I built the app that turned a mattress into a sleep coach.

The Sleep Company's first AI product. IoT hardware + a mobile app powered by ML and GenAI — from zero to Rs4 crore in 12 months.

The market was wrong

about where the tracker should live.

The Problem

Wearable Fatigue

Sleep tracking is dominated by Fitbit, Oura, Apple Watch. Every one requires something on your body.

The Insight

Put the tracker in the bed.

If the mattress itself is the sensor, there's nothing to wear, charge, or remember. Zero friction. 100% passive.

The Problem · Hardware

Hard or Soft. Never Both.

The physical mattress is broken — you could buy a hard mattress or a soft one, never one that adjusted to your body. No half-and-half, no way to change your mind as per your body.

The Opportunity

Brand to Tech Company

The Sleep Company wanted to lead the category — that meant moving into technology, building for the future. SensAI was that: a new product category, a new revenue model, and a new position as a tech-first wellness brand.

The product suite

Two connected hardware products. One unified mobile experience.

SensAI Sleep Analyser
Movement Sensing Heart Rate Resp. Rate
Product 1

SensAI Sleep Analyser

Two form factors: a standalone flat tracker placed on the bed, and the SensAI Pillow (tracker embedded + dongle). Syncs biometric data to the app via Wi-Fi dongle overnight — fully passive, nothing on your body.

· Sleep stage tracking· Heart rate variability· Respiratory monitoring
SHOULDER BACK WAIST LUMBAR HIP LEG SensAI Mattress
Anti-Snore Mode 6-Zone AI Firmness Smart Wake-Up
Product 2

SensAI Mattress

ZonePro system with 6 pressure zones. AI-driven firmness adjusts in real-time to sleep position and body weight. Anti-Snore Mode uses acoustic sensors to detect snoring and automatically adjusts head position. Independent recline per side.

· Biometric IoT sensors· App-controlled· Premium D2C

What I owned

End-to-end. First wireframe to live App Store listing.

UI/UX Design

Every screen — Sleep Score, GenAI coach, onboarding, biometrics.

App Backend & IoT Integration

Real-time sensor-to-cloud pipeline that survives erratic home Wi-Fi.

Admin Dashboard

One tool for device telemetry, user analytics, and fleet-wide firmware updates.

App Store & Play Store Launch

Compliance, review, store copy — one synchronized iOS + Android launch.

Analytics & Experimentation

Telemetry, funnels, A/B framework, and user research from day one.

Post-Launch Maintenance

Bugs, iterations, firmware — improvement driven by real usage data.

PM Deep Dive

The intelligence layer

Where product thinking meets generative engineering.

PM Win #1 · Applied ML

The Proprietary Sleep Score

Four biometric streams, one number: 0–100. The hard part was defining what it means — and what to do about it.

HRV + respiratory rate + movement + sleep stage data synthesised into one trusted number

Ran 50+ user interviews and A/B tests to iterate on how the score is displayed and explained

Reduced false movement alerts by 40% through iterative firmware and app co-tuning

PM Win #2 · GenAI

Your Personal Sleep Coach

An LLM coaching you on your own night's data — with guardrails that keep it medically safe.

Yesterday vs today comparison — and a weekly trend view of your sleep patterns

Conversational: "You sleep 18 minutes less on weeknights — here's why that matters"

One of the earliest consumer GenAI features at a D2C brand in India at that time

SensAI Coach

Powered by AI · 6:02 AM

Your REM was 12% higher than last week — that's the cognitive restoration phase. Deep sleep was on point at 22%.

Your HRV was 4% below your 30-day average — a sign of mild fatigue accumulation. Tonight, try a 10-min wind-down at 10pm, no screens.

PM Win #3 · Experimentation

Iterated Until It Was Right

V1 tested poorly — users didn't know what to do with the number. 50+ interviews and structured A/B tests later, the UI was rebuilt from scratch.

40% fewer false movement alerts — iterative firmware + app co-tuning

Competitive teardown of Oura, Fitbit, Samsung Health, Apple Health

Cohort testing on how the score is displayed, explained, and acted upon

Version A

88

Plain number. No context. Users confused — "Is 88 good?"

Version B ✓

88

Ring + why + what to do = clear, actionable insight.

Shipped after multiple A/B test rounds across user cohorts
