Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) today introduced Halo Rise—a new,
multi-purpose bedside tracker dedicated to helping improve your
sleep. Halo Rise uses built-in sensor technology, quietly working
in the background to provide highly accurate insights and
personalized sleep analysis. It comes with six months of Halo
membership for $139.99 and will ship later this year. Learn more at
www.amazon.com/halorise.
“Quality sleep is an incredibly important factor in our overall
health and well-being. In today’s busy world, getting more and
better sleep is one of the areas that customers ask us about the
most, which is why we’re tackling sleep head on,” said Melissa Cha,
vice president of Amazon Smart Home and Health. “Halo Rise is
designed to work intelligently in the background and give you an
entirely new and effortless way to manage your sleep and achieve
sleep-life harmony.”
Innovative Ambient Technology
Powered by contactless, low-energy sensor technology and machine
learning, Halo Rise accurately senses respiration and movement
patterns to determine your sleep stages throughout the night. It
uses a sleep algorithm that has been trained and validated against
overnight polysomnography—the clinical gold standard for sleep
analysis. Halo Rise harnesses powerful ambient technology that’s
always ready, automatically starting your sleep session when you
get into bed with no buttons to press or batteries to charge. After
you wake, you’ll receive a detailed sleep summary, including a
graph showing time spent in each sleep phase—REM, light, and deep
sleep—along with a sleep score and information about your sleep
environment. Learn more about the technology that powers Halo Rise
at www.amazon.science.
Sleep Smarter, Sleep Better
Great sleep is influenced by a number of factors, including your
room’s environment and how you wake up. Built-in environmental
sensors measure your room’s temperature, humidity, and light levels
throughout the night. It integrates with the Amazon Halo app, which
provides science-backed recommendations on how to optimize the
room’s sleep environment. In the morning, a wake-up light simulates
the colors and gradual brightening of a sunrise, creating a natural
and gentle wake experience, while the smart alarm monitors your
sleep stages and wakes you at the ideal time for getting up,
helping you to start the day feeling rested and alert.
“Sleep is a central pillar of good health, and the benefits of
consistent, sufficient sleep are well-documented, touching on
nearly every aspect of our mental and physical well-being,” said
Dr. Carolyn D’Ambrosio, associate professor of medicine at Yale
School of Medicine. “Yet research shows that one in three adults
don’t get enough sleep. With its comprehensive approach, Halo Rise
is leading the future of sleep technology.”
Better Together with Alexa
Halo Rise works even better with Alexa, making it easier to
check your sleep insights and personalize your sleep experience.
For example, use a compatible Echo device to ask Alexa how you
slept, sync Alexa with the Halo Rise smart alarm to be woken up by
your favorite song, or combine Halo Rise with other smart lights
that can be controlled using just your voice. You also have the
ability to use Halo Rise as part of a personalized Alexa Routine.
For instance, when you get into bed, Alexa can automatically dim
the lights in the bedroom, turn off the TV, and start a relaxing
meditation. Additionally, you can ask Alexa to pull up your sleep
data on Echo Show, with the last night’s sleep report viewable on
the device’s display.
Versatile and Sustainable Design
Halo Rise features a compact and multi-functional design that
sits on your bedside table. The device includes a digital clock, a
semi-circle of powerful 300 lux LEDs that form the wake-up light, a
small alarm speaker, environmental sensors, and buttons to activate
features. Those features include adjusting the light’s brightness
for reading, starting a sunset simulation, and snoozing your alarm.
With 100% recycled aluminum and 100% recyclable packaging, Halo
Rise is also certified as Climate Pledge Friendly.
One Service, Many Benefits
Halo Rise is the latest addition to Amazon Halo, which includes
an ever-expanding suite of innovative features and premium content
as part of the Halo membership that can help you eat nutritiously,
move more, and become more mindful—all factors that are shown to
impact quality of sleep. Available via the Halo app, existing
membership offerings for Halo Rise customers include:
- Discover: A growing catalog of sleep resources,
mindfulness programs, exercises, and meditations designed to help
you build healthy habits and discover what works best for your
individual health and wellness journey. These resources include

soundly.
- Fitness and Movement Health: Staying active and
improving physical movement, along with getting restorative sleep,
all help prepare the body to handle the demands of everyday life.
Using just a smartphone camera and the Halo app, Movement Health
uses computer vision and machine learning to assess mobility,
stability, and posture, then recommends a custom program of
corrective exercises and fitness content to help you be more
active.
- Nutrition: A balanced diet can positively impact your
sleep and is a critical part of overall well-being. With a library
of over 850 wholesome recipes from partners including WW, Lifesum,

data is not used for marketing, product recommendations, or

include cameras or microphones, and you have the option to manually
put Halo Rise into Standby mode, which turns off the sensor
technology that tracks sleep. Learn more at Amazon Halo Privacy.

of the features that provide transparency and control over the
Alexa experience—including the ability to review and manage your
voice recordings. Learn more about Amazon Alexa privacy features at
