276: Intimacy Wearables: Health and Wellness - with Elliot Justin

The Innovation Journey

Elliot Justin, an emergency physician, was inspired to explore sexual health and rehabilitation techniques following a horseback riding accident in 2015. He experimented with neuromodulation and other methods to address gaps in existing tools and treatments, which led to advancements in intimacy wearables.

The Link Between Sexual and Cardiovascular Health

Research indicates a strong connection between sexual and cardiovascular health: Men who experience fewer than one nocturnal erection per night have a 50% chance of having a heart attack within two years. Additionally, 88% of men who suffer strokes report experiencing erectile dysfunction (ED) in the three months before the stroke. The medical field often treats the symptoms of ED instead of addressing underlying cardiovascular or systemic health issues.

Modernizing the Cock Ring

Traditional cock rings are often stigmatized and uncomfortable. To address these issues, Elliot Justin developed a modernized version that is comfortable even when flaccid. This device increases erection hardness, duration, and orgasm intensity. Clinical studies have shown that this device is comparable to Cialis in maintaining erections while enhancing orgasm quality.

Tech Ring and Data-Driven Approach

The tech ring collects and analyzes sexual health data. This includes tracking frequency, duration, and quality of nocturnal erections, as well as monitoring performance during intercourse. It provides personalized insights to assess the impact of treatments. The data is anonymized, securely stored, and HIPAA-compliant to ensure user confidentiality.
