True Story: I first met Jason Jacobs of Runkeeper at a South End breakfast spot a few years ago. At that time Runkeeper was just an iPhone app that tracked your runs (now it’s a comprehensive fitness platform) and Zeo had yet to be released. Oddly enough, during that breakfast (or many thereafter) I hardly gave [...]

Back in the fall, we started up a little Q&A Service as a way of answering the myriad of questions our Zeo users had about sleep. The way it all worked went something like this: You had a question about sleep like “why exactly do we sleep?” You sent it to us via this handy-dandy [...]

When Zeo launched in 2009, you all started to tell us about what you expected. Specifically, you raised the issue of data privacy.

We specifically created the sleep wheel to help you contextualize all the data you see every morning; otherwise, it would all be just a bunch [...]

Here at Zeo, we get frequent love notes on how comfortably Zeo measures brainwaves (aw, shucks). We also get frequent notes–often attached to the first one–requesting direct access to those brainwaves. Well, the wait is over. We’re done playing hard-to-get.

Apple and Google are fighting a battle for your mobile phone–quite possibly the most valuable piece of real estate a tech company can hope to own. In many ways this fight is about more that screen design or processing capacity. By far the biggest question in the Apple v Google war is whether or not [...]

Working in Customer Service, I’m often asked to explain the Sleep Graph and the Pie Chart that shows up in a user’s myZeo account. A common question goes something like this: What’s the difference between the Sleep Graph and the Pie Chart? If it’s the same data in each, why have two graphs? Sleep History [...]
