Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania – Royal Philips (NYSE:
PHG), a global leader in health technology, today announced the
launch of its expanded SmartSleep suite of solutions in the United
States. First introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show in
January 2019, Philips SmartSleep solutions aim to improve the lives
of millions of consumers by providing a breadth of solutions to
address sleep issues ranging from difficulty falling asleep to
snoring, to simply not getting enough quality sleep.
Recognized as a population health issue by clinical communities
worldwide, sleep deprivation affects the health and livelihood of
millions of people. In fact, a global sleep health survey conducted
by Philips in 2019 revealed that 76 percent of adults experience at
least one listed condition that affects their sleep, with insomnia
(37 percent) and snoring (29 percent) being the most common [1]. By
expanding its suite of consumer sleep solutions, Philips aims to
ultimately address 80 percent of all sleep issues globally.
“Everyone sleeps, but unfortunately sleep doesn’t come easily
for everyone. There are a host of issues that impact sleep – from
trouble falling asleep to snoring to chronic conditions like sleep
apnea,” said Mark Michels, Business Leader, Healthy Sleep Solutions
at Philips. “Using our nearly 40 years of deep clinical expertise
in sleep technology, we continue to enhance the solutions available
for people who experience common issues that negatively impact the
quality of their sleep. Our suite of solutions aims to provide
consumers with access to clinically backed innovations that will
help them get a better night’s sleep to achieve more productive
days ahead, while also increasing awareness to the importance of
sleep health. All of this comes with the hope of positively
impacting the consumer and clinical sleep industries
alike.”
Philips SmartSleep suite of solutions is comprised of a mix of
existing and new solutions, which aim to make better sleep
accessible to everyone:
- SmartSleep Analyzer: The clinically validated
SmartSleep Analyzer provides personalized analysis of users’ sleep
based on a brief, online questionnaire and provides feedback
immediately upon completion to identify sleep challenges and
recommend sleep solutions personalized to the user. This unique
online triage tool was developed in collaboration with sleep
physicians, specialists and researchers to identify the most common
sleep challenges, helping to support Philips strategy to amplify
awareness around the role sleep plays in consumers’ health and
wellbeing.
- SmartSleep Snoring Relief Band: This wearable
device is is a clinically proven, personalized solution for
positional snoring [2]. Derived from clinical technology, a small,
discreet positional monitor detects when the wearer begins to shift
to their back and delivers adaptive vibrations that prompt them to
sleep on their side – leading to quieter nights for positional
snorers and their partners [2].
- SmartSleep Better Sleep Program: Rooted in the
principals of cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I),
the SmartSleep Better Sleep Program combines offline and app-based
components to help users fall asleep faster or sleep more soundly
[3]. The program will include a sleep journal featuring guidance
from Philips Global Lead for Behavior Change, Mark Aloia PhD, and
one year of access to the Sleeprate mobile app. Guided by the
journal and using the app, the user will complete an evaluation of
their sleep habits and environment which will be used to create a
customized and personalized program to help address sleep
challenges.
- SmartSleep Deep Sleep Headband: Made available
for purchase in the United States on Philips.com in the fall of
2018, the Deep Sleep Headband is the world’s first and only
clinically proven wearable solution for consumers to improve deep
sleep quality. This wearable is uniquely designed with two small
sensors that detect periods of slow wave sleep and intervene with
technology to boost it in real time.
- SmartSleep Connected Sleep and Wake-Up Light (Connected
Somneo HF3670): Inspired by the sun, this bedside light
and alarm clock helps users to wake up more naturally, and is
clinically proven to improve general wellbeing after waking
up. New features such as the SleepMapper mobile app and
AmbiTrak environmental sensor provide users with a suite of
connected, customizable features to help them relax to sleep, wake
up naturally and feel well rested.
Further building on its commitment to improve sleep health,
Philips is teaming with trusted, like-minded companies to offer
sleep-focused education, pre-diagnostic information and insight,
and easier access to Philips sleep solutions in the marketplace.
Philips and Walgreens have engaged in a joint effort to help
consumers identify the root causes of their sleep issues by
integrating the SmartSleep Analyzer tool into the Walgreens Find
Care™ platform, and connecting them with Philips sleep solutions
available for sale on Walgreens.com. Philips has also collaborated
with WebMD to reach more consumers about the importance of sleep to
overall health via educational content driving to SmartSleep
Analyzer and personalized sleep solutions on Philips.com.
The new SmartSleep solutions are now available for purchase on
Philips.com, Walgreens.com and BestBuy.com. SmartSleep Deep
Sleep Headband and Snore Relief Band will begin to roll out to
BestBuy stores across the United States in 2019.
