Researchers said the garment has an ‘ultrasensitive sensor array directly printed on the collar, capable of identifying multiple sleep patterns’.
Scientists at Cambridge University have developed smart pyjamas equipped with an ultrasensitive sensor array on the collar, capable of identifying multiple sleep patterns with 98.6% accuracy. Designed to be washable and comfortable, the garment offers an alternative to traditional sleep monitoring methods like polysomnography (PSG), which are complex and inconvenient. The sensors, trained using an AI algorithm, can detect sleep states while ignoring regular movements like tossing and turning. The smart pyjamas aim to provide reliable sleep monitoring at home, helping identify issues like sleep apnoea, mouth breathing, and snoring, which can lead to chronic health conditions. The technology could also be adapted for other health applications, such as baby monitoring.
