SleepScore Labs to Use Wearables for Sleep Health

The team at Sleepscore Labs, one of the best sleep monitors I've seen so far, looks set to add a wearable to their device after the arrival of digital health company Sleep.ai.

Sleepscore Labs therefore intends to innovate and continue to deepen sleep health. Sleep.ai was founded in 2014. It is a digital health company based in the Netherlands which has developed a portable application capable of detecting the snoring or gnashing of users' teeth. This action is known as bruxism and with the ability to detect one or the other action. It can be used to help dentists monitoring patients after they have started dental treatment for these problems.

With this app, it is also possible to help detect sleep apnea, a sleep disorder that Fitbit hopes to be able to analyze with its wearables. The disease has serious side effects if it goes undetected, including an increased risk of hypertension and obesity.

Michiel Allessie will join the SleepScore Labs team as part of the acquisition.

Sleepscore Labs is the product of collaboration between sleep experts ResMed and Columbia University professor of surgery Dr. Mehmet Oz, who also hosts the radio program Daily Dose. Its newest device, the SleepScore Max, is a contactless sensor that sits on your bedside table and, in addition to monitoring sleep, can analyze things like lighting and room temperature, which can have an impact. on sleep.

In the coming months, it will be interesting to see how the Sleepscore team integrates Sleep.ai technology to improve its sleep health monitoring capabilities.
