Many AI-Integrated Wearables to Help Insomniacs Introduced at CES 2024.
While technology can sometimes lead to insomnia, can it also help people achieve better sleep? Attendees can find the answer at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2024, held from January 9 to 12 in Las Vegas, USA, where numerous companies are showcasing products designed to assist those who frequently struggle with sleep issues.
Brainband Sleep Aid Ring.
At CES 2024, the American technology company Earable Neuroscience introduced the Brainband, a sleep-supporting wearable that utilizes artificial intelligence (AI).
This product features a crown-like design, equipped with gold-plated sensors capable of real-time analysis of brain activity.
Additionally, based on user needs, the Brainband can play music, meditation tracks, or white noise to help users achieve a relaxed state before sleep. The device is currently priced at 500 USD.
Kimi Doan, the investment director at Earable Neuroscience, emphasized that this is the world’s first AI-integrated wearable designed to monitor and support brain activities to improve sleep, focus, and relaxation.
She noted that this device also helps users avoid waking up during the night and enables them to quickly return to sleep.
Meanwhile, the technology company PranaQ from Taiwan introduced the TipTraQ, a unique AI-integrated sensor device.
This biometric sensor is worn on the fingertip each night during sleep. Weighing approximately 3 grams, the TipTraQ measures breathing and heart rate, analyzing this data using AI algorithms.
Users can access this data to understand their sleep patterns and interact with an AI chatbot specifically trained in scientific research.
PranaQ hopes that regulators will soon approve the TipTraQ as a device for monitoring sleep apnea, a common cause of snoring. The company plans to launch the TipTraQ in April at a price of 200 USD.
To assist those who frequently struggle with sleep due to stress, the Belgian startup Moonbird designed the Moonbird handheld device to make falling asleep easier.
The device expands in the user’s hand when they inhale and contracts when they exhale. This exercise encourages users to breathe slowly and focus on each movement, thereby helping to balance the nervous system.
The device also includes a sensor placed at the thumb to monitor heart rate. According to Michael Broes, co-founder of Moonbird, this breathing exercise will help users control their breathing and heart rate, which are key factors in reducing stress.
The Moonbird is priced at 200 USD.
Workers Fatigued by Lack of Sleep Cost Companies Billions According to statistics from the Sleep Foundation, nearly 33% of adults in the US sleep less than 7 hours per night, which is the minimum recommended by health experts to avoid increasing the risk of heart disease or obesity. The Foundation also estimates that American companies lose approximately 136.4 billion USD annually due to employee fatigue. |
