30% of adults in industrialized countries such as the United States, United Kingdom, Japan, Germany, and Canada do not get good quality sleep on a regular basis. Insufficient and poor sleep has been declared a public health problem as it is associated with a range of negative health and social outcomes, including unsuccess in school and in the labor market. In economic terms, poor sleep - or the lack of it - leads to significant economic losses (up to 411 and 138 B$/year in the US and Japan, respectively), and there is growing evidence indicating a strong association between short sleep duration and high mortality risks. This project explores the implementation of a new neurotechnology to improve sleep quality, aiming to penetrate the Global Sleep Tech Device Market that exceeded USD 9 billion in 2018 and is set to achieve over 16% CAGR by 2025, surpassing USD 27 billion. The novel, consumer-grade device is based on a unique EEG/TCS developed by Bitbrain and is a very recent research breakthrough finding in sleep quality improvement. The rationale of this project is Bitbrain’s need to hire highly qualified personnel in Sleep and EEG/TCS technology to explore this innovation, in combination with the difficulty of the company to access this type of personnel. The impact of the recruitment will be the implementation of a sleep R&D area in the company, and he/she will benefit from working in a very interdisciplinary R&D team with many training possibilities. The specific objectives of the innovation associate will explore the feasibility of employing this new wearable EEG/TCS for sleep quality improvement, evaluate its effectiveness in laboratory settings, and verify the potential to transfer these results to the real world. If successful, this new technology will be the first of its class to potentially impact a very important social issue effectively.
