SOND, a startup that farms you for your vitals while you sleep (and will never share that data with the insurance industry, pinky promise), exits stealth with $7M
“…the device tracks signals like respiration, heart rate variability, cardiorespiratory coupling, sleep staging, body position, snoring, and seismocardiography (SCG, or the mechanical vibrations of the chest wall produced by the beating heart).
This sensor data streams in real time to a cloud-based AI sleep coach that then selects a sleep audio program, or generates one on demand, learning over time which ones work best for the individual user.”

Why quote and not reply? I will admit that it was not a very nice way to say it.

in reply to Aral Balkan • • •i mean, it has to be. It has literally no other options. Even if they turned around and tried to use it for actual healthcare I guarantee you it would get shut down within a week of the notice
I wrote a book during my doctoral research program. 2 books but the 2nd is a longer version of the 1st. Real-world Problem Solving: Smart Healthcare Systems. Researching the availability of the tech relative to its application, not to mention the countries doing it...is infuriating, to say it nicely
