New Study Shows Potential of Sleep Number 360 Smart Bed as a Trusted Device for Capturing Reliable Sleep Data from Home - Seite 2

SleepIQ technology is embedded into every 360 smart bed. Its proprietary, dynamic algorithm gathers billions of longitudinal biosignal and sleep data points from millions of real-world sleepers. The smart bed’s sensors unobtrusively measure average heart rate and breathing rate, motion, temperature and more, allowing the bed to learn and evolve with each sleeper. Using an embedded ballistocardiograph (BCG), signal processing and machine learning, the smart bed provides real-time measurement of several sleep metrics, including duration and quality. The sensors help to create a responsive and adjustable microenvironment for each individual and can effortlessly respond to a sleeper to keep them comfortable.

This study performed three analyses in evaluating sleep metrics measured by SleepIQ technology against PSG: the ability to measure all-night heart rate and breathing rate; the sensitivity of the smart bed for detecting sleep and specificity to detect wake stages; and the measurement of all-night summary metrics including sleep efficiency, sleep onset latency, total sleep time and wake after sleep onset. The study included 45 participants aged 22-64 who slept one night in a laboratory setting and underwent simultaneous PSG and SleepIQ recordings.

While PSG has traditionally been considered the gold standard for measuring sleep, it has its limitations. Because it is generally collected in a lab, information gathered by PSG may not reliably translate to real-life conditions. Although its use in longitudinally monitoring sleep in real-life conditions is possible, it is expensive, time consuming, discontinuous, and imposes a high burden on the sleeper. The 360 smart beds stand out not only because the embedded SleepIQ technology provides accurate, ecologically valid data collection, but because they are effortless to use - with no need to wear or charge anything - making them the first smart bed that requires no user action to monitor biosignals and automatically adjusts to improve sleep. The SleepIQ data gathered from the 360 smart beds also enables the collection of sleep metrics in large populations for longer periods of time than is feasible with PSG.
