In 15 months, a team of 14 core and several guest collaborators for 1.7 million US$ must do: 

 

- Assemble 12 working prototypes of single and double rocking beds with audio-visual stimulation (AVS) devices from standard purchased elements, test them and select the optimal MVP.

 

- To design the main components of the rocking bed and AVS devices using own and external resources.

 

- To develop software for rocking bed components, algorithms, controller, interfaces.

 

- Conduct consumer research, collect information for future research, analyze results and draw valid conclusions.

 

- Draw conclusions about the effectiveness of vestibular stimulation, synchronized multi-sensory stimulation, Bedy Active Breath technology for different user groups for falling asleep, night and daytime sleep, relaxation and sex.

 

- Determine the expected demand for the products, their necessary, sufficient and redundant functions, positive and negative factors affecting demand, the main groups of consumers, their expectations and effective communication channels with them.

 

- To collect the first batch of valid commercial samples of single and double rocking beds with flat and adjustable mattresses.
