University of Massachusetts Amherst researchers and scientists at Embr Labs, a Boston-based start-up, have developed an AI-driven algorithm that can accurately predict nearly 70% of hot flashes before they’re perceived. The work, featured in the journal Psychophysiology, will be incorporated into the Embr Wave, a wearable wrist device clinically proven to manage hot flashes. In the U.S. alone, an estimated 1.3 million women transition into menopause annually, and 80% of women experience hot flashes — sudden feelings of intense heat, often radiating in the upper body. Most hot flashes occur during this transition, but half of women experience them for 7 years or more. The physiological response had, for decades, been considered more of a nuisance than a treatable condition by medical professionals. However, recent research has linked hot flash severity and related sleep disturbances to risk of cardiovascular disease. “Hot flashes have been dramatically overlooked,” says Matt Smith, co-f
