Slip under your mattress, this device precisely analyzes the different phases of your nights and more. Thanks to the integrated sensors, several parameters are taken into account.

For 18 months, Withings has been working to validate the medical grade of health home sleep apnea detection without user intervention. They are the first in the world to allow the detection of apnea – medically certified – at health home. The advancement of the product therefore lies in the new medical function (software). Exceptionally, current users will receive a free update to this medical software.

Withings collaborated with hospitals in the design of the Sleep Analyzer in order to have the finest possible measurements. The sensor fits very well into the medical diagram to best assist doctors. In addition, the app brings real sleep tracking that helps motivate patients by seeing their improvements by real time.

Without the medical side of sleep apnea analysis but with a lot of other data also grouped together in one application.

What are the differences between the Nokia Sleep / Withings Sleep ($ 99.95) vs Withings Sleep Analyzer ($ 129.95)?

In 2018, a variation of the Withings sleep sensor was released under the name Nokia Sleep then Withings Sleep. The fundamentals were there: namely a sensor to be placed under a mattress and the application to see the data on his sleep. But without CE certification (and therefore considerable software improvement) to detect sleep apnea. This medically & software exceptional software update is reflected in the final retail price of the product ($ 129.95 vs. $ 99.95). It remains affordable while being the most advanced on the market in its category.

The smart health connected watches, more embarrassing, also have features to analyze your sleep. Even though the data from these wearables is often not as precise as with a sleep sensor.
