While the elusiveness of a good night's sleep is a universal and long-standing problem locally and globally, technology seems to promise a quicker and more effective solution. Cambridge Sound Management launched Nightingale, the latest in sleep systems using the Internet of Things and other cutting-edge technology.
In keeping with the IoT protocol, Nightingale of Cambridge Sound Management project is compatible with IFTTT. Smart home devices and tools like Amazon Echo, Philips, and Nest can all be seamlessly linked to Nightingale. There are nature sound selections and 15 ambient sound profiles to choose from.
A goal of $100,000 is required from Cambridge's Kickstarter campaign for Nightingale, pricing a pair of pilot units for $149. The initiative from this sound company is the first highly technological sleep system that can be made available to the mainstream market of sleep-deprived people. Acoustics experts of Cambridge Sound Management devised this product and their brainchild is close to its crowdfunding goal with more than 400 backers as of the time of posting.
The Nightingale Cambridge Sound Management system is highly customizable. The main control can be accessed via an Android or iOS smartphone. Prior to the brainchild of Nightingale, the sound acoustics experts of Cambridge Sound Management tapped sound masking and noise elimination in their products as well as crafting of background music.
Sleep issues are a pervasive problem. It affects productivity and overall long-term health and wellness of people. To solve this, Nightingale makes use of sound blankets that will basically control all the external noise or distractions that surround the sleeping area.
Various academic institutions such as Harvard Medical School highly support the Nightingale initiative. The technology is a step higher than the usual sound acoustic solutions provided by iPhone apps because it makes use of acoustic theory in a room to provide a more holistic and customized solution.
