RESEARCH & DEVELOPMENT
Problem
Millions of people struggle with sleep disturbances, often relying on white noise, music, or podcasts to fall asleep. However, conventional speakers can disturb others sharing the same space, creating tension and limiting their effectiveness.
Dangers of Lack of Sleep and Insomnia

02
Mental Health Disorders: Insomnia is linked to a 10-fold increase in the risk of developing depression and anxiety
03
Cardiovascular Risks: Poor sleep increases the risk of heart disease and stroke by up to 48%.
04
Metabolic Issues: Sleep deprivation contributes to a 55% higher risk of obesity in adults and increases the risk of type 2 diabetes.
05
Immune System Weakness: People who sleep fewer than 7 hours are three times more likely to develop a cold compared to those who sleep 8 hours.
06
Increased Mortality: Studies have found that those with chronic insomnia have a 97% higher risk of early mortality compared to those with regular sleep patterns.

The Ultrasonic Directional Speaker is a groundbreaking device designed to revolutionize sleep health by delivering focused, personalized audio directly to the listener. Using advanced ultrasonic technology, it emits a highly precise sound beam that ensures only the intended user hears the audio, without disturbing others nearby. This compact and versatile innovation addresses the growing need for non-intrusive sleep aids, reducing noise pollution in shared spaces while enhancing comfort and sleep quality for individuals in environments like hospitals, shared bedrooms, and caregiving settings.
How It Works
The Ultrasonic Directional Speaker operates using an array of transducers that generate ultrasonic waves at approximately 40 kHz. These ultrasonic waves are modulated with an audio signal (such as white noise). When the beams of ultrasonic waves interact and interfere with each other in the air, they demodulate due to the nonlinear acoustic properties of the medium. This process converts the high-frequency ultrasonic signals into audible sound within a highly focused area. The result is a directional audio experience, where the sound is only heard by the intended listener in the targeted location, leaving surrounding areas unaffected.
