Dreem is a sleep device that monitors, analyzes, and enhances quality of sleep.
The wearable device uses multiple sensors to monitor brain activity during sleep, and emits sounds through bone conducting speaker to maintain the quality of sleep and extend deep sleep cycles.
Dreem utilizes a fabric-like elastic band, which wraps all the way around the head with sensors embedded on the front and back. This design provides enough pressure onto the skull to keep it secure and maintain contact with the electrodes. A bone-conducting speaker located on the forehead emits sounds onto the skull without disturbing a sleeping partner.
Upon going to sleep, the band can be set to play white noise to stimulate sleep; likewise, it can play sounds to wake one up at the right time of the sleep cycle. The device can also check heart rate and provide a full view of the body’s activity while asleep.
Aesthetically, Dreem is designed to feel like loungewear instead of tech; the fabric is made in soft, neutral colors more akin to apparel than typical tech. Foam inserts keep the headband soft and comfortable.
While all of the device’s settings are controlled in the app, a volume module and power button are also built into the top of the device for quick access.
a few of the 100+ mockups at different fidelities created throughout the design process to test ergonomics, UX and shape refinement.
