SEOUL, June 21 (Korea Bizwire) — Hyundai Engineering & Construction (Hyundai E&C) unveiled an artificial intelligence-based sleep environment solution on Thursday, as South Korea’s leading builder accelerates efforts to integrate wellness technologies into residential living.
The new system, dubbed “Hey, Sleep,” uses AI to analyze individual sleep patterns and automatically optimize environmental factors such as lighting, air quality, humidity, and sound to create a personalized sleep environment. The technology continuously learns from a user’s routines and biological rhythms, adjusting settings in real time. For example, if the system detects frequent tossing and turning during sleep, it may alter humidity levels or initiate ventilation based on the specific time and conditions.
The accumulated sleep data can be compiled into individualized reports and optionally shared among family members as part of broader health monitoring.
“Hey, Sleep” also includes wellness-oriented content: guided meditation, calming music, and breathing exercises before bedtime, as well as motivational audio messages and quotes to help users start their day positively.
Hyundai E&C’s solution is the first in South Korea to receive the “Good Sleep Mark Gold” certification, the highest rating awarded by the Korea Sleep Industry Association for excellence in sleep environment quality.
Developed in collaboration with healthcare tech firms specializing in sleep sensing and climate control, the system will be deployed in Hyundai E&C’s upcoming residential projects, including the redevelopment of Apgujeong District 2 in Seoul. The initiative is part of the company’s broader strategy to expand “Care-Living” — a residential concept that fuses smart home innovation with preventive health features.
“Our goal is to design homes that actively promote well-being,” a Hyundai E&C spokesperson said. “We plan to incorporate ‘Hey, Sleep’ into flagship developments, positioning sleep quality as a key element of future living.”
