Intelligent Sleep Shades

The Naptime Smart Eyeshade Uses EEG Technology

— December 27, 2016 — Tech
In a time of constant connectivity, getting a good stretch of shut eye can be exceedingly difficult, but the Naptime smart eyeshade is using technology to help people's sleeps rather than hinder them. Far more than just a blind for sleeping without letting in light, the Naptime smart eyeshade uses EEG technology to ensure that users not only fall asleep, but feel better rested when they awake.

Naptime connects to a small device embedded in the eyeshade and to one's smartphone. Through the user's smartphone and headphones, Naptime plays music that is carefully selected to be as calming as possible. Once the user has fallen asleep, the shade will switch to white noise. Then, when the EEG sense that the user is in a light sleep phase, it will wake them up by switching back to music.
Trend Themes
1. Smart Sleep Aids - The integration of EEG technology in sleep aids presents opportunities for developing more intelligent solutions for restful sleep.
2. Individualized Sleep Solutions - Sleep technology that communicates with a person's smartphone opens the doorway to personalized, data-driven solutions
3. Neurotechnology and Sleep - The innovative use of EEG technology in sleep technology helps promote better sleep patterns and improved health outcomes.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - Companies that produce sleep technology or EEG headbands can integrate the Naptime EEG technology into their products for a more personalized sleep experience.
2. Health and Wellness - Clinics and health professionals can use EEG headbands in their sleep therapy to collect data, track patterns, and improve patient outcomes.
3. Hospitality - Hotels and resorts can use the Naptime eyeshade as a value-added amenity to attract guests looking for restful sleep environments.
