BOSTON — HoneyNaps has developed a wireless polysomnography system that uses four skin patches and artificial intelligence to collect and analyze sleep data.
The company said the system is designed to replace more than 24 wired sensors commonly used in conventional polysomnography, or PSG, with four compact patches placed on the head, chest, body and leg.
Polysomnography is widely used to diagnose sleep disorders such as sleep apnea, but traditional testing typically requires patients to spend the night in a clinical setting while connected to numerous sensors. HoneyNaps said its wireless approach is intended to improve patient comfort and make sleep testing more efficient.
The four patches can capture physiological signals including electroencephalography, electrooculography, electrocardiography, electromyography, respiratory airflow, blood oxygen saturation, body position and physical activity.
HoneyNaps said the system incorporates a six-layer flexible printed circuit board, an integrated analog-to-digital converter and sensor architecture, wireless noise-reduction technology and electrostatic discharge protection to maintain signal quality during extended monitoring.
The platform is also designed for low-power operation and could eventually be used for both hospital-based and home sleep testing.
Data collected through the wireless sensors are integrated with SOMNUM, HoneyNaps’ AI-powered sleep analysis software. The software analyzes sleep stages, sleep apnea events, arousals and periodic limb movements during sleep.
The company said the system can automate portions of the sleep-study scoring and interpretation process while using edge-computing technology to process physiological data in real time and support integration with hospital management systems.
HoneyNaps has also developed other sleep technologies, including SOMNUM Scanning, a contactless sleep-sensing pad, single-channel EEG technology, AI-based sleep diagnostic software and a digital therapeutic for insomnia.
“By bringing patch-based wireless skin sensors and AI-powered analysis together in a single platform, our Wireless PSG system improves both patient convenience and diagnostic efficiency for medical professionals, while laying the foundation for HoneyNaps to expand its presence in the global sleep diagnostics market,” said Sean Ha, President of HoneyNaps USA.
