Samsung’s SleepSense enables one to understand
one’s sleep patterns.

Samsung unveils new sleep monitor

AMMAN, September 15, 2015

Samsung Electronics has unveiled at the recent IFA 2015 in Berlin a new type of personal healthcare device that helps people improve the quality of their sleep.

Sleep is essential for our general wellbeing, but as busy and stressed professionals and parents, many of us struggle to achieve the recommended seven to nine hours sleep a night, putting our health at risk.

Too little sleep is associated with a host of very real problems, from weak performance and increased errors to a greater risk of accidents.

The new SleepSense enables one to quickly and easily understand one’s sleep patterns and learn how to improve it without having to seek advice, a statement said.

The sleep monitoring device uses patented technology to analyse your sleep quantity and quality, provides personalised sleep reports and gives you expert recommendations on how to improve your sleep - all through a mobile app.

Samsung SleepSense is easy to use: simply place the sensor under your mattress, download the SleepSense app to your mobile, connect the two, drift off to sleep, and SleepSense gets to work, the statement said.

SleepSense is an accurate sleep tracking sensor – with up to 97 per cent accuracy – available on the consumer market. With real-time contactless sensor it analyses heart and respiratory rates, plus your movement whilst you sleep, so every morning you receive a personalised sleep briefing – a summary of your sleep activity with your sleep score mapped against the average data for your age.

The sleep score is calculated based on seven elements; total sleep time, sleep efficiency, time it took to fall asleep, number of times you woke up, number of times you got out of bed, percentage of time in REM (rapid eye movement) and percentage of time in deep sleep.

Based on your individual sleep score, the app will also provide you with expert recommendations on how to improve it.

Samsung SleepSense can be connected to Samsung smart appliances, allowing you to control air conditioning units and to turn off the television when falling asleep – all designed to provide automatically an optimal sleeping environment.

The sensor can also be connected to the Samsung SmartThings app that controls many other devices in your home such as thermostats, security cameras, and light bulbs – all of which may affect or assist your sleeping conditions.

The Smart Alarm feature wakes you up gradually, by analysing the data collated from your sleep stages and identifying the best time for you to wake up.

For people concerned that their loved ones – for example elderly family members - suffer from a lack of sleep, SleepSense can help: simply put the sensor under their mattress and select the app’s ‘family care’ option to receive an analysis of the quality of their sleep via email. – TradeArabia News Service
