A hands-free device that offers targeted heat therapy for jaw pain to provide users a moment of relief without impacting daily tasks.

Bohne is an empathic response to users who suffer from Chronic Temporomandibular Joint disorders - TMJ/D for short or Jaw pain for simplicity. While there are many factors that play a role in these disorders it can be difficult to narrow down the cause of this pain and users who suffer for pain over 2 years often experience pain and frustration at the limited relief options available. This solution is designed as a touchpoint of pain relief along the journey to diagnosis and recovery. Each user's experience is unique and pain can be felt in a variety of ways and locations, thus multiple adjustment opportunities allow for the user to target their pain areas as accurately as possible.

The dual heating pad system is designed to offer discreet pain relief by mimicking the form notes of headphones. The pods are removable from the headset so that they can be recharged in a case, making it convenient to carry them on your person and use whenever pain flares up, without impeding your ability to perform tasks.
