Sense: smart alarm clock, sleep quality tracker and air quality analyzer

Not so long ago , a very interesting article was published on Habré on how to ensure a peaceful and healthy sleep. In general, there are more and more people who are accustomed to sleep a little and work a lot. But all this is fraught with health problems, reduced working capacity and all the rest.

It is necessary to get enough sleep, if not 8 hours, but at least 6 hours, which may be enough for an adult. And these 6 hours should be calm. Then, getting up in the morning, the person will not feel as if he was working all night and not sleeping. Track the quality of sleep and make the awakening almost painless to help smart device Sense. This is a whole system, the main task of which is to monitor the quality of the owner’s sleep, and determine the optimal moment for awakening.

Functionality and design

The system looks futuristic, the developers have tried their best. The system consists of two functional parts: the Sleep Pill sleep quality detector and the Sense base.



The system is available in two colors:

Sleep quality assessment

The detector, a very small size, is attached with a clip to the pillow, and monitors the activity of a person during sleep (coups, talking in a dream, and everything else). Inside the Sleep Pill is a 6-axis gyro that captures the slightest movement of a person. Data is transmitted to the base via Bluetooth Low Energy and ANT.

In addition, the Sleep Pill captures and extraneous factors that somehow affect the quality of our sleep.

For example, looking at the statistics offered by the device in the morning, you can immediately understand that at 3.15 we were awakened by a truck passing by, roaring like a squadron of fighters (the truck passes every day at this particular time). And then it is clear that the bedroom is desirable to soundproof.



The developers claim that the system knows everything about the quality of your sleep. In order to pass on their “knowledge” in a human-readable form, the system evaluates the owner's sleep on a 100-point scale, giving out a rating in the morning.



The assessment includes many factors: the illumination of the bedroom, temperature and humidity, sound sources and everything else.

Smart alarm clock

In general, the fact that it is easiest for us to wake up during a certain phase of sleep is known to physicians (and not only them) for a long time. An ordinary alarm clock pulls us out of Morpheus’s arms at any time. Of course, waking up can be very painful, and interrupting the deep sleep phase can negatively affect a person’s well-being for a whole day.



Sense - a system equipped with a smart alarm module. The system “understands” what phase of sleep a person is in, and if, for example, it is necessary to get up at 9.30, and a person is in the “easy” phase at 9.15, when it is easiest to wake up, then the alarm will work at that particular time (of course, no later ). An hour and a half before the alarm, the alarm will not work either, and you should not worry about it.

Device characteristics

The developers have provided a large number of sensors and detectors:

• Illumination level detector. We know that the bedroom should be dark, and the system also knows this, and tries to assess the level of illumination of the bedroom, including its rating in the total score;
• Temperature and humidity sensor;
• The determinant of the presence of dust in the air. According to the developers, the detector works both on the fine and coarse dust (numerical values, unfortunately, are not given). The system can determine if there is any pollen in the air, for example, and report it to the owner;
• WiFi module;
• Motion Sensor. The alarm clock can be stopped by simply raising a hand to the system, no need to press any buttons;
• Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE);
• ANT module;
• Microphone and speakers;
• LEDs.

Control

You can control the device from a smartphone on iOS or Android OS. The alarm is turned off by simply placing a hand to the system.

Price

Now the device can be pre-ordered from developers for $ 99 (the total price of the system will be $ 129). In Russia, leave a request for notification of the receipt of the device can be at Medgadgets .
