LG Electronics Inc. has collaborated with sleep-tracking software startup, Asleep, to develop smart home appliances that utilize sleep analytics technology.
Under its memorandum of understanding with Asleep, LG will create a smart home appliance device that offers optimized services based on the customer’s sleeping status and patterns,
As long as a smartphone, smart TV, speaker, or other devices with a microphone is present, Asleep's artificial intelligence (AI)-based technology can measure different sleep phases.
For instance, if a customer is deemed sleeping, the air purifier in the bedroom switches to sleep mode automatically, and the air conditioner lowers the temperature to accommodate for the best air quality based on recent sleep records.
Asleep will display its products at the Consumer Electronics Show next month and hold demonstrations of a smart bedroom environment with LG’s premium home appliances and sleep analytics technology.
