(Editor’s note: This is another installment in an ongoing series about how digital toys and tools can help your life beyond the securities trading realm. In this case, we explore a smart bed with sleep-monitoring equipment. Given our current state of affairs, proper rest has become a necessity.)
A bedmaker of renown, Beautyrest wants to help you get a better sense of what you do while you rest via the Beautyrest Sleeptracker monitor, “a patented sleep monitoring system that pairs with any mattress or foundation, allowing individuals to make their bed a smart bed.”
The “non-invasive” device is a stand-alone solution to review a range of factors that impact “high-quality sleep for two individuals simultaneously,” Beautyrest officials say.
The monitor offers end-users an in-depth analysis of “current behaviors, comparisons to biometrical similar users and personalized tips to help them perform better every day,” officials say. “By analyzing a variety of sleep variables, it also provides personalized recommendations and expert insights designed to improve daily performance. While everyone has an individual definition of what performance means, the Beautyrest Sleeptracker monitor enables users to get the optimal sleep necessary to accomplish whatever may come in the day ahead — whether that is a full day at the office, managing a complex family schedule or even running a marathon.”
Some of the key aspects of the Beautyrest Sleeptracker are:
- The capability to monitor sleep patterns of two individual sleepers “simultaneously due to an advanced AI engine;”
- The wearables “must be worn on the body and charged regularly;”
- A system to measure respiration and heart rate for deeper sleep analysis because “wrist-worn wearables can’t monitor the essential respiration vital sign and are notoriously inaccurate for continuous heart rate monitoring;”
- Automatic monitoring of sleep data “when users fall asleep unexpectedly;”
- The system pairs with the Sleeptracker iOS and Android smartphone app to offer an users with “a minute-by-minute snapshot of their journey through each sleep cycle: light sleep, deep sleep and REM;”
- It features a “Sleep Cycle Alarm” to detect a light stage of sleep “in order to wake users at the ideal time in their sleep cycle;”
- It works with an “AI Sleep Coach that monitors improvement over time and provides effective, easy-to-implement, personal sleep tips based on a comprehensive analysis of individual sleep patterns and external factors that may impact sleep quality;”
- And integration with Amazon Echo and other “smart home elements from a single device, such as thermostats, lights, music, alarm systems, door locks and more.”
The artificial intelligence (AI) engine of the Sleeptracker “represents a dramatic improvement over other sleep monitoring devices, and is the result of significant 
resources invested in research and development,” says Arthur Kinsolving, chief technology officer (CTO) of Fullpower Technologies, a technology partner with Beautyrest. “With the power of AI and machine learning, the Beautyrest Sleeptracker monitor will continue to stretch its lead and deliver unprecedented deep insights into consumers’ sleep patterns.”
The Beautyrest Sleeptracker monitor is compatible with all mattresses and foundations but results may vary depending on the type of mattress and foundation used, officials say.
The Sleeptracker is available on Amazon.com for $199, officials say. In addition, the Sleeptracker app can be downloaded on the App Store and Google Play. The Beautyrest.com website has more information.
