HoneyNaps, a developer of sleep-monitoring systems, introduces its next-gen wireless polysomnography (PSG) system that combines patch-based skin sensors with artificial intelligence-driven analysis. Polysomnography is a multi-parameter type of sleep study and diagnostic tool used in sleep medicine.
Conventional PSG usually requires patients to spend a night in a hospital, connected to more than 24 wired sensors placed across the face, chest, abdomen, and legs. A complex setup, this restricts patient movement and causes discomfort. Also, sleeping in an unfamiliar environment may also affect patients’ usual sleep patterns, making it difficult to capture pertinent data.
Addressing these limitations, HoneyNaps’ Wireless PSG system consists of just four compact skin patches: a head sensor, chest sensor, body sensor, and leg sensor. Simply put, they consolidate the functions of numerous wired sensors into a single wearable platform.
Once attached, the patches capture the primary physiological signals necessary for PSG without cables. These include electroencephalography (EEG), electrooculography (EOG), electrocardiography (ECG), electromyography (EMG), respiratory airflow, blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂), body position, and physical activity.
The PSG system’s capabilities rely on a six-layer flexible printed circuit board design, an integrated a/d converter, wireless noise-reduction, and electrostatic discharge protection to maintain signal quality during extensive monitoring. Also, a low-power design enables use in both hospital and home settings.
Data from the wireless skin sensors integrates with SOMNUM, the company’s AI-powered sleep analysis software that automatically analyzes critical sleep indicators. By automating parts of labor-intensive scoring and interpretation, the platform can help medical professionals review sleep studies more efficiently.
The system also incorporates edge-computing technology to process large volumes of data in real time while supporting integration with healthcare institutions’ management systems. For further information, visit the HoneyNaps USA website.
