AuraSync: A Multifunctional Wellness Device for Enhancing Sleep, Relaxation, and Daily Productivity

Abstract

This study presents AuraSync, a multifunctional wellness device designed to address the rising prevalence of sleep-related issues among young adults aged 18 to 34. Developed for students and professionals navigating demanding routines, AuraSync integrates a diffuser, Bluetooth speaker, and an alarm clock into a single minimalist unit that enhances sleep quality, reduces stress, and promotes healthier daily habits. The design process followed a user-centered approach involving benchmarking via Pugh Matric, user surveys, and iterative prototyping inspired by sensory, nature-based, and minimalist design principles. User testing revealed the product’s effectiveness, with 90% of participants experiencing sleep difficulties and 85% expressing interest in a combined scent, sound, and light-based solution. Aligned with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 3,11, and 12, AuraSync contributes to personal well-being, supports compact urban living, and encourages responsible consumption. The findings indicate that AuraSync is a promising tool to support healthy lifestyles in modern environments.
