With all of the devices the maker of smart products and apps creates, it is only natural that it would design something that encourages "a little shut-eye between all that activity," as noted by The Verge.
The Withings Aura kit is comprised of a small pad that is meant to be placed under a pillow and a futuristic-looking light. The pad is senses people's physiological state while sleeping including heart rate, movements and breathing. It sends that data to the light, which responds with certain sounds, colors and more for optimal sleeping habits. Withings Aura could change people's lives.
