ARTICLE SUMMARY:
The importance of a good night’s sleep is often overlooked, to the detriment of patients‘ health and the economy. However, clinical sleep assessment tools remain out of reach for most. Beddr Sleep offers a small device worn on the forehead that records multiple kinds of physiological data during sleep for an AI app to synthesize and inform predictive tips aimed at improving subsequent nights' slumber.
According to the Rand Corporation, a third of Americans don’t get enough sleep on a regular basis, leading to economic losses upwards of $411 billion, the equivalent of 1.23 million lost work days. In fact, employers across the nation and beyond are realizing that the greatest driver of lost productivity, absenteeism, and poor decision making among their employees is sleep-related.
