Sleepal® AI 램프

Sleep quality is greatly affected by the surrounding environment (light, noise, temperature, and humidity), but it is difficult for individuals to control everything manually, and sleep trackers are cumbersome to wear. Existing methods measured sleep with smartwatches or mattress sensors, but these required wearing devices or were difficult to install. Additionally, multiple devices were needed to improve the sleep environment, which was inconvenient.

The Sleepal AI lamp simultaneously performs non-contact sleep monitoring and environmental control with just one lamp next to the bed. It has built-in mmWave radar, heat detection, and a microphone to sense a person's movements, breathing, snoring, etc., and also measures the temperature and humidity in the room [30].

AI analyzes the data and automatically sets a customized environment, such as adjusting the illuminance and color temperature when the user falls into a deep sleep, and playing meditation sounds to aid relaxation. In the morning, it wakes you up naturally with gradually brightening light, and it is so precise that it can distinguish the sleep of each individual even in a room where several people sleep together, providing insights [30]. It is unique in that it is an all-in-one solution that integrates existing sleep trackers and environment controllers.

Individual consumers (B2C) who suffer from insomnia or want to improve their sleep quality can purchase it directly. In addition, the hotel industry (B2B) can introduce it for premium rooms to enhance the accommodation experience.

As the global sleep tech market grows, Sleepal has great opportunities in the intersection of home health and smart homes. It is already compatible with smart home standards such as HomeKit, making it possible to be incorporated into the Apple ecosystem [31], and there is potential for application in the silver market by adding elderly care functions (such as nighttime fall detection) in the future.

However, securing consumer trust (proving accuracy) and the relatively high price of the lamp are key to popularization.

Initial evaluations are positive, as evidenced by the CES Innovation Award, and media outlets such as Tom's Guide have also noted it as a sleep tracker with a fresh approach. The sensor fusion technology, which has been researched and developed for three years, has been well-received, but on the other hand, there is a reviewer's opinion that "the effect is still questionable," creating an atmosphere that calls for real-world reviews rather than excessive advertising.

Overall, the concept and implementation are both good, but market verification is just beginning.
