WITHINGS AURA ACTIVE SLEEP SYSTEM

A new kind of sleep tracker at CES 2014

If you’ve never experienced insomnia, you might be a koala (fun fact: they sleep for up to 22 hours a day – lucky guys!).

For the others, don’t worry, Withings has a brand new solution: a smart device that lives near and under your bed!

Sleep trackers are usually wrist-worn devices but not this time! Clear a space for Withings Aura because it combines an under-the-mattress sensor and a bedside clock device to both monitor and improve sleep patterns.

The under-the-mattress sensor pad measures motion, including heart rate, breathing, and body movement. The bedside device senses noise pollution, lighting and room temperature. The bedside part also acts as a combination clock and audio/visual stimulation system, using colored light and sound programs to synchronize with anticipated sleep and wake cycles.

As a little bonus, the Aura’s bedside device is also a Bluetooth speaker.

Obviously, the Aura pairs with your phone, working with Withings’ connected app ecosystem of blood pressure monitors, scales and fitness trackers.
