Research Focus Areas
Personalized Circadian Sleep Supplements

Personalized Circadian Sleep Supplements

Using wearable data (e.g., Oura Rings) to create tailored supplement protocols, such as magnesium glycinate, optimized for individual circadian rhythms. These supplements aim to improve sleep quality, reduce latency, and enhance restfulness.


Advanced Oral Appliances for Sleep Apnea

Advanced Oral Appliances for Sleep Apnea

Developing oral devices integrated with sensors and microfluidics to monitor sleep metrics, detect snoring, and pinpoint airway obstructions. This approach combines therapy with real-time diagnostics, offering a more effective and adaptive solution for sleep apnea.


Dream Visualization Technology

Dream Visualization Technology

Designing EEG-based headbands paired with generative AI to interpret and visualize dream content. This technology offers insights into sleep patterns, emotional processing, and creativity, pushing the boundaries of both neuroscience and consumer sleep tech.
