CES 2025: Medical Technology between Daily Life and Clinic

iSleePad at CES 2025: Mini mattress and pillow monitor sleep

The Taiwanese Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) presented the iSleePad, a new solution for contactless sleep monitoring. The smart pad uses a special Low Power Microwave Sensor (LPMS) technology that precisely records heart rate, breathing and sleeping position without the need to wear sensors on the body. The transmission power of the μW Doppler microwaves is thousands of times lower than that of a smartphone, which eliminates any health risks. The system detects changes in position with over 95% accuracy and sends a real-time warning via a flexible, pressure-sensitive antenna if the patient unexpectedly leaves the bed.

Sleep monitoring for humans and animals

The iSleePad is intended in particular to monitor senior citizens or patients with health restrictions in care facilities. Carers and doctors benefit from the app-based long-term recording of physiological data, which enables a well-founded sleep analysis. An integrated Schumann resonance mode is also designed to promote deep sleep through low-frequency electromagnetic waves. The system can be easily installed on existing mattresses and is available both as a base and as a pillow. The ability to manage several iSleePads simultaneously is particularly relevant for clinical use. The contactless technology is suitable for all age groups, from infants to the elderly. Fun fact: It can even be used to analyze the sleep of animals.
