Sleep Sensor Hides Beneath the Mattress
The company Bam Labs created a sensor pad tracksvheart rate, breathing, and sleep movements along with other health measures from underneath the mattress.
The sensors are in the form of a thin, self-inflating mattress pad. A sensor at one corner of the pad measures fluctuations in the air like tiny tremors caused from heartbeats or bigger movements. The information is then sent wirelessly to the Internet, wto a system connected to the internet data to company servers that interpret heartbeats, breaths, and movements. Information can be viewed mobile phone or online dashboards, both of which show trends over time and calculate measures like quality and duration of sleep.
The article states this will help individuals with health and other needs.
