WakeMate

WakeMate is an electronic device that records users' sleep data and sounds within the 20-minute window prior to the set alarm time.

WakeMate makes personalized alarm clocks that sync with both a user's body and their cell phone, enabling the iPhone alarm system to sound at the end of a REM cycle. The application/ wristband system also provides a full sleep analysis on their Analytics Platform. The WakeMate uses a science called actigraphy to analyze your sleep. Actigraphy uses an actigraph (the WakeMate unit) placed on a subjectâ€s wrist to monitor the motion. The motion data is then analyzed to determine sleep patterns and circadian rhythms of the subject. WakeMate was funded by the startup incubator [Y Combinator](/comany/y-combinator).
