Sleep Number Corporation, a sleep wellness technology company, announced it will present new research at SLEEP 2024 in Houston. Findings will show results of four studies leveraging smart bed data collected in a real-world, home environment, and the Smart Sleeper Panel, a cohort of more than 468,000 Sleep Number smart bed sleepers who’ve opted to participate in sleep science research.
These studies further demonstrate the research capabilities of Sleep Number smart beds to understand the impact of sleep on health and advance sleep science without an in-lab sleep study. Sleep Number’s wellness technology platform, used by global research institutions, plus its 26 billion hours’ worth of highly accurate sleep and biosignal data from millions of smart sleepers could, in the future, revolutionize the way sleepers screen for health risks at home. They can also simplify the way healthcare providers detect and monitor sleep disorders.
“Sleep Number is continuously introducing data-driven approaches for improved sleep and health care outcomes,” said Annie Bloomquist, Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer, Sleep Number. “Our smart bed ecosystem and one-of-a-kind research capabilities can link our data into clinical practices. We anticipate that our continued advancements in the field of sleep research will revolutionize the way chronic sleep disorders and other health conditions are identified, diagnosed and monitored.”
Highlights of the new research include:
Snoring and obstructive sleep apnea associations through the lens of a smart bed platform
Influence of sleep regularity, chronotype, and sleep duration on daytime sleepiness caused by sleep disorders
Is snoring associated with lower sleep quality? If yes, does that association depend on treated or untreated sleep apnea?
Unobtrusive detection of heart-rate-dipping during sleep based on force sensors in a smart bed
