Essence Wearables, a project created by Fluid Interfaces alum and research affiliate Judith Amores, with collaborators Mae Dotan, Artem Dementyev, Javier Hernandez, and Yanan Wang, has won a bronze 2021 Edison Award under the Personal Technology: Design Enhancements category.

Essence Wearables release short bursts of fragrance based on physiological signals such as heart rate and respiration rate. These devices connect to a smartphone app that controls the choice, intensity, and frequency of the scent delivery. These wearable devices are personal, lightweight, and can improve wellbeing.
