Philips Smart Sleep

Summary

Philips Smart Sleep is intended to improve the quality of sleep for patients without a sleep disorder (insomnia, OSA) who routinely obtain less than 7 hours of sleep. It is a wearable device on the head that utilizes real-time machine-interpreted EEG to determine slow-wave sleep (SWS). Audio tones are provided during machine-determined SWS with the goal to enhance SWS. The sound is not heard by the bedpartner.

Claimed Capabilities/Measurements

Philips Smart Sleep claims to use acoustic stimulation to enhance slow waves. A series of tones is delivered to match “the brain’s natural rhythm.” SWS amplitude is increased without causing arousals. The device claims to assess SWS using closed-loop EEG.

Mechanism

EEG that is interpreted via machine algorithm.

Sensors

Two sensors in the headband and a disposable sensor placed behind the right ear to generate a closed-loop EEG

Technical Considerations

Works with SleepMapper app
