While you worry about AI bringing about the end of humanity, you might as well use it to get a good night’s sleep. DeRucci is a Chinese sleep health company that announced an AI-powered mattress and smart pillow that promise to help you sleep better. The mattress features 23 sensors that monitor small changes in temperature, sleep position and heart rate throughout the night. It also has a layer of air bags that respond to changes in position to better support your spine, neck and hips. It uses AI to adjust everything to your body shape and sleep position and will alert you to any potential health issues arising from your sleep data.
DeRucci’s smart pillow aims to combat snoring by monitoring for slight movement that may indicate snoring. When it recognizes that a sleeper is snoring, it intervenes by adjusting the loft and moving the position of a sleeper’s head. In addition to reducing snoring, the goal is to reduce the risk of sleep apnea. According to an internal clinical study, the company says its pillow can reduce snoring up to 89%. You may, however, pass out when you discover that the pillow is expected to cost nearly $1,000 with the mattress priced at more than $8,000.
