Developments in AI-driven sleep monitoring and management have emerged through collaborations and product updates involving Samsung Electronics and Tenminds. Tenminds announced that its AI Sleepbot, which uses non-contact ‘AI Air’ sensing technology to detect movement and snoring, has completed integration with the Samsung SmartThings platform. This integration allows the device to trigger automated routines for connected bedroom appliances. The product is slated for a South Korean launch in November. Concurrently, Samsung Electronics has expanded its sleep apnea monitoring capabilities for Galaxy wearable devices. Following approval from both South Korea’s Ministry of Food and Drug Safety and the US Food and Drug Administration, an upgraded AI-driven system will provide detailed respiratory monitoring. The enhanced algorithm calculates the frequency of breathing disturbances per hour, categorizing them into ‘mild’, ‘occasional’, or ‘frequent’ levels. To use this feature, users must record at least two sleep sessions of at least five hours each over a ten-day period via the Samsung Health Monitor app. The rollout in South Korea is scheduled for November, initially supporting the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2, Galaxy Watch 9, and Galaxy Ring, with subsequent updates expected for the Galaxy Watch 7 and Galaxy Watch 8. Samsung notes the feature is a wellness tool and not a substitute for a medical diagnosis. Recent updates specify that the technology is intended for adults aged 18 and is designed to recognize signs of moderate to severe sleep apnea. Samsung has highlighted that the lightweight design of the Galaxy Ring may offer increased comfort for overnight monitoring.
