The first product, moonbird, is a compact device based on scientifically proven principles and helps people to relax, become calmer and fall asleep faster.

Why Akiles invested :
"It is striking to see how many people struggle with stress, anxiety, sleep problems and burn-out. Breathing techniques are simultaneously found in many curative and preventive therapies such as mindfulness. Moonbird combines data with an innovative device that allows you to find peace in the most intuitive way possible."
