Tech for Wellness Month: Gadgets That Keep You Safe, Glowing, and Stress-Free
Wellness looks a little different these days. It’s not just green juice, meditation apps, or your morning Pilates class—technology has officially entered the chat. From devices that make sure you’re safe walking home at night to a lunchbox that literally cleans itself (yes, really), tech is giving “self-care” a serious upgrade.
This Tech for Wellness Month, I rounded up a few of my favorite innovations that make staying healthy, safe, and balanced easier than ever.
🛡 Aster Personal Safety Button
💸 Under $25 | Subscription $9.99/month or $99.99/year | Learn more
When it comes to peace of mind, Aster is a game-changer. It turns your smartphone into a personal safety device—without draining your battery or making you fumble with apps in the moment.
Here’s why I love it: you can hold the “Hold Until Safe” button or slide from the home screen to instantly send your GPS location to emergency services and trusted contacts. Don’t want to reach for your phone? The Always-On Button (which comes free with subscriptions) is a tiny, discreet fob for your keys or wallet. Press it three times and help is on the way—no app needed.
It even lets you schedule check-ins based on your calendar. Forget to tap that you’re okay after an event? Aster automatically alerts loved ones or emergency services. It’s like having a safety net in your pocket, all the time.
🍱 UVI Smart Lunchbox
💸 $97.95 | Shop here
Lunch just got smarter. The UVI self-heating, self-cleaning lunchbox is perfect if you’re tired of cold leftovers or questionable microwaves at the office. Pop in your refrigerated meal, and in 25 minutes it’s hot and ready.
But here’s the really cool part: UVI uses built-in UV light to sanitize itself, killing up to 99% of bacteria and viruses. Translation? No funky odors. No endless scrubbing. Just clean, warm food on the go.
It’s insulated (stays warm up to 2 hours without power), portable, and comes in fun colors like salmon, yellow, and green. If you commute, picnic, or just want to level up lunch—this is it.
✨ Jung Beauty Brightening Microcurrent Mask
💸 $68 | Shop here
Think of this as a workout for your face—minus the sweat. Jung Beauty’s Brightening Microcurrent Mask combines advanced skincare with microcurrent tech to visibly brighten and firm skin while deeply hydrating.
The science is impressive: one use boosts skin brightness by nearly 3%. After two weeks, melanin is reduced by 14% and pigmentation by 9%. Packed with Niacinamide and Rice Bran Extract, it hydrates 14 layers deep while gentle microcurrents stimulate collagen and elastin for smoother, younger-looking skin.
And because we love a deal: it’s currently 15% off for Jung Beauty’s 5th birthday celebration (until August 22). Glow goals, achieved.
🔥 Hyperice Venom Go
💸 $129 | Shop here
For sore muscles that won’t quit, meet your new BFF: the Hyperice Venom Go. This wearable device combines heat and vibration therapy in a sleek, portable package under half a pound.
It’s simple: place the magnetic pod onto a reusable pad (stick it anywhere—shoulders, lower back, quads) and choose from 9 heat and vibration combos. The relief is almost instant.
Hyperice is a trusted name in recovery tech (their Normatec compression boots are loved by pro athletes and weekend warriors alike). Fun fact: early product feedback came from Kobe Bryant himself. If it’s good enough for him, I’m in.
Wellness is personal, but it doesn’t have to be complicated. Whether it’s feeling safer on your evening walk, eating cleaner at work, leveling up your skincare, or easing sore muscles, these gadgets prove that tech and wellness are the ultimate power couple.
So go ahead—let your gadgets take care of you for once.
