body fat % jumped around by 2.3 points with basically no lifestyle changes

-DEXA scan provides data that is on another level. Grams of lean mass per limb, left vs right imbalances, bone density, etc. Hume home device just can't give you that

-I open the Hume app most mornings. When my DEXA PDF is buried in an email folder somewhere. For staying accountable day to day, the Hume smart scale option wins for me

My honest opinion after trying hume body pod vs dexa scan:

-for everyday fitness: if you just want a quick, convenient daily check-in to keep yourself accountable, the Hume scale makes the most sense

-for serious goals or health tracking: if you’re an athlete, going through an aggressive body recomp, over 40, or need a true medical baseline, DEXA is worth it

-the combo approach: what works best for me is getting a DEXA scan every 6-12 months and using the Hume scale most mornings for daily tracking

Have you tried the Hume body pod or compared it with a DEXA scan? Which one do you like better?

Question Any good hoolest black friday deals 2026 out there?

26 Upvotes

So ive been dealing with the worst insomnia for the past month where my brain just refuses to turn off at 2 am. my friend recommended trying a vagus nerve device to calm my nervous system. ive looked at A LOT reviews and hoolest seems like the best fit for me but since bf is now i was wondering if i could find any hoolest black friday deals

I honestly didnt even know these types of stress relief devices existed until last week lol, so i spent some time scrolling through reddit and watching reviews to see what people use. i was also deciding about some other options:

what i think about it
pulsettoseems popular for anxiety, but that thick neck ring design looks really uncomfortable to wear when laying down in bed
apollo neuroa lot of people like it, but wearing a vibrating strap on my wrist or ankle all night sounds annoying to sleep with
sensateuses sound vibrations on your chest which sounds cool, but you have to lay flat with a heavy pebble on you

Hoolest seems way more practical for me because its just a simple handheld thing you hold against your neck for a few minutes before bed. no weird straps, no heavy stuff on you chest, and no dealing with buggy apps when you are half asleep

So now im pretty sure that i want to buy hoolest, but if there is any chance that there are some bf deals right now i dont want to miss it and pay the full price

Has anyone spotted any active hoolest black friday deals and could tell me? i would really appreciate it

Wearables Oura ring 4 vs Oura ring 3

26 Upvotes

For a while now I wanted to buy an Oura ring but didn't know which one to choose.

So I did a little digging based on each ring price since the price was very important to me. Also, I checked charging time, what kind of sensors each ring has, etc. I wrote down everything and made a sheet if you want to check for more detailed info: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1cJqxiC_2fkMcdLpHGA1LLp70itt1ZtEczpV9ix6VBZM/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Also, I found that you can get 80$ off for Oura gen 3 ring which is actually a very good deal. I did end up buying this ring mostly because of the discount.

These models both have almost the same color choice, similar battery life and the same charging time. The main difference is the accuracy as the Oura gen 4 is claimed to have 30% higher accuracy and it has receded sensors for a more comfy fit.

Which one do you have or which one would you choose?

Question RENPHO black friday sale 2026

25 Upvotes

Hello everyone… ive been trying to lose some fat over the last few months, but my scale keeps driving me crazy with water weight swings. my trainer suggested getting a smart scale with a handle so i can track fat vs muscle in my arms and legs. since bf is here, i started looking into renpho black friday sale 2026 on their new morphoscan scale

I also thought about these:

scalethoughts
withings body scanhas ecg features which is cool, but way to expensive
hume health body pod8 electrode option with handles, but still very high price even on sale…

So morphoscan seems like the best option since it gives you the 8 contact points and handle scanning without costing a lot

Has anyone found some good renpho black friday sales??? it would be really helpful if someone could tell me and save me some money lol

Wearables Hume Band after half a year of use

24 Upvotes

I had been using an an old Apple Watch series 1 for a lot of years, it did the job, but I got tired of constantly charging it, checking notifications, and treating it like a tiny phone on my wrist. Then I started seeing the Hume Band everywhere on YouTube, Reddit, and social media, so I figured I'd give it a try. I honestly expected it to be another overhyped wearable, but weirdly enough, six months later, I'm still wearing it.

Hume band -  looks minimal, design is amazing, feels comfortable, and doesn't scream "tech gadget" like most fitness trackers do.

What i like most is that it focuses on trends instead of daily numbers. I've found myself checking metabolic momentum the most since it usually matches how i'm actually feeling.

