Platform for Sleep Monitoring

0I5A6285The platform provided by Sewon Intelligence monitors health status 24 hours a day in real time using wearable sensors and sensors in products in preparation for the era of new normal, such as non-face-to-face, telecommuting, and online lectures.

It is a real-time health monitoring system that informs and manages users of health status monitoring results and provides measured data to doctors when visiting hospitals to enable more accurate diagnosis. Sewon Intelligence is a company that is responsible for preventive health by continuously monitoring personal health anywhere, anytime. How well do you know your sleeping habits? In fact, it is not easy to grasp various habits during sleep by yourself, such as snoring badly while sleeping, waking up frequently, or moving your body unconsciously while sleeping. However, in order to maintain a pleasant physical condition during the day, it is necessary to identify sleep patterns and tame lifestyle habits accordingly.

Of course, those who cannot sleep well due to sleep diseases such as insomnia, REM sleep exercise disorder, and sleep apnea need a thorough examination. For an accurate diagnosis, the hospital conducts polysomnography. But this test takes a lot of time and money. Since it is an inspection performed while sleeping, it usually takes from 8 p.m. to 7 a.m. the next day, including the time to attach the inspection equipment to the whole body. The waiting time for the examination is also considerable. When patients were crowded, it sometimes took more than six months to wait. Although the burden on patients has decreased since the insurance was applied, the cost of testing is still considerable in the late 100,000 won range. In addition, the polysomnography test is covered by insurance only for patients with sleep apnea, so they cannot receive insurance benefits when they are tested for insomnia or REM sleep exercise disorder.

If you are simply curious about your sleeping habits or want to prevent diseases, you don’t have to take a polysomnography test. However, it is true that there is no suitable device to measure sleep activities on its own. Of course, there are wearable devices such as Fitbit and Apple Watch on the market, but the information provided by these devices is less accurate. In other words, it is not highly correlated with the polysomnography results. While polysomnography comprehensively measures and diagnoses various information such as brain waves, eye movements, electromyography, heart rate information, and breathing, this device is based only on heart rate information.

In addition, there is a disadvantage that existing wearable devices must always be worn on the wrist.In order to measure sleeping habits, you need to accumulate data for a long time, but it is cumbersome to wear a device every day when you sleep. Sleep tech monitoring company (Sewon Intelligence) has not only advanced contactless breathing measurement technology to compensate for this inconvenience and low accuracy of existing wearable devices, but also introduced artificial intelligence (AI) in breathing sound, abdomen and chest movement information.There is various information available through actual respiration measurements. If you can identify breathing during sleep, you can also identify symptoms related to sleep diseases such as snoring and sleep apnea to some extent in advance. This is because when you snore or can’t fall into deep sleep, your breathing changes or gets tangled. Sewon Intelligence’s AI technology allows users to estimate their sleeping habits through micro-recorded breathing sounds during sleep, that is, breathing sounds, on smartphones or AI speakers. Based on the Wi-Fi wireless signal, it also captures the movement of the user’s abdomen and chest.

In order to obtain relevant information, polysomnography requires test equipment to be attached to the chest and abdomen, but if you use the technology, you can measure it at home without contact. Above all, Sewon Intelligence has significantly increased the accuracy of measurement and analysis using AI technology. This is the result of elaborately learning the subtle differences that vary from stage to stage of sleep with the A-slip AI device next to it during the actual polysomnography. In fact, the technology possessed by Sewon Intelligence is nearly 90 percent consistent with the results of the polysomnography test.

This is a high level of accuracy compared to Fitbit, which is considered the most accurate device in academia with wearable sleep analysis. You don’t even have to wear it. As I said earlier, continuous sleep monitoring is needed to improve sleep habits. Even after being diagnosed with sleep disease, constant management is essential. Sewon Intelligence aims to take the lead in providing easy and comfortable, but accurate measurements in a non-contact manner during long sleep hours. Just like checking your weight on a scale, I look forward to the day when home sleeping devices that can check your sleep activities from time to time can be widely used.
