Losing Sleep Over Sleep Monitoring? (Wearable Europe 2019)

Sleep plays a vital role in your wellbeing and overall health. According to Forbes, the smart wearables market is expected to be $27B by 2022. With consumers embracing wearables, a majority of these wearables will attempt to monitor sleep. Accurate sleep monitoring can have both short-term and long-term impacts on people's lives including the ability to detect sleep apnea, prevent chronic diseases and heart attacks.

 

However, monitoring sleep accurately poses several challenges - what to measure, how to measure effectively and which form factors are effective. The session will explore low power and highly integrated sensors that are critical to designing wearables and also discuss effective form factors to exploit this market.
