Selina Tirtajana, a former medical device executive, has developed SØVN, AI-powered earbuds designed to combat teeth grinding during sleep. These earbuds utilize magnetosensing and biofeedback to gently prompt the jaw to relax without waking the wearer. Tirtajana's motivation stemmed from her own decade-long struggle with teeth grinding and the lack of effective solutions, leading her to build the necessary sensor technology and collect a unique dataset over three years. The company, formerly Jawsaver, was renamed SØVN to avoid confusion and aims to expand into broader sleep health solutions. AI
IMPACT Offers a novel AI-driven solution for a common sleep-related health issue, potentially improving sleep quality and reducing dental damage.
RANK_REASON The item describes a specific product, AI-powered earbuds, designed to address a health issue (teeth grinding), which falls under the category of AI-adjacent tooling rather than a core AI release or research.
