Slowave, a company specializing in brainwave analysis, announced on December 1 that it has officially launched “Slowave 1.0,” an ultra-compact wireless brainwave measurement device that can be used safely without disturbing sleep.

Slowave 1.0 is an ultra-compact diagnostic device equipped with a proprietary wireless brainwave sensor. It measures key biosignals such as EEG (electroencephalogram), PPG (photoplethysmogram), and pulse from subjects while they sleep. Based on this data, it provides sleep information by analyzing sleep stages, quality, and arousal patterns.

Until now, brainwave measurement devices have been bulky and required wired sensors, leading to uncomfortable wear that disturbs the subject’s sleep. This has resulted in distorted measurement data and reduced accuracy of analysis.

The brainwave sensor in Slowave 1.0 weighs approximately 6 grams, making it light enough to be attached to the subject’s forehead without discomfort, even while sleeping. Its wireless design ensures that movement or tossing and turning during sleep does not affect the measurement.

Upon its release, Slowave 1.0 received Class II medical device certification from the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety (MFDS), officially proving its safety and performance. It has also been supplied to national research institutes conducting studies on sleep disorders.

Ryu Kyungho, CEO of Slowave, stated, “As interest in not only physical but also mental health grows, we hope that Slowave 1.0 will open up new possibilities as a device actively used to improve mental health.” He added, “In collaboration with medical and research institutions, we will continue to conduct brainwave-based research on delirium, ADHD, and cognitive function, and pursue the development of digital therapeutics.”
