Amazon is reportedly working on a new Alexa-enabled bedside device that does more than soothe you to sleep with white noise or wake you up with an alarm. The device could assess how well you’re actually sleeping.
Business Insider reported this week that the small device that it has exclusively learned about will be used to detect and track sleep apnea.
According to people familiar with the project, contactless technology will be used to monitor the sleeping disorder using “millimeter-wave radar to track sleeping and breathing patterns of individual users and detect subtleties in their movements that could come from stoppages of breathing associated with sleep apnea.”
