Wakemate 做什么

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.

Personalized alarm clock syncing with sleep cycles

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.

Where do you live now, and where would the company be based after YC?

We live in San Francisco, CA, and plan to keep the company based here after YC.

Explain your decision regarding location.

We live here, the network and talent for consumer electronics startups is strongest around San Francisco, and the proximity to YC makes it practical.
