Somnee has been recognized on Fast Company’s Next Big Things in Tech list, which highlights emerging technologies with significant impacts on industries. The Somnee smart sleep headband is among 138 technologies featured from over 1,000 applicants. It is noted for its closed-loop approach to sleep technology, combining sleep lab-grade technology in a wearable format to enhance sleep quality through personalized tACS neuromodulation.
The Somnee headband aims to improve sleep through a noninvasive method that integrates EEG+ sensors and AI/ML models. Developed by experts in neuroscience and sleep, the technology is supported by 22 clinical studies and protected by 24 patents.
