It is known that the project "Smart pillow to support sleep" is a fairly new topic and has not been implemented in Vietnam. The advantage of this pillow is that it has 3 features such as creating sound, emitting fragrance, creating a meditative breathing rhythm to help people with sleep disorders fall asleep easily and sleep well.
As planned, tomorrow morning (March 12), the Organizing Committee will announce the awards and projects selected to participate in the International Science and Technology Competition.
