SEOUL: Korean company Samsung has introduced a new device that tracks sleep called SleepSense.
According to the Verge, the device is ping-pong paddle-shaped and it goes under the mattress to monitor the users in the night, using piezo sensors to detect vibrations. Samsung claims that by this method the device can measure a user’s heart rate, respiration and movement with 97 percent accuracy
The SleepSense connects via low-energy Bluetooth to the user’s smartphone and delivers daily sleep reports every morning, which includes a ‘sleep score’ out of 80 that Samsung says allows the users to quickly quantify how good their sleep was and compare different days, weeks and months.
