"If you sleep this way, you wouldn't want to sleep another way.”
When Igor said this, I had to go and try out the Neera bed myself, and afterward I interviewed Igor about the innovative science and technology behind Neera. It is a device designed to improve sleep through vibrational frequencies and personalized algorithms. In our conversation we explore how this technology can transform sleep quality and overall well-being.
Topics:
Science of vibrational frequencies and sleep
Personalized algorithms for sleep optimization
Acoustic and mechanical engineering in sleep devices
The role of frequencies in regulating nervous system and chakras
User experience and self-reporting in sleep tech
Future developments in vibrational sleep technology

ABOUT IGOR:
Igor is the co-founder of Neera. They are building nervous system regulation hardware for high performers. Over 15+ years in deep tech, he was design director on YotaPhone, the first dual-screen smartphone, and co-founded Gero (disease prediction from wearable movement data) and Atmotube (air quality sensing, 70,000+ units shipped, used in research at Stanford and Harvard).
