Technology

Every component chosen for a reason. Every decision optimized for the one moment that matters — the moment you fall asleep.

Airflow

Diffused Sleep-Zone Conditioning

Most air purifiers are designed for room-wide circulation. Designed to deliver HEPA-filtered air across the sleep zone; 60–80% is an engineering target pending independent validation.

H13
HEPA filtration grade
How It Works
Conventional Room Purifier

Designed to mix filtered air throughout a room.

Somnara Aura™ Design

Designed to deliver HEPA-filtered air across the sleep zone; 60–80% is an engineering target pending independent validation.

Engineering concept comparison only. Product-specific airflow and air-quality performance remain pending independent validation.

H13
filter-media design target

HEPA H13 Filtration

The Aura is being designed around HEPA H13 filter media and activated carbon. Final whole-device filtration and leakage performance are pending independent testing.

<24 dB(A)
engineering target · Sleep mode

FOC Motor

Designed for <24 dB(A) operation in Sleep mode; independent acoustic testing is planned.

environmental sensors

Sensor Array

PM2.5, PM10, VOC, CO2, temperature, humidity, radar, and ambient light.

60 GHz

Millimeter-Wave Radar

EchoLoom™ is being developed to provide contact-free wellness-oriented sleep-state estimates and breathing features; it is not a diagnostic device. No wearable, camera, or microphone is required.

The 60 GHz radar architecture is being developed to derive movement and breathing-pattern features for informational wellness estimates. Product-specific performance remains pending independent validation.

Privacy

Your sleep data
stays yours.

No PII stored on any device. All health data encrypted with AES-256-GCM in transit. Factory reset means cryptographic key destruction — not just data deletion.

GDPR Article 9 compliant for sleep health data in app and cloud. Your data is never sold or shared with third parties.

AES-128-CTR at Rest

Hardware-accelerated encryption on all onboard data. No plaintext ever written to flash.

AES-256-GCM in Transit

Application-layer encryption for all health data transferred between device and phone.

BLE Secure Connections

Numeric Comparison pairing prevents man-in-the-middle attacks during device setup.

Cryptographic Erase

Factory reset destroys the encryption key — data becomes permanently unrecoverable.

Audio

Sound Through the Airstream

The Aura is being designed with an internal speaker that channels audio through the same diffused-airstream architecture used for HEPA-filtered airflow. Final acoustic dispersion and partner-disturbance performance remain subject to testing.

Adaptive playback is an engineering target: the system is being designed to adjust volume and content using EchoLoom™ wellness estimates and user preferences. Final behavior remains pending validation.

Noise Colour Library

Pink NoiseEqual energy per octave and commonly selected for its softer, lower-frequency balance.
Brown NoiseDeeper, warmer, and lower-pitched than white noise. Preferred by those who find higher frequencies too sharp.
White NoiseEqual energy across all frequencies. The classic broadband masking sound for blocking environmental disturbances.
Purple NoiseHigh-frequency emphasis — useful for masking sharp, intermittent sounds like traffic or city noise.

Plus nature soundscapes, lullabies, children's stories, guided wind-downs, and breathing sessions — continuously expanding via the Cozy app.

DawnLoom™ Wake Light
Spectrum Target

DawnLoom™ Blue-Spectrum Wake Light

The Aura's built-in blue-spectrum LED is designed to support a gradual, gentle wake transition. Published research associates morning blue-spectrum light exposure with circadian signaling. Product-specific physiological effects have not yet been independently validated for this device.

DawnLoom™ is being designed to provide an adjustable gradual-brightening routine near a scheduled wake time. Future adaptive timing using EchoLoom™ wellness estimates remains under development and does not guarantee alertness, sleep-stage timing, or a physiological outcome.

Blue-Spectrum Design

Published light research informs the concept. Final wavelength, intensity, and photobiological-safety specifications remain subject to engineering verification.

Gradual Wake Transition

A gradually brightening blue-spectrum light designed to support a gentler morning transition. Final product-specific effects are subject to independent validation.

No Guaranteed Outcome

The gradual-light routine is a wellness feature and is not claimed to reduce sleep inertia or produce a specific physiological or cognitive result.

Scheduled from the Cozy App

Designed to support configurable wake time, ramp duration, brightness, and weekday or weekend schedules. Adaptive timing remains a development target.

The Cozy App

Your nightly wellness context.

The Cozy app is being designed to present estimated nighttime patterns and environmental context. EchoLoom™ outputs are informational, pending validation, and not diagnostic.

Estimated Nighttime Timeline

A concept visualization of estimated sleep-state patterns and movement context. It is not a clinical hypnogram and does not establish precise stage duration.

Multi-Room Support

The Cozy app supports multiple Aura devices. Place one in each bedroom for whole-home air purification — each unit operates independently with its own schedule and settings, all managed from a single app.

Historical Wellness Trends

The app is being designed to present estimated nighttime patterns and environmental readings over time without claiming diagnosis, clinical accuracy, or guaranteed improvement.

Estimated Nighttime Timeline Concept
Concept Cozy app timeline showing wellness-oriented estimated nighttime patterns

Concept only: estimated nighttime patterns for informational wellness use. Not a clinical hypnogram; validation is pending.

Multi-Room Environmental Controls

App concept: manage each Aura’s air-purification, audio, scent, and wake-light settings from one account.

Children’s-room use is limited to air purification and optional audio. Child sleep monitoring is not offered or marketed.

Adaptive Intelligence

Designed to Learn Preferences
Without Making Diagnostic Claims.

“The Aura is being designed to use adult wellness estimates and environmental readings to personalize supported settings over time. Performance, learning periods, and adaptive behavior remain pending validation.”

Your controls

configure supported audio, lighting, scent, and air-purification preferences in the Cozy app.

Wellness context

review estimated adult nighttime patterns alongside environmental readings; not for diagnosis or treatment.

Development status

personalization behavior, data retention, and performance claims will be finalized and validated before release.

How It Compares

One Device, Multiple Problems Resolved.

The Aura is being designed to combine sleep-zone air conditioning, audio, wake lighting, aromatherapy, and wellness-oriented estimates in one bedside system. Product-specific comparative performance remains pending independent validation.
