Neuroon: A New Wearable Device That Helps Beat Jet Lag
WARSAW, Poland and SAN FRANCISCO, April 26, 2016 /PRNewswire/ --
Stanford University study demonstrates effectiveness of Light Therapy in helping
long-haul travellers to readjust their circadian rhythms
As the demand for air transport continues to grow and long-distance flights become
increasingly commonplace, travellers are looking to cutting-edge technology to help combat
the sleep disruption, fatigue and poor concentration that often accompanies jet lag. A
recent study at Stanford University demonstrated how exposing a person to short flashes of
light during sleep could be the secret to minimising these effects. Through manipulating
levels of melatonin in the body, there was a significant speed-up in the process of the
body adjusting to its rescheduled circadian rhythm. Using this principle, Neuroon is a
revolutionary wearable device that launched in December 2015, providing jet lag therapy
for its user.
Through combining advanced brain wave and pulse measurement technology with a
comfortable sleeping mask commonly used in air travel, Neuroon uses Bright Light Therapy
to improve sleep efficiency, and most importantly to alleviate jet lag. Using built-in
biometric sensors, the Neuroon system monitors the user's sleep architecture, providing
advanced sleep analysis, calculates a sleep efficiency score, and offers optimization
advice. Of all the consumer-grade sleep trackers, Neuroon is the most sophisticated. It
tracks light, deep, REM, and sleep interruptions, conveniently displaying the totals in a
daily dashboard. Neuroon is comprised of three components: a comfortable mask made of soft,
hypoallergenic material, the Smartpack, which contains the device's sensors and
electronics encased in medically certified silicone, and the Neuroon app that controls the
mask wirelessly using Bluetooth.
Jet Lag Blocker is one of the main features of the Neuroon which helps combat the
sleep problems associated with rapid time zone changes. After setting the travel
destination in the mobile app, the mask automatically fine-tunes the appropriate light
therapy during sleep (without interfering with it) and offers a number of recommendations
to help the user optimize their circadian rhythm while traveling. For the best results
users should start the therapy several days before traveling. By adjusting a person's
biorhythm before their travel, the Neuroon can effectively minimize the effects of a
long-distance trip before they occur.
