With the pandemic still ongoing, monitoring of one's health has become a dictum for all of us but above all also for technology companies. Just think of the various wearables that in the past 2020 have integrated in their sensors, once dedicated exclusively to heart rate, also the one for monitoring blood oxygen, the SpO2 value.
The combination of functions, such as that of sleep monitoring, has also allowed in some cases to draw an even clearer picture of one's health. But of course, behind this there is also the business of companies and therefore smelled the deal, here comes Amazon which seems to be developing a device capable of monitoring sleep apnea, a very dangerous situation in certain conditions, which must therefore be treated. sometimes even surgically.
Amazon working on a device that will monitor sleep apnea
The American ecommerce giant seems to be developing this device for the tracking of sleep apnea, alongside the assistant Alexa. The code name of the project is Brahms, in honor of the German composer who among his compositions boasts the famous “Lullaby” and who also seems to have suffered from respiratory dysfunction during the sleep phase.
Amazon's device for monitoring sleep apnea should rely on a particular sonar that will track breathing patterns and sleeping movements, thus responding to certain parameters within which respiratory dysfunction can be defined or not at risk. Alexa support would allow you to send notifications to other nearby devices as well as through Skills to make calls to "friends" devices if the situation is more tragic than expected.
It should be noted that at the moment these are rumors that Amazon at the moment has neither denied nor confirmed, but it is clear that the company has been following the market for devices able to track health parameters for some time, as evidenced by the Amazon Halo Band , a wearable able to track different parameters including sleep.
