(never smoke, get tempted by food cravings, hit the snooze button, watch TV, sit too long, gamble...ever again)
Pavlok is a wearable device that helps users reduce cravings and break bad habits.
Pavlok utilizes Pavlovian conditioning --- it releases a mild electric stimulus while users do bad habits. It can be triggered automatically (via a smart phone) or manually (by pressing a button).
Simply press the button whenever you are in a tempting situation. I used it last night at a dinner event --- wine was plentiful, but I simply zapped myself 5-10 times while looking at and smelling the wine, and the flavor became acrid. (I later found out it was a $500 bottle of wine I wouldn't be able to enjoy!)
