iPillow: Sleep Quality Improvement System

Abstract

A quality sleep is essential for the maintenance of the internal organs, to improve memory and brain functionalities, reduce the stress, and to improve our health state. We focused on “Accurate sleep stages detection methods and sleep quality improvement methods” to implement a device that improves the quality of sleep. This device will have an EEG (electroencephalogram) sensor along with the heartbeat, gyroscope and pressure sensors to increase the accuracy of the sleep level identification and a medication system to play binaural beats to trigger the sleep. Furthermore, a survey will be conducted in the public to gather the data on sleeping disorders and performing an analysis using an algorithm on gathered information, a sleep support health mobile application will be designed to review user's daily sleep quality and share health tips daily according to the user's health situation. As the final product, we hope to invent a smart pillow called “IPillow” which is capable of improving the sleep quality.
