Joining the number of devices that promise to help us get a better night sleep is a smart pillow called Chrona. Unlike most competing products, this one will go beyond simple tracking and try to “actually do something about it.” The device, which works in tandem with a companion app, is now live on the crowdfunding site Kickstarter, looking to raise $50,000.

Chrona is a thin memory foam pillow, designed to sit on top of your regular pillow and track your sleep with a built-in accelerometer. The data it gathers is wirelessly synced with a connected smartphone to provide users with key details on their sleeping habits.

The same speakers that keep users asleep during the night are used to help users transition back to consciousness in the morning.On top of that — and this is where it gets really interesting — the pillow has integrated speakers that emit “slow, low-frequency noises that are relaxing,” so that Chrona owners can get better-quality rest.

Apparently, this sort of low-frequency sound may be good for sleep, and Chrona is pursuing its own study in partnership with the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis.

Chrona also promises to out-smart “smart alarm” apps. Left alone, these apps can wake up users before their alarm is set to go off, robbing them of up to 45 minutes of precious sleep. The same speakers that keep users asleep during the night are used to help users transition back to consciousness in the morning. Fifteen to 20 minutes before the alarm time, the pillow will emit fast, high-frequency noises to move users into a lighter state of sleep, without necessarily waking them up. An alarm will kick-in at the end for the final wake-up.

As for people who share a bed – they don’t have to worry about Chrona disrupting their partner’s rest. “Even if your partner does not have Chrona and you have one, the sounds are so low in volume that they probably won’t hear it,” Chrona’s co-founder and vice president, Ben Bronsther, told The Huffington Post. “But even if your bedmate’s ears are particularly keen, the noises might help improve their sleep too,” he added.

Chrona’s suggested retail price will be $170; in the meantime, users can pre-order their unit for $120 through Kickstarter.
