Cosa fa Wakemate

WakeMate makes personalized alarm clocks that sync with both a user's body and their cell phone, enabling the iPhone alarm system to sound at the end of a REM cycle. The application/ wristband system also provides a full sleep analysis on their Analytics Platform. The WakeMate uses a science called actigraphy to analyze your sleep. Actigraphy uses an actigraph (the WakeMate unit) placed on a subjectâ€™s wrist to monitor the motion. The motion data is then analyzed to determine sleep patterns and circadian rhythms of the subject. WakeMate was funded by the startup incubator Y Combinator.

What is your company going to make? Please describe your product and what it does or will do.

We're building the WakeMate, a wrist-worn device that tracks your sleep patterns using actigraphy and syncs with your cell phone to sound an alarm at the optimal time - usually at the end of your REM cycle. It also provides detailed sleep analytics on our platform, helping users understand and improve their rest.
