Integrated heart rate monitor and full LCD screen for ease of use

The Sense features an onboard heart rate monitor which helps aide in guided breathwork exercises. A full size LCD screen was integrated onto the smaller form factor device to retain user experience when navigating functions.

A new wellness design language

The goal of the Sense product was to translate the existing Theragun technology and add unique features and an updated design language to create a flagship product offering in their newly established wellness category. A new soft and continuous design language emphasizes a smooth monolthic form that is soft in all directions. A premium CMF was developed that utilizes soft touch finishes and warm metals for a calming aesthetic.
