Sleepiz One+ provides new insights into patient health status Sleepiz One+ is one of the first respiratory monitoring devices to contactlessly capture and record patient data during sleep. The technology provides entirely new insights into patient health, as physicians no longer have to rely on random measurements, but gain access to continuous data. Physicians in the U.S. can prescribe Sleepiz One+ to their patients to measure their vital signs in the short and long term, providing greater insight into patients' physiological status. For patients, Sleepiz One+ provides a new and convenient way to take continuous measurements at home by simply placing a small device on their bedside table before bed.
