We have all experienced neck pain or soreness after sitting at our computers or looking down at our cell phones for long periods. How to stay cool and keep warm in a smart way?

LanyardWarmer is a light-weighted, subtle gadget to soothe your neck discomfort, relieve neck stiffness, and warm you up in a chilly environment. The first-of-its-kind soft and ductile heat-conductive smart textile is seamlessly made with recycled polyester yarn from PET bottle waste and silver-coated conductive yarn to generate heat energy from resistance once plugged to a power bank and give a gentle sensation like the skin under the sunshine. It warms your neck and chest in giving a heartwarming touch.

The pleasurable warmth can be adjusted by a smartphone app with 5 heat-setting levels and a 15/30/60-minute timer. The warmth applied to the neck can dilate blood vessels,
which increases blood flow. Better blood circulation would soothe discomfort and increase muscle flexibility.

The LanyardWarmer features a safety release clip and a swivel thumb hook to hold the seamless battery carrier together with ID badge, keys, or name tag. The stretchable battery carrier is seamlessly tailored to minimize the weight and bulkiness for holding the control and the ultra-slim power bank, which weighs only 61g.

LanyardWarmer is your heartwarming gadget in a subtle and smart way.
