The startup develops a non-invasive snoring device that utilizes a pillow-based system to detect snoring and stimulate throat muscles through controlled inflation and deflation. This technology enables users to achieve uninterrupted sleep without the discomfort of traditional anti-snoring solutions like masks or strips.

Problem
Snoring disrupts sleep for both the snorer and their partner, leading to fatigue, relationship strain, and increased risk of health issues. Traditional anti-snoring solutions like mouthguards or masks can be uncomfortable and interfere with natural sleep positions.
Solution
Smart Nora offers a contact-free, pillow-based system that addresses snoring without requiring the user to wear uncomfortable devices or change their sleeping position. The system includes a bedside "pebble" that uses AI to detect early signs of snoring. Once snoring is detected, the pebble signals a silent air pump to gently inflate and deflate a pad placed under the user's pillow. This subtle movement stimulates throat muscles, opening the airway and preventing snoring without waking the user. The Smart Nora system is designed to integrate seamlessly into any sleep environment, working with any pillow type and sleeping position.
Target Audience
The primary target audience includes individuals who snore and their partners seeking a comfortable, non-invasive solution to reduce snoring and improve sleep quality for both parties.
