Ongoing projects

Our company has its roots in over a decade of academic research into sleeping behaviours. Discover our ongoing projects.

Deep sleep in the Dutch military

This project tests DeepSleep’s technology in military field training, assessing both sleep quality and cognitive performance.
In progress

Optimizing auditory stimuli for sleep deepening

The project refines sound-based stimuli to deepen brain waves even beyond current DeepSleep capabilities, aiming to further optimize the technology.
In progress

Innovating sleep enhancement with in-ear EEG

This project explores integrating ear-based EEG devices with DeepSleep technology to test its effectiveness in enhancing sleep through targeted stimulation.
In progress

Assessing DeepSleep’s impact on brain waste clearance

This project evaluates whether DeepSleep’s technology can accelerate sleep’s natural brain waste clearance mechanisms, thereby improving overall brain health.
In progress

Miniaturising our technology

This project focuses on embedding DeepSleep's technology onto a microcontroller platform, preparing it for integration into wearable consumer devices.
In progress

Sleep deepening in insomnia

This project deploys our technology in populations with sleep difficulties to assess whether it improves subjective sleep quality.
In progress

Embedding automated sleep data analysis

This project develops advanced tools to automate sleep data analysis, enabling faster, more accurate, and reliable interpretations.
In progress

Adapting DeepSleep for partial hearing impairments

This project investigates tailored auditory stimulation methods to ensure DeepSleep’s effectiveness for individuals with partial hearing loss.
In progress

Our partnerships

We’re pushing innovation forward, whether in our dedicated lab in Amsterdam, through at-home trials, or by teaming up with partners across the globe. Together, we’re finding new ways to make a real impact on health and well-being.
