Sleepace’s RestOn is joining (via Indiegogo) the smart sleep market with a non-wearable device that works in a similar fashion to the Beddit Sleep Monitor. It is designed to be placed under the sheet, while the magnetic lid fixes it to the bed, and turns it on automatically.
The companion app rewards users with points based on how well they slept, and provides them with advice on how to sleep better.“RestOn’s innovative structure embeds a 2-foot long medical-grade sensor into a less than 2 mm thin belt, and can be placed right under your chest area during sleep,” the device’s Indiegogo page reads. “Its accuracy is reinforced by the sensor’s advanced sensitivity, extra-large impact area and close proximity to your vitals.”
RestOn also utilizes various algorithms to ensure that each set of data is clearly distinguished and analyzed. These data sets include heart rate, respiratory rate and how restless users were during the night.
Of course, there’s also a companion app that rewards users with points based on how well they slept. The application also provides advice on how to sleep better, for instance making the room darker and cooler. In addition, there’s the ability to share the sleep data with other people, with future updates promising to include integration with Apple’s HealthKit, Google Fit and Microsoft Health.
RestOn has already managed to surpass its funding goal of $50,000. A single device could pre-ordered for $99 with shipments starting in February 2015.
