Our Story

Proven science.
No product. Until now.

A proven technique. No product. This is the story behind NOVA.

I found a neuroscience technique called Targeted Memory Reactivation — validated in journals like Nature and Science for over a decade. It improves how your brain consolidates memory during sleep. Nobody had productized it.

That was a year ago. I've designed the hardware, written the firmware, trained the ML models, and built the iOS app. Heading to Vanderbilt Engineering this fall.

"The science existed. The product didn't. That's the whole reason NOVA exists."

Our Foundation

Effort should compound, not decay.

Three principles hold everything up.

Philosophy

Science First

Every decision starts with peer-reviewed research. No pseudoscience. No shortcuts. If the data doesn't support it, we don't build it.

Privacy

Your Data Stays Yours

All computation happens on-device. Your raw sleep data never leaves the device. Zero cloud dependencies.

Design

Built to Disappear

Lightweight. No electrodes. No gel. Designed so you forget you're wearing it — which is exactly the point.

Development

From research to prototype.

Q4 2025

Research & Validation

Deep dive into TMR literature. Identified the key mechanisms that make sleep-based memory reinforcement work.

Q1 2026

Prototype Design

Industrial design for Nova One. Sensor placement, haptic array layout, bone conduction positioning.

Q2 2026

On-Device ML Pipeline

Building the intelligence layer. Sleep stage detection, cue timing optimization, and the adaptive personalization system.

In progress
Q3 2026

Hardware Integration & Testing

Combine NovaFlow with physical hardware. Begin internal sleep testing.

Q4 2026

Beta Program

Invite early waitlist members to test Nova One. Gather real-world sleep data.

2027

Public Launch

Ship Nova One to everyone. Companion app release.

This isn't a side project.
This is what happens when you build.

Be among the first to experience sleep-reinforced memory.
