Aura – Sleep Apnea

Overview

A small wearable that tracks a person’s breathing during sleep to diagnose sleep apnea — without the need for nasal cannulas. Published on November 22, 2021.

Our Goal

Create a wearable patch or device capable of monitoring respiratory signals during sleep in a comfortable, unobtrusive way (i.e., avoiding nasal cannulas) Support early detection or monitoring of sleep apnea conditions through continuous or long-term sleep monitoring Improve the usability and comfort of sleep-related diagnostics and thus encourage better adoption in non-clinic settings
