Turning the ideas for the Zeo™ Personal Sleep Coach into a simple-to-use, easy-to-understand consumer product was a complex task, and it has been in product development and consumer testing for more than 5 years. Our new Personal Sleep Coach represents the culmination of breakthrough engineering innovation and cutting-edge knowledge and techniques within sleep science, sleep education, neuroscience, behavioral psychology, consumer electronics, and web software technology.
The end result is a user-friendly product that provides powerful, personalized sleep information and customized action steps to improve your Sleep Fitness™. After you try Zeo, we think you'll agree that the thorough development process was well worth the effort!
Softwave Sensor Technology
Our Company's patent-pending, SoftWave sensor technology consists of three primary components: a headband, a bedside display, and sophisticated algorithms that enable precise and scientifically-validated sleep phase tracking. The ultra-light Zeo Headband – which is is made of soft, adjustable fabrics that stretch to fit various head shapes and sizes – rests comfortably on your forehead when sleeping and includes dry, hypoallergenic, silverized-fabric sensors that measure electrical activity naturally produced by the brain. As these signals are safely and passively collected, they are wirelessly transmitted to the Zeo Bedside Display for sleep phase data processing.
Bedside Display
Teaming up with a cast of seasoned electrical engineers, neuroscientists, and embedded software and product usability experts, Zeo has created a first-of-its-kind, sleep data display that sits on your nightstand.
Also referred to as a "smart alarm clock," the Zeo Bedside Display uses algorithms and artificial intelligence software programs to track electrical activity in the brain to determine your sleep phases throughout the night. This includes length and depth of your sleep, awakenings, and a measure of a single night of sleep, called ZQ, which Zeo has created to help educate you about your Sleep Fitness. Learn more about how it works.
Web and Database Technology
The myZeo website offers sophisticated, web-based tools to present your sleep data and potential causal factors in clear and compelling ways. The website includes a personalized Sleep Profile, Journal, and a number of tools that let you analyze all aspects of your sleep. In addition, Zeo provides a sleep coaching command center where you can customize your 7 Step Sleep Fitness Program, review past steps and action plans, and decide to skip or pause any of the steps at any time you choose. Private and confidential storage of your personal sleep data is ensured.
Personalized Sleep Coaching Program
After years of reviewing published findings within the field of sleep science, as well as self-guided, behavioral modification techniques that span healthy lifestyle programs including weight loss, sports performance training and even smoking cessation, Zeo's team of sleep psychology and software experts has helped us to create a proprietary, e-mail based program that we call the 7 Step Sleep Fitness Program.
Only Zeo, with its unique sleep phase tracking technology, provides custom-fit recommendations and strategies to help you achieve Sleep Fitness. The Zeo program helps you measure your progress, and can show you lifestyle impacts on your sleep that have never before been available to consumers in their own homes.

SmartWake™ Alarm
With our optional SmartWake alarm feature, our SoftWave sensors search to find what could be a “natural awakening point” - when it could be a little easier to get out of bed in the morning. SmartWake will look for a moment when you transition into and out of REM sleep when the brain is highly active, a moment Zeo is uniquely able to find since it detects all phases of sleep. The result may be a slightly easier way to wake up. Zeo will awaken you as early as a half-hour before your set wake-up time, and SmartWake will never wake you later than your set wake-up time.
Zeo also features a standard wake-up alarm feature, which is like a normal alarm clock and will wake you at the exact time you set the alarm.
