Group Submission: Project Narrative

  • A student knows they have to wake up between 9:00 and 9:30 AM for their morning class, but they want to make sure that they are not woken up while in deep sleep and left feeling disoriented as a result.

  • They purchase WakeWise and pair the sleep tracker ring to the app.

  • They then input the interval at which they would like to be woken up the next morning (9-9:30), and go to sleep.

  • Between 9:00 and 9:30, the ring constantly monitors the student’s sleep status until they are in the lightest stage of sleep and then wakes them up according to their preferences.
