Traditional sleep tracking technology operates on the assumption that physical attachment to the body ensures accuracy, with devices like rings, watches, and patches designed for close contact. However, sleep itself is an uncontrolled state where movements, position changes, and environmental shifts occur naturally, creating variables that undermine the consistency of wearable sensors. These devices, which rely on optical sensors, accelerometers, and skin-based measurements, can produce data influenced by factors like strap tightness, rotation, temperature, and moisture, leading to accumulated inconsistencies over time that obscure true sleep patterns.
SOMNDEEP challenges this paradigm with its Contactless Smart Sleep Monitor, which uses millimeter-wave radar technology to detect breathing rhythms and micro-movements from a fixed position without touching the body. By eliminating physical attachment, the device avoids the variables that wearables introduce, such as sensor displacement or skin-contact fluctuations, ensuring stable sensing conditions night after night. This approach prioritizes consistency and repeatability, which are critical for accurate long-term sleep analysis, rather than relying solely on proximity or sensitivity.
The monitor operates within a defined sensing range, maintaining a constant spatial relationship to the sleeper to provide a cleaner, more reliable signal. Radar technology detects subtle physical motions in space, unaffected by surface-level conditions like sweat or skin tone, allowing it to focus on breathing consistency, motion continuity, and behavioral trends. For users, this means no need to wear or adjust devices before bed, reducing discomfort and data gaps from forgotten wearables, while enabling more trustworthy interpretation of sleep changes over time.
This innovation matters because it redefines accuracy in sleep monitoring, shifting from a focus on sensor attachment to one of environmental stability. By observing sleep from outside the body, SOMNDEEP offers a solution that aligns with how people actually sleep—unpredictably and without adaptation to technology—potentially leading to more reliable wellness insights. The device is designed for general wellness use and is not a medical device.
