In the literature it is believed that more than 1 billion people worldwide experience some kind of chronic nasal congestion or snoring and sleep apnea. Interestingly, 70% of these persons don't discuss about their troubles with their doctor even if it is known that disorders like sleep apnea can lead to severe consequences if left untreated.
According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), there is a lack of comprehensive database that defines normal sleep-wake patterns based on age or gender. Moreover, current quantification methods of breathing abnormalities are cumbersome and expensive. As a result, there is a great need for new methods that can non-invasively monitor sleep and respiration to quantify breathing problems and their consequences.
==== ""Zeo"": Device Tracks How You're Sleeping====
The Zeo Personal Sleep Coach, developed by a startup headquartered in Newton, MA, is the first at-home device that allows people to track their sleep cycles over time. With a simple headband recording system,the device represents a neat feat of engineering.
==== ""FitBit"": Self Surveillance: A new device tracks activity and sleep patterns 24-7====
The simple pedometer has been given a makeover. Fitbit, a startup based in San Francisco, has built a small, unobtrusive sensor that tracks a person's movement 24 hours a day to produce a record of her steps taken, her calories burned, and even the quality of her sleep. Data is wirelessly uploaded to the Web so that users can monitor their activity and compare it with that of their friends.
==== ""BiancaMed"": Wireless Sleep Analyser====
BiancaMed has developed a technology that can track and analyze a person's sleep and night-breathing patterns without disturbing the sleeper, said CTO Philip de Chazal. In contrast with some sleep analysis systems used in laboratories, the person doesn't need to wear electrodes or lie on a plastic pad. Instead, a wireless device tracks the sleeper's movements.
==== ""EPFL"": An adaptive wearable device for monitoring sleep and preventing fatigue:====
Fatigue is a major source of stress and accidents in today's world, but there are no objective ways of monitoring and preventing the build-up of fatigue. In this project, we start by developing a non-intrusive, wearable device for monitoring sleep and wake phases. A version of the sleep/wake device will be tested within the framework of the pilot has to be alert during the entire flight. Our device can be used to predict the pilots fatigue and to calculate his optimal break times.
==== ""GE Healthcare"": Seamless integration of sleep apnea measurement into the Holter workflow====
Companies Recognize Need for Solution to Diagnose Sleep Apnea in Cardiovascular Inpatients, GE Healthcare and WideMed, Ltd., based in Israel, announced an initiative to integrate WideMed's Morpheus Hx into a solution for the diagnosis of sleep apnea in cardiovascular inpatients.
==== ""IMEC"": Clinical Validation of Wireless Sleep Staging System====
The miniaturized wireless system allows patients to wear the device in the comfort of their home, thus enabling early screening of abnormal sleep profiles outside clinics. The sleep staging system has been validated in the sleep laboratory at the University Hospital Center (CHU) in Charleroi, Andre Vesale Hospital (Belgium), against a commercially available reference system. With this validation, the technology is ready for product development at industry opening new perspectives for remote and comfortable sleep monitoring.
Within the IMEC and Holst Centre aim to develop solutions for an efficient and better healthcare. Wireless sensor nodes in intelligent body area networks may provide more comfortable healthcare systems by enabling home monitoring of patients. Home monitoring does not only increase the comfort of the patient, it is also a cost-efficient solution for expensive and time-consuming monitoring in hospitals.
==== ""IPMS"": Mobile system SleepBee for sleep diagnostics====
Together with partners from Saxony the Fraunhofer IPMS has developed a new mobile sleep diagnosis system called SleepBee, which was also designed for the application in the patient's own bed. Primarily it is intended for preliminary examinations, although all 14 signals specified by the DGSM (German Sleep Society) are recorded and evaluated. The user can undergo the examination during the sleep in his/her own bed. Due to the familiar environment there is no adaptation phase to be considered, as it is required in sleep laboratories owing to the different surroundings.
The system consists of 5 concentrators (head, chest, arm, legs), which are fastened to the body. The concentrators record the signals and transfer them wirelessly to the base station.

Additions:
The miniaturized wireless system allows patients to wear the device in the comfort of their home, thus enabling early screening of abnormal sleep profiles outside clinics. The sleep staging system has been validated in the sleep laboratory at the University Hospital Center (CHU) in Charleroi, Andre Vesale Hospital (Belgium), against a commercially available reference system. With this validation, the technology is ready for product development at industry opening new perspectives for remote and comfortable sleep monitoring.
==== ""IPMS"": Mobile system SleepBee for sleep diagnostics====
Together with partners from Saxony the Fraunhofer IPMS has developed a new mobile sleep diagnosis system called SleepBee, which was also designed for the application in the patient's own bed. Primarily it is intended for preliminary examinations, although all 14 signals specified by the DGSM (German Sleep Society) are recorded and evaluated. The user can undergo the examination during the sleep in his/her own bed. Due to the familiar environment there is no adaptation phase to be considered, as it is required in sleep laboratories owing to the different surroundings.
The system consists of 5 concentrators (head, chest, arm, legs), which are fastened to the body. The concentrators record the signals and transfer them wirelessly to the base station. **[[[http://www.ipms.fhg.de/common/products/LIF/Med/musetelemed-e.pdf 5]]]**

Additions:
The Zeo Personal Sleep Coach, developed by a startup headquartered in Newton, MA, is the first at-home device that allows people to track their sleep cycles over time. With a simple headband recording system, the device represents a neat feat of engineering. **[[[http://www.technologyreview.com/biomedicine/23077/ 8]]]**

Additions:
In the literature it is believed that more than 1 billion people worldwide experience some kind of chronic nasal congestion or snoring and sleep apnea. Interestingly, 70% of these persons don't discuss about their troubles with their doctor even if it is known that disorders like sleep apnea can lead to severe consequences if left untreated.

Fatigue is a major source of stress and accidents in today's world, but there are no objective ways of monitoring and preventing the build-up of fatigue. [�]In this project, we start by developing a non-intrusive, wearable device for monitoring sleep and wake phases. A version of the sleep/wake device will be tested within the framework of [[www.solar-impulse.com Solar Impulse]], where the pilot has to be alert during the entire flight. Our device can be used to predict the pilots fatigue and to calculate his optimal break times. **[[[http://lis.epfl.ch/index.html?content=research/projects/SolarImpulse/ 2]]]**
