Pinyan Cai, Han Han

Abstract: Nowadays, increasing number of people are facing insomnia due to the work-rest balance difficulties in their daily life, while most of them are not in a serious situation. Hence, non-pharmaceutical treatment for insomnia is becoming a more popular method as the people’s preference, and new products are emerging in this field regarding such tendency. Therefore, this study makes a general analysis of the current products and as a result, it is found that 1) Melatonin and brain waves are central to their intervention principles; 2) The user interacts with the product in a passive manner and can only act as a receiver of the intervention signal. Moreover, in order to improve such situation, we further propose an alternative direction in accessing a health monitoring system with artificial intelligence in this paper. Through the health monitoring system to obtain user data and artificial intelligence to learn from the data, one can make the product adjust to the user’s treatment, forming a closed loop.
