Nokia expands consumer range with launch of sleep sensor at CES

Nokia is expanding its consumer electronics range with the launch at CES of the Nokia Sleep, a mattress pad that can help track sleep patterns and control smart home systems. 

Nokia Sleep is a Wi-Fi-enabled pad that fits under the mattress and provides insight into the quality of the sleep experience. It also offers environment control through IFTTT, an automation service for all internet-connected things, so users can control lights, thermostats or other devices while in bed.

The sleep sensor can conduct a sleep cycle analysis, including sleep duration and interruptions; light, deep and rapid-eye-movement phases; and snoring tracking. It provides a 'Sleep score', to indicate how restorative a night's sleep was, and educate users about what makes a good night's sleep and how they can improve their sleep. 

Nokia Sleep synchronizes with the Nokia Health Mate app so users can have all their health data in one place. The app provides data history, personalized advice and coaching programs, including one developed specifically around sleep.

The device will be available in Q1 for USD 99. 

Nokia also announced at CES the integration of its Health Mate app with Alexa, the voice-controlled digital assistant from Amazon. In addition, Nokia launched a new rose gold edition of its Steel HR activity tracking watch.
