The Pavlok Pro, or Pavlok 2, is a wearable device that delivers a mild electrical stimulus to help you reduce your unnecessary cravings and break bad habits. Such habits include smoking, nail biting, hair pulling, negative thinking, or anything else that negatively affects you.
The site claims to train the brain with these small doses of energy and break bad habits within a maximum of 30 days. In this way, an objectively bad habit is transformed into improved productivity and consequently an improved life.
According to the company, the Pavlok Pro has helped more than 50,000 users of the device. The question now is whether Pavlovian conditioning is the only way to keep the user from going astray, or if it is possible to stay loyal to the process in other ways.
The process is named after Ivan Pavlov, a Russian physiologist, who noticed that the dogs in his laboratory began to associate the presence of his lab assistant with their food, causing them to salivate. He then began to ring a bell every time the dogs were fed, so they associated the sound with food. Eventually, he could ring the bell without providing them with food, and the dogs would still salivate.
The Pavlok Pro wearable is something like a physiologist's bell. Over time, the user will begin to associate a thought or action with a negative stimulus because it causes them pain.
The Pavlok Pro wearable is a wearable device that consists of a bracelet and a module. It is one size. It also has a rechargeable battery, Bluetooth and electronic sensors.
Once specific gestures are detected, the Pavlok Pro can vibrate, speak, or even shock you with up to 340 volts of electricity to create the negative association.
Additionally, Pavlok Pro features a Productivity Chrome Extensionthat helps you set goals and avoid unnecessary site visits. It also goes into sleep mode when not in use to preserve battery life. It easily connects via Bluetooth LE to iOS and Android.
The app includes a remote control that allows you to control the Pavlok Pro with your phone, set automatic shock options, and even give other people the opportunity to send you.
Based on over 800 reviews across iTunes and Google Play, the Pavlok Pro app had an average rating of around 3.8/5.
Several critics of the wearable have expressed concern that it lacks clinical support, even though CEO Maneesh Sethi has repeatedly highlighted the thousands of customer responses and testimonials it has received. The company’s website lists a small study of eight people at the University of Massachusetts Boston that found that within ten days, six of the eight people were smoke-free (75%). The remaining 25% cut their daily cigarette consumption by more than half.
To be sure that Pavlok Pro will work for you, the only way is to try it. Besides, with a 6-month money-back guarantee, you are fully covered.
