Asleep started with these simple questions. How can people sleep better at night and start the day feeling refreshed? Not getting enough sleep at night negatively affects daytime activities, which means that sleep can reduce the overall quality of life.

The sleep industry is growing at a fast rate, but ironically, the number of sleep disorder reports is also increasing. In fact, the number of patients with sleep disorders in Korea has doubled over the past decade at an annual average increase rate of approximately 8%.

To solve sleep problems, it is necessary to first understand how people sleep. The most accurate way to assess sleep is to take a polysomnography test. However, taking polysomnography tests can be tough; one might face difficulties in making appointments, measurement procedures are inconvenient, and the data analysis process is rather complex.

As a means to alleviate these difficulties, the sleep tech market, which attempts to enable sleep tracking at home, has been brought to light. There exist various sleep tracking service applications and smartwatches, but people have to go through the discomfort of physically wearing digital devices and the accuracy of existing services is low. The low accuracy inherent in these devices becomes a major obstacle in connecting sleep-related services and medical sleep therapy, thereby hindering the development of technology that takes care of a person's sleep.

Achieving accurate sleep stage analysis will bring about a new era where personalized and sustainable sleep therapy will be available at home. Therefore, Asleep presents a convenient and accurate sleep tracking solution through Asleep Universe, an AI-based engine that automates sleep measurement at home.
