«Breaking News» Apple reveals $150 smart mattress sensor that monitors your sleep

Apple has revealed its first sleep tracking device, after buying apps and sensor maker Beddit earlier this year.

The new $149 Beddit sensor, released today, uses a 2mm mat placed under a mattress to track sleep.

It learns user's sleep patterns and can even tell people the best time for them to go to sleep and wake up.

WHAT IS BEDDIT? 

Beddit is an app and device combination that learns about the user's sleep patterns and connects daily habits to their sleep in order to help them get a better night's rest.

The ultra-thin film sensor is placed on your mattress and is plugged into a regular low voltage USB power supply.

The sensor measures your presence in the bed (sleep rhythm) and your movements (actigraphy) during the night and also the movements of your heart (heart rate) and your breathing movements (breathing rhythm and snoring).

It then sends this data to a special app via bluetooth, where it is analysed as a sleep report shown. 

'Beddit Sleep Monitor automatically tracks your sleep and works with the Beddit app on your iPhone to help measure, manage, and improve your sleep,' Apple says on its store page for the new product.  

'With automatic and accurate tracking, you get a full picture of your night by measuring sleep time, heart rate, breathing, snoring, and bedroom temperature and humidity. 

'And when you set daily bedtime and sleep time goals, Beddit motivates you to achieve them with tip notifications like morning results, bedtime reminders, and weekly reports.' 

The sleep industry is estimated to be worth more than $32 billion, and many wearables now offer users ways to track their sleep. 

Beddit made its debut in 2014 with a new gadget that can turn any mattress into a smart bed capable of analyzing your sleep.

The sleep tracker boosts Apple's Health offering.

At the moment, the Apple Watch is primarily used to track the wearer's calories burned, steps, breathing and heart rate, but lacks the sleeping aspect. 

However, yesterday Apple finally launched a controversial health feature allowing users of its smartwatch to take an electrocardiogram (ECG) by holding a finger on the crown of the device. 

Beddit is an app and device combination that learns about the user's sleep patterns and connects daily habits to their sleep in order to help them get a better night's rest.

Apple announced the heart features in September, but didn't make them available until today.

The watch can also intermittently check the wearer's heart rhythm in the background and send a notification if it detects irregular heart rhythm. 

The new features have been given clearance by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and are for U.S. customers only.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
