PPG Analysis to treat sleep apnea
Unmet Need
Sleep Aponea affects millions of people worldwide. It is characterized by difficulty in falling asleep, staying asleep, or waking up too early, resulting in non-restorative sleep. Despite its high prevalence, especially in older adults and individuals with chronic illnesses, insomnia is often underdiagnosed and untreated.
Proposed Solution
SleepAI is developing an algorithm for monitoring respiratory arrest through analysis of the PPG signal. The research began at ‘Technion’ through leading researchers for data analysis using artificial intelligence. The company intends to implement the algorithm in wearable off-the-shelf devices (such as Apple’s watch, Google, Samsung, Garmin, etc.) and to make OSA monitoring accessible at home.
