Rythm raises $11M to pursue sleep-improving neurotechnology (TechCrunch):
“French startup Rythm, which makes a tech-infused headset it claims improves sleep quality, announced Tuesday that it’s raised over $11 million from private investors and public grants…The idea is this: many restorative functions take place during the deepest phases of your sleep cycle, right? But those cycles are short and get shorter as the night goes on. The Dreem headset uses audio to stimulate the brain in a way that elongates those deep sleep cycles, which may improve the quality of your rest — and possibly memory and other cognitive functions as well…Rythm is currently avoiding serious medical claims with the Dreem, officially saying it merely improves sleep quality generally (though it can then claim credit for the benefits of improved sleep).”
