Radiofrequency and Micro-Movements Studying Sleep without Disrupting it in the ProcessRoy Raymann, PhDSleepScore Labs

When we don\u2019t get a good night\u2019s sleep, we can usually tell simply by the way we feel the next day\u2014we\u2019re tired, unproductive, unable to think clearly, etc. But it\u2019s much harder to pinpoint why we didn\u2019t sleep well, or at what point during the night things went wrong. And while there are a number of \u201csleep trackers\u201d on the market which promise to deliver useful data on our sleep patterns, the only true measurement of sleep\u2014or at least the gold standard for objectively measuring sleep\u2014involves multiple sensors attached to the body, which disrupts comfort, and therefore disrupts sleep. What if there was a different solution\u2014one that didn\u2019t involve physical contact with the body at all, but could still capture, analyze, and make sense of all the data associated with sleep? Now there is. Roy Raymann, Ph.D., joins the podcast to discuss a new technology 13 years in the making that could forever change how we collect sleep data.\xa0\xa0


He\u2019s the Vice President of Sleep Science and Scientific Affairs at SleepScore Labs, and he brings over 25 years\u2019 worth of research experience to the table. Dr. Raymann discusses all the details of this new technology, which utilizes radio waves (sound waves), algorithmic operations, and data processing to not only capture the micro-movements we make during sleep, but also analyze and make sense of them. Perhaps the best part is that it doesn\u2019t require contact with the body at all, which means sleep won\u2019t be disturbed by the sensors and wires that were previously used to study it.
