Chinese start-up MindGalaxy has introduced a wearable designed to support menstrual comfort through synchronised microcurrent stimulation, aromatherapy and immersive relaxing audio.

The Dreame ecosystem partner has developed the brain-computer interface used in UnaBand and UnaBand Pro. The Pro version has EEG acquisition technology that will enable real-time brain-state analysis and adaptive stimulation.

The device is described as a new direction for femtech, moving beyond pharmaceuticals and passive heat methods towards a more personalised, neuroscience-driven approach to menstrual wellness.

More than 1.4 billion women experience menstrual pain every month, while the global market for period comfort products is estimated at nearly $4.7bn. Yet most existing products remain limited to medication with potential side effects or traditional physical methods that provide only temporary comfort.

“I’m not going to pretend I fully understand menstrual pain,” said Huang Helong, president of MindGalaxy, who brings more than 14 years of experience in med-tech investment and management. “But I do understand that technology should work with both the brain and the body. That philosophy is at the core of UnaBand.”

UnaBand combines three synchronised mechanisms intended to support physical comfort and emotional regulation:

• Microcurrent stimulation delivered through aromatherapy mist electrodes, which transform essential oils into a fine mist while delivering targeted pulses to the prefrontal cortex.
• Aromatherapy uses interchangeable fragrance cartridges, including lavender, rose, citrus and unscented options.
• Immersive relaxing audio plays through built-in surround-sound speakers designed to support relaxation of the central nervous system.

All functions are managed through a dedicated companion app, where users can monitor stimulation settings, audio playback, fragrance modes and additional real-time data. The app also includes a personalised Brain Spa mode tailored for menstrual comfort and stress support.

MindGalaxy said it would begin accepting pre-orders for UnaBand from next month.

Unlike traditional medical wearables, UnaBand was designed as a lifestyle accessory rather than a clinical device. Featuring a minimalist silhouette, premium finishes and dopamine-inspired colour palettes, the product is said to reflect a broader trend towards consumer-friendly wellness technology.

“UnaBand is designed to be seen, not hidden,” Helong said. “It doesn’t look like a medical device – it feels more like a personal accessory.”

The UnaBand Pro EEG sensing capabilities create a closed-loop system that combines brainwave monitoring with adaptive stimulation and feedback.

According to the company, the upgraded companion app will allow users to visualise physiological responses and better understand how different forms of stimulation affect mood and comfort over time.

Founded in January this year and headquartered in Shenzhen, China, MindGalaxy develops wearable neuroscience technologies focused on smart healthcare, rehabilitation and intelligent human-machine interaction.
