The development of a \u201crevolutionary\u201d bracelet that helps manage a key menopause symptom has been led by a Co Offaly man.<\/p>\n

The MyCelsius bracelet is worn like a wrist watch and is now on the Irish market.<\/p>\n

It works by cooling the user\u2019s wrist by 10C in under 10 seconds and aims to reduce the discomfort caused by hot flushes.<\/p>\n

The technology was co-developed by 33-year-old Offaly native Aonghus O\u2019Donovan, who said the bracelet has an 80pc efficacy rate for women experiencing hot flushes.<\/p>\n

He co-developed it alongside MyCelsius co-founder and CEO Maxime Kryvian.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe wrist is one of the most thermally sensitive parts of your body and applying cold to it sends a signal to the hypothalamus (the body\u2019s thermostat), to stop the sweating and flushing associated with a hot flush,\u201d Mr O\u2019Donovan said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt uses advanced thermo-electric cooling to create a soothing, cold sensation directly onto the wrist. By lowering local skin temperature, it helps the full body feel cooler in moments of sudden heat.\u201d<\/p>\n

The bracelet also aims to counteract uncomfortable heat caused by hormonal changes, stress or anxiety.<\/p>\n

Three years of research have been put into the device. Mr O\u2019Donovan said it had a cooling system five times more powerful than competitors.<\/p>\n

Hot flushes are described as an intense heat, originating in the torso and moving upwards into the neck and chest.<\/p>\n

They can be accompanied by sweating and flushing of the skin, palpitations and feelings of anxiety, and can occur several times a day.<\/p>\n

A survey carried out by treatment provider The Menopause Hub found that nearly four in 10 women in Ireland have considered quitting their job due to menopause symptoms.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Aonghus O’Donovan, the co-developer of the MyCelsius bracelet.
