(NYSE:RMD) announced the launch of the first product in Japan using technology from its recently acquired company, BiancaMed.

How Omron Sleep Design Works

The device uses ResMed technology to offer wireless, non-contact sleep monitoring which in turn connects to health care support services in Japan. To use the Omron Sleep Design HSL-101, a patient places the device beside the bed. With ResMed's non-contact sensing technology, the device measures sleep throughout the night and can report key sleep quality metrics, such as sleep onset time and total sleep time. In the morning, users can generate a full report on the night's sleep with the push of a button. When the data is connected to the cloud as part of Omron's Wellness Link service, a full picture of sleep health is provided, alongside a customized summary of health tips and advice... ResMed's Press Release -
