UMindSleep Launches 'Sleep Cat Eye': A Lightweight, High-Precision Home Sleep Monitoring Device Powered by BCI Technology

On March 21, hosted by the Chinese Sleep Research Society,“World Sleep Day · The 4th China Sleep Industry Summit”Held online. Shenzhen Chuangda Yunrui Intelligent Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Yunrui Intelligence”) was invited to attend the summit, where its core brand’s new sleep monitoring product from the Youmengsi series, “Sleep Cat Eye,” made its debut. This new product launch contributes to the development of the sleep industry and promotes the construction of a new sleep ecosystem.

Themed “Integrating the Sleep Ecosystem, Streamlining Industrial Circulation,” this forum explores cutting-edge trends and emerging directions in the sleep industry, identifies new opportunities, and charts a course for the development of the sleep sector over the next five years and beyond, while comprehensively building an ecosystem for the sleep industry. From economic trend analysis and top-level strategic interpretation to design leadership, technological innovation, and industry–academia–research collaboration, the event delivers frontline insights and case studies, offering a feast of ideas for the sleep industry.

According to the “2021 White Paper on Exercise and Sleep,” 300 million people in China suffer from sleep disorders, meaning that one in every four to five individuals experiences sleep problems. At the conference, Professor Huang Zhili explained that sleep is a highly conserved instinctive behavior and a normal physiological process of the human body. Sleep helps eliminate fatigue, restore physical strength, protect the brain, stabilize emotions, and enhance immunity. It is also essential for growth and development, consolidation of learning and memory, and maintenance of mental agility.

Healthy sleep is closely linked to the lives of each and every one of us. Quality sleep helps replenish the body’s energy, strengthen immunity, promote normal metabolism as well as growth and development, and allow both the body and mind to rest fully.

Achieving quality sleep has become a widespread demand among the general public, including patients suffering from sleep disorders. This demand has also given rise to a vast market.

According to research by the American Academy of Sleep Medicine, sleep is a dynamic process of cerebral changes.Regarding the four metrics of sleep latency, deep sleep, light sleep, and rapid eye movement (REM) sleep that concern many people, mobile apps and smart wristbands can only provide a simple and rough assessment. To accurately capture the full characteristics of the sleep cycle, it is necessary to refer to the gold standard for precise sleep monitoring: polysomnography (PSG).

Polysomnography (PSG) is the gold standard for in-hospital diagnosis of various sleep disorders and for identifying the underlying causes of insomnia. Although highly accurate, PSG involves complex operational procedures, which limit its applicability and, to some extent, reduce the efficiency of sleep monitoring in healthcare facilities. Therefore, wearable and intelligent monitoring devices with greater convenience will significantly increase the adoption rate of in-hospital sleep monitoring and unlock a vast blue-ocean market.

With the advancement of science and technology, a wave of wearable device innovation has swept across both domestic and international markets. Today, wearable devices in various forms have permeated every aspect of people’s lives. As the global population ages at an accelerating pace, China has entered a period characterized by a high prevalence of chronic diseases, marked by a large patient population, high medical costs, and substantial demand for healthcare services. In this context, health- and medical-grade wearable devices have become essential for many individuals. Consequently, the health and medical sector is widely recognized as the field with the greatest development potential and the largest market size.

The same holds true for the sleep industry, where advancements in wearable devices for sleep monitoring have made it a reality for “sleep monitoring to enter households across the nation.”

Previously, UMindSleep, the core brand under Yunrui Intelligence, emerged as a dark horse in the field of sleep monitoring. As the first forehead-worn wearable sleep monitor approved based on the gold standard of electroencephalography (EEG), it features high-precision data collection, upload, analysis, and feedback for multiple vital sign parameters, including EEG, blood oxygen saturation, pulse rate, body position, and body movement. The device has obtained medical device registration certification from the National Medical Products Administration (NMPA). Its sleep staging data parameters and analysis results can serve directly as reference evidence for disease analysis in patients with sleep disorders. It is currently providing sleep monitoring services to patients in nearly 100 hospitals across China.

At the summit, the debut of Umons’ home-use sleep monitor, “Sleep Cat’s Eye,” will enrich interactive applications of sleep monitoring in daily life scenarios and further enhance the intelligent experience of home-based sleep monitoring.

“Sleep Cat’s Eye” is the world’s first ultra-lightweight home-based brain-computer interface (BCI) sleep monitor, weighing only 5.2 grams. Building on a design that ensures comfortable, unobtrusive wear, it accurately monitors sleep and provides intelligent solutions. Its features include real-time sleep staging, precise identification of sleep issues, smart solution recommendations, tracking of improvement outcomes, and recording of hundreds of metrics. It offers users a range of intelligent experiences, such as light-sleep awakening, family care connectivity, and health early-warning alerts.

According to Song Yu, CTO of Yunrui Intelligence, “Drawing on Yunrui Intelligence’s years of experience in chip-based EEG applications, we have independently developed a custom EEG chip. It features an ultra-compact form factor, ultra-low power consumption, and ultra-high precision, enabling it to process signals with extremely low amplitudes. This chip embodies the accumulation of our past efforts and our vision for the future in human-intelligent EEG smart technology.” In the future, people will have the opportunity to enjoy medical-grade sleep monitoring services at home with high cost-effectiveness and comfort, experiencing the better life brought by cutting-edge brain-computer interface technology.

Notably, Yunrui Intelligence was honored with the “2021 Annual Technological Innovation Enterprise Award in the Sleep Industry” at the 2021 Sina Health and Wellness Sleep Awards. Looking ahead, Yunrui Intelligence will continue to deepen its expertise in the sleep sector, striving to deliver greater value to users and society through the commercialization of brain-computer interface technology.

The continuous growth of the sleep industry requires not only that companies across various sectors leverage their respective strengths, but also multi-party collaboration for mutual development. Previously, Yunrui Intelligence had established strategic partnerships with companies such as Breo and Oxygen Doctor. In the future, Yunrui Intelligence will continue to embrace an open, inclusive, and win-win mindset, actively collaborating with experts in brain science and medicine, as well as ecosystem partners in the industry. Focusing on brain-computer interface (BCI) and multimodal biosensing technologies, the company will further explore and implement applications in more diverse scenarios.
