Most people associate the Consumer Electronics Show, held annually each January in Las Vegas, with the latest in high-tech televisions, new laptops and home audio gear.  A growing part of CES each year are tech items in the personal wellness space.  Included in the wellness category are items related to improving sleep and reducing snoring.  Several companies introduced new items at CES that we’re very excited to see and test.

A sleep tech startup dubbed PranaQ will debut its TipTraQ artificial intelligence (AI) sleep monitoring device at this year’s CES tradeshow.

According to its developers, the TipTraQ is a lightweight, comfortable-to-wear device that is worn on a finger. With its anti-slip strap, the device comfortably attaches to the body so that it can diagnose and monitor respiratory sleep disorders — like sleep apnea.  In addition, the TipTraQ device analyzes the wearer’s sleep trends via real-time tracking and even offers a personalized sleep coaching program powered by GenAI. Likewise, the technology uses the wearer’s data to make recommendations and treatment suggestions.

Chinese startup Motion Pillow has introduced a new pillow powered by artificial intelligence to reduce snoring. The Motion Pillow employs AI technology to provide users with a superior night’s sleep. The AI Motion System within the pillow identifies instances of snoring and strategically inflates airbags to lift the user’s head, thereby opening the airway and reducing snoring. Complementing this innovation, an accompanying app records sleep data, including snoring duration, airbag operation time, sleep score, overall sleep duration, and even archives recordings of snoring for later playback.

Sleep technology company, The DeRUCCI Group, launched a whole new line of sleep health technologies at CES 2024, including award-winning smart mattresses, anti-snore pillows, intelligent height adjustable pillows, intelligent voice control panels, curtain tracks, and other smart IoT sleep solutions to help people have a healthier sleep and reduce health risks from snoring. 

A pioneer in the sleep industry, DeRUCCI has worked to create products that enhance sleep quality and promote good health. Among the products introduced by DeRUCCI  during CES 2024 are:

• Smart Mattresses: The DeRUCCI T11 Pro and MWI1 Smart Mattresses are Artificial Intelligence smart sleep IoT (Internet of Things) solutions based on extensive sleep/health research with international universities and institutions. The DeRUCCI smart mattresses are the first to actually warn users about potential health issues before they are aware of them, monitoring and instantly adjusting to the individual’s health for optimal sleep. The mattresses combine DeRUCCI’s patented AI technologies and software algorithms with sophisticated styling, employing AI sleep/health sensors that automatically track body shape and changes in sleeping position, body temperature, heart rate, and health with air support units that instantly respond to each person. The mattresses also connect to DeRUCCI and other IoT home appliances to control the bedroom’s smart thermostat, air conditioner, aromatherapy, air purifier, sleep-enhancing lighting, meditation products, sleep aids, and other IoT devices.
• Anti-Snore Pillow: the DeRUCCI Anti-Snore Pillow is the first all-in-one smart pillow that integrates monitoring, screening, and intervention to alleviate snoring and reduce the risk of sleep apnea, which can often be a precursor to serious disease. The Anti-Snore Smart Pillow is an intelligent pillow and app solution that alleviates snoring by adjusting the position of the head for the highest effectiveness on the market, reducing snoring by up to 89% (data from an internal clinical trial).
• Intelligent Height Adjustable Pillow: The height can be adjusted according to different individuals’ neck curves. Designed for neck support and better sleep, the Intelligent Height Adjustable Pillow monitors sleeping positions and dynamically adjusts the pillow height throughout the entire sleep cycle relieving neck fatigue and ensuring that the user wakes up feeling refreshed. The smart pillow also offers comprehensive sleep support with various sleep assistance modes to help users fall asleep more easily with detailed sleep reports to gain deep insights into sleep habits to optimize sleep quality.
• DeRUCCI AI Tidal Algorithm: A first of its kind, the DeRUCCI patented Tidal algorithm simultaneously adapts and customizes to each user’s various individual sleeping positions and makes real-time adjustments to perfectly match height, shape, and body areas, such as shoulders, back, waist, hips, and legs. DeRUCCI leverages its research in ergonomics, AI, and big data, and analyzes factors, such as Body Mass Index (BMI), sleeping positions, pressure distribution, height, and firmness.
• Air Support Units: Ceramic sensors control rubber-sensing airbags and support materials, such as springs, foam, and latex. The airbag’s height and firmness are also adjusted for position and smoothness.
• AI Sleep Monitoring: analyzes changes in users’ physiological parameters monitoring sleep with reports on sleep quality, making it easier to reach deep sleep. Provides personalized sleep consultations and recommendations with sleep medicine and wellness companies to optimize sleep, exercise, and diet, essential for elderly care and specialized sports.
• AI Sleep Health Warnings: analyzes users’ disease data, along with geographic location, age, and sleep monitoring metrics to provide early chronic disease warnings.

The DeRUCCI line of sleep health products will be available in the United States sometime in 2024. We look forward to seeing and testing some of DeRUCCI’s products in the coming year.
