Wearable Sensor

We’re a passionate group of people working to make sleeping safer.

We believe that everyone deserves a good night’s sleep. That’s why we’re building a wearable sensor that can detect sleep apnea, a common sleep disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. Our goal is to help people with sleep apnea avoid the health risks associated with the disorder.

OUR MISSION

Sleep Apnea is a common sleep disorder that affects millions of people worldwide. It can cause interruptions in breathing during sleep, which can lead to a number of health problems such as high blood pressure, heart attacks, and atrial fibrillation.

It is also associated with an increased risk of stroke, and it can even lead to death.
