The project combines Pilotfish’s design expertise with Cerebra’s proprietary Odds Ratio Product (ORP) sleep depth, IDUN’s leading in-ear brain interface technology to create a platform for consumers to understand and improve their sleep on an individual level.

The project is a first as IDUN in-ear technology makes direct, lab-quality analysis of sleep comfortable and broadly accessible. Cerebra’s patented ORP technology leverages this information, moving beyond conventional scoring methods to dig deeper into brain activity during sleep. The resulting consumer application analyses this uniquely high-quality sleep data to provide personalised and adaptive feedback on improving sleep quality.

“Here we have excellent software and technology that has a huge potential to provide better sleep and lives for many people with sleep disorders,” says Marc Nagel, Managing Director of Pilotfish.

“We are looking forward to tackling our part: the enormous design challenge to create a device that is comfortable to wear overnight, and that disappears from the mind to let the user have sweet dreams.”
