WakeTFUp is a proposed smart wake-up and accountability system combining pillow-based vibration, wakefulness verification, progressive alerts and a companion mobile application.
A conventional alarm primarily alerts you at a particular time.
WakeTFUp is designed around a wake-up loop that includes tactile alerting, physical response verification and escalation when the user does not respond.
The system uses vibration motors integrated with the pillow setup to deliver localized tactile alerts.
WakeTFUp is designed specifically around localized, pillow-based vibration so that the wake-up experience can be more personal than a loud alarm.
The proposed system uses pressure/motion sensing and a physical response step to determine whether the user has responded to the wake-up alert.
The alert can progressively escalate. If the wake-up remains unverified, the Wake My Friend Safety Net can notify your selected trusted contact.
Wake My Friend is WakeTFUp’s social accountability feature.
If you don’t respond to your wake-up sequence, a trusted contact can be notified.
The proposed product is designed to work together with a companion mobile application for alarm control, settings and accountability features.
The product concept includes a specially designed washable outer pillow cover, with the electronic core designed as a removable module.
That includes heavy sleepers, chronic snoozers, high achievers, students during placement/exam periods and people with time-sensitive commitments.
This is a preliminary price and may change following product validation, manufacturing and pilot testing.
WakeTFUp is positioned as a consumer wake-up and accountability product.