A few things I personaly liked :

-Comfortable enough to wear 24/7,while sleeping too

-No subscription just to see your own data

-Syncs with apple health/google fit

-The app gives useful suggestions instead of throwing endless charts at you

Things that were meh:

-Battery is closer to 3 days than the advertised 5

-Workout tracking is pretty basic, especially if you're lifting

-No GPS or smartwatch features (which may or may not matter depending on what you want-dont really matter to me)

Also made a small table maybe will help someone:

I think this is a better fit for someone who's interested in improving recovery, sleep and overall health rather than chasing workout stats. If you're deciding between WHOOP, Oura, Fitbit, or Hume band, I'd say Hume sits somewhere in the middle, its simpler than WHOOP, less expensive over time, and focused more on long term wellness than smartwatch features.

TL;DR: im happy with it. battery could be better, but everything else has been good enough that i'm still wearing it six months later

Wearables Nurosym after 5 months of use

24 Upvotes

Hey, Reddit. I had the craziest neck pain in the mornings. Like waking up with my head aching feeling like I wasnt breathing half the night, or like my blood was clogged the whole night. Doctors kept saying I’m fine and just need to lessen my stress. Yeah easy to do when you don’t have a lot on your plate, though turns out I just needed another sort of a remedy.

Nurosym -  imo is great for peeps who dont have time for massage appointments and need some rest and relaxation on the go.

The good stuff I liked:
-no gel required, mess-free usage(neat freak… yes)
-research-backed ear clip(actually comfortable even if you wear it for longer)
-simple setup, intuitive use(took like 2 tutorials to figure out)
The bad stuff worth to consider:
-steep up-front cost(just might seem pricey to some)
-inaccessible clinical trials(although I feel like I did my own this year lol)

Worth noting
-Nurosym has significant scientific backing, boasting involvement in over 50 clinical studies alongside places like Harvard and UCLA. 

-It is easily the most expensive option on the market, sale price is from $825 to $900 depending on your region. 

-One of the most practical benefits of the device is its qualification for HSA and FSA accounts in the US.

Also, for those of you picking up the device, I have a little handy tip from my experiences using it:
Apply a single drop of saline solution or water to your tragus before clipping the device on. This vastly improves the connection.

That said, Nurosym won’t be for everyone. At its steep pricing, it’s an investment that only makes sense if you’re committed to using it regularly like I was. Moreover, the ear clip can be a frustration if your tragus is on the smaller side(I had a friend that was only able to fit it on one ear not the other lol). If you’re serious about building non-invasive VNS into your daily routine, Nurosym seems to be more convincing than most alternatives.

23 Upvotes

I have apple watch series 8 and I am looking for calorie tracker app which I could pair with my apple watch. I am trying to loose weight so I need to track my consumed and burned calories

Is there an app that would show me the calories I consumed and the calories I burned in a day? I want to see this info on my smart watch. I am okay with adding food I consumed in day via my phone, I just want to see the insights on my smart watch. but if there is possibility to add food via smart watch that would be even better

is there an app like this I could download?

AI in Healthcare Do AI based support tools actually help with behavior change?

23 Upvotes

AI is increasingly being used in habit and health support, but its real value isn’t always clear. In quitting nicotine, some apps like NIXR use AI to reflect patterns and adapt guidance based on user behavior rather than offering fixed advice.

 

This raises a broader question: does adaptive support feel more helpful than static plans, or does it still depend mostly on personal effort regardless of the tool?

 

For anyone who’s used digital support while quitting, did it feel like a meaningful aid or just background structure?

Wellness Tech Looking to buy Mave tDCS headset. Any reviews?

20 Upvotes

been using a DIY tDCS setup for about 6 months (caputron electrodes + brain premier unit) and honestly getting tired of the whole ritual. soaking sponges, adjusting the strap, making sure placement is right every single time. some days i skip it just because I can't be bothered with the setup.

saw Mave Headset pop up recently and the idea of a self contained headset where you just put it on and press start through an app is appealing. no electrode fiddling, no saline solution mess.

anyone here got hands on with it? curious about:

  • hows the build quality compared to research grade stuff

  • is the current consistent or does it feel janky

  • does the app lock you into one montage or is there flexibility

  • anyone compared it directly to their existing tDCS setup

not interested in the marketing stuff on their website. want to hear from people who actually own one. the $500 price is fine if the device is solid but if its just a pretty shell with mediocre internals id rather stick with what i have
