eir bands FAQs

  • eir bands are patented, modular, wireless, and app-controlled wearable devices that use electrical muscle stimulation (EMS/NMES) to enhance muscle activation, strength, recovery, and interactive experiences. It pairs with VR and mobile applications.

  • They connect to Mobile & VR experiences via Bluetooth technology and deliver controlled electrical impulses that stimulate targeted muscles. When used in real-time with compatible digital environments (like VR or mobile apps), the bands adapt to movements and amplify muscle engagement, improving training outcomes or rehabilitation progress.

  • eir bands support two core applications:

    • Muscle training & performance: Enhance strength, endurance, and muscle activation during workouts or VR fitness sessions.

    • Recovery & Pain Management: Assist recovery, mobility, and pain relief by reducing soreness, stiffness, and tension.

  • eir bands are designed to target specific muscle groups, depending on placement and the selected program, whether used via the mobile app or in VR:

  • eir bands are designed as one wearable for multiple use cases, supporting performance, recovery, and pain management at home.

    At-home physio users

    • Complement home physiotherapy exercises with muscle stimulation

    • Enable consistent practice

    • Easy to use, accessible, and adjustable for individual needs

  • The bands are designed to be configurable and adaptable. Users can attach them where needed, target specific muscles, and integrate them into different setups, whether in VR or mobile.

  • Yes. Besides muscle activation and strengthening, the device supports relief of tension, pain management (via targeted TENS-like modes), and massage-style recovery patterns through specific stimulation programs.

  • eir bands are CE-marked and designed for safe use. However, they should be used according to the instructions provided, including the pad placement.

  • Yes. eir bands are controlled via a companion mobile app that lets you customise stimulation settings, track progress, and tailor sessions to your goals, whether for training, recovery, or therapy. Currently, the mobile app is compatible with Android 13 and higher devices.

  • Yes. eir bands are designed to be used in VR, with EIR Training as the flagship VR fitness experience built specifically for them.

    EIR Training is a VR fitness game developed in collaboration with fitness advisors and personal trainers. It is purpose-designed for eir bands, allowing users to experience haptic-enhanced workouts where electrical muscle stimulation is synchronised with in-game movements. This creates real-time muscle engagement and motion feedback within immersive virtual environments.

  • EIR Training is our flagship VR Fitness game, developed in collaboration with fitness advisors and personal trainers. We designed EIR Training for eir bands. You can experience haptic-enhanced workouts and a diverse range of fitness content.

  • EIR Training is compatible with Meta Quest 2, Quest 3, 3S, and Pro headsets.

  • Stimulation intensity is fully adjustable via the mobile app and during VR calibration before each session.

    Users are guided to gradually increase intensity to a level that feels:

    • Clearly noticeable

    • Comfortable and controlled

    • Strong but not painful

    The sensation is typically described as a rhythmic muscle contraction or pulsing, designed to support movement rather than replace it. Intensity can be adjusted at any time during a session, allowing users to adapt based on comfort, fatigue, or training goals.

  • Yes. eir bands can be used with mobile for muscle training and recovery routines, even if VR is not used.
