Beddit

Beddit is a company that specializes in sleep tracking technology. The company was founded in 2006 in Finland and has since become a global leader in the field of sleep technology. Beddit's primary product is a sleep monitor that uses ballistocardiography to measure the movements of the heart, lungs, and body during sleep.

History

Beddit was founded by Lasse Leppäkorpi, who was inspired by his own struggles with sleep to create a product that could help others improve their sleep quality. The company initially launched its product through a successful crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo in 2013. In 2017, Beddit was acquired by Apple Inc., which has since integrated Beddit's technology into its own Apple Watch sleep tracking feature.

Technology

Beddit's sleep monitor is a thin, flexible strip that is placed under the bedsheet. It uses ballistocardiography to measure the mechanical activity of the heart, lungs, and body during sleep. This data is then analyzed to provide insights into sleep quality, including sleep duration, sleep stages, and interruptions in sleep.

The Beddit sleep monitor is designed to be unobtrusive and easy to use. It does not require the user to wear any devices or sensors, and it automatically starts tracking when the user goes to bed. The data collected by the monitor is synced to the user's smartphone via Bluetooth, where it can be viewed in the Beddit app.

Reception

Beddit has received positive reviews for its sleep tracking technology. Users have praised the product for its accuracy, ease of use, and the detailed insights it provides into sleep patterns. However, some users have criticized the product for its high price and the need to have a smartphone nearby to sync the data.
