So, do you have a bad habit habit you want to break? Say, you eat too much sugar? Bite your nails? Or another habit you’d like to kick? Boy, do we have some shocking news for you. Pavlok is here to help.
Pavlok is a behavior modification tool that gives you a 340 volt shock when you fail to modify your behavior. Too many cookies? BZZZZT! Too much caffeine? BZZZT! I think you see the pattern here. Careful application of the corrective shock is supposed to cure habits in 5 days.
The medieval torture bracelet is coupled with an app for your favorite device, and together work to keep your actions in line. Pavlok can respond to a variety of sensors, or you can just go ahead and press the pain button when you’ve been bad. According to the website, manual triggering is just as effective as app or sensor input, so maybe you can be your own judge and executioner (of pain). And just imagine how much fun you could be at parties, especially if someone else has control of your app (I’m pretty sure there is a scientific study in there somewhere).
But for now, if you are trying to break a bad habit, maybe a little shock therapy will help you get there.
