For travelers, Neuroon introduces jet lag wearable

WARSAW, Poland - A recent study at Stanford University demonstrated how exposing a person to short flashes of light during sleep could be the secret to minimizing jet lag. Through manipulating levels of melatonin in the body, there is a significant speed-up in the process of the body adjusting to its rescheduled circadian rhythm. 

 

Using this principle, Neuroon in December launched a wearable device 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. 

 

Neuroon tracks light, deep, REM and sleep interruptions, displaying the totals in a daily dashboard. Neuroon is comprised of three components: a 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.
