Beddit: Sleep sonification and musical alarms

Beddit developed sleep monitoring solutions and was acquired by Apple in 2017. My work for Beddit included sonic interaction design, concept design for event productions, and audio branding services. I developed Beddit’s sonic identity further in creating the bio-informed wake-up experience, which involved user testing and prototyping with a service designer.

The project sits within a broader line of work on designed listening and psychophysiological response, harnessing not just affective, but also behavioural and cognitive features of music. It also included public-facing installation work, including an interactive booth presented at Slush 2015, which used a proprietary gluteal ballistographic cardiorespiratory monitoring system to sonify biosignals of seated visitors.
