Wethm aims to revolutionize sleepcare through biosignal technology

Welcome to Wethm, a distinguished brand under Mellowing Factory Co. Ltd., where improving your sleep is at the heart of everything we do. With a foundation in biomedical engineering, our initial endeavor is to transform your nights by making them less daunting. But that's just the beginning. Our grand vision is to progress from enhancing sleep quality to diagnosing sleep-related conditions, and ultimately to detecting critical emergencies such as heart attacks or strokes during sleep. Our first product, the Sleep Enhancer, is a monumental step in this ambitious journey. Your support is invaluable to us, and we encourage you to join hands with us as partners in realizing this vision.

Mellowing Factory Mission:
Health without hassle

Being healthy can be time-consuming. Going to the hospital can be difficult, and a yearly check-up may not be sufficient.

Prevention is always easier than treatment, but how can we detect potential health concerns as early as possible?

As someone who has studied biomedical engineering, I have always been fascinated with the socio-economics of medicine. Patients generally come to the hospital once there is a problem, and then doctors diagnose and treat the issue. This may be suitable for something like a cold, but it didn't seem like the optimal solution for certain conditions that progress over time.

During my Ph.D. studies, my research focus was on diagnosing blood pressure continuously using wearable devices. The problem was clear. It is often the case that people in their 30's do not regularly go to the doctor’s for a check-up, so one year their blood pressure might be normal, but then the next, they might be dianosed with high blood pressure. Even worse, issues related to single-measurements with a cuff could lead to misdiagnosis, and a hypertensive patient would not get the treatment required or a normal person would receive medication they did not need. Furthermore, it would be such a hassle to measure blood pressure every day, for something we are not sure is ever coming.

The mission of Mellowing Factory is to solve these issues. By measuring meaningful biosignals every day without a lifestyle change and analyzing the data with pattern recognition technology and clinical insight, we hope to bring a paradigm shift in medicine. For us, targeting sleep was the ideal starting point, as the human body is the most stable during sleep. Through innovating sleepcare, we will take steps to transforming healthcare.
