NextSense is a neurotechnology and digital health company developing Smartbuds, wireless earbuds with clinical-grade in-ear EEG sensors for real-time sleep monitoring and brain-responsive audio stimulation. Its technology is designed to deepen restorative sleep at night and support adaptive focus sessions during the day, making brain-sensing technology accessible through a consumer wearable.
What makes NextSense distinct
- 01Uses in-ear EEG to read brain activity directly rather than inferring sleep only from movement or heart-rate signals.
- 02Delivers personalized, EEG-guided sound pulses intended to enhance slow-wave sleep in real time.
- 03Combines sleep enhancement and daytime Focus Mode in one wearable product.
- 04Uses low-profile earbuds with multiple tip and wing sizes for overnight comfort, including for side sleepers.
- 05Draws on expertise spanning neuroscience, sleep medicine, bioengineering, clinical research, and brain health.
