A South Korean start-up called 10minds has created a connected pillow that promises to dramatically reduce snoring by slightly altering the position of a person's head during sleep.
The system is based on four inflatable cushions placed inside the pillow. Depending on the position of the user's head and its movements, these can be used to raise the head and better align it with the rest of the body to help free the airways.
A small unit, designed to be placed on the bedside table, serves to detect snoring sounds and remotely activate the internal air cushions.
As the pillow is connected, it sends a host of practical data to an accompanying mobile application. The user will be able to find out how long they have been snoring and the number of manoeuvres that took place during the night.
The Motion Pillow is available in South Korea for 870,000 won (RM3,220). --ETX Daily Up
