Automatic and ambulatory
sleep recording and analysis device

Ambulatory medical device for analyzing sleep architecture

Developed by PPRS, Somno-Art® enables the analysis of all sleep parameters on an outpatient basis and automatically, based on actigraphy and cardiac activity.

It is used in particular as a therapeutic monitoring tool and diagnostic aid.

The Somno-Art® solution consists of two separate medical devices:

a device in the form of a wristband (Somno-Art® device), which records actigraphy and cardiac activity

automatic analysis software (Somno-Art software), based on Artificial Intelligence algorithms

The Somno-Art® Device is a comfortable armband worn on the forearm that records the user’s heart rate and movements using a 3-axis accelerometer and 4 photoplethysmography sensors.

The Somno-Art® Software automatically analyzes the recordings made by the device using an algorithm based on artificial intelligence developed by the PPRS teams. The user automatically receives:

  • a complete analysis of the sleep stages and the corresponding hypnogram in different
    formats
  • the raw data
  • Somno-Art® also provides heart rate variability (HRV) indices

The benefits

Developed by teams specializing in sleep and signal analysis, Somno-Art® complements the current tools available to clinicians and researchers by ensuring reliable and unrestricted sleep analysis. The various added values of the solution lie in:

scientifically validated results equivalent to polysomnography, the gold standard for sleep analysis

a non-invasive ambulatory device that does not interfere with the user's sleep quality and therefore allows recording over several consecutive nights

automatic, reliable, and reproducible data analysis, saving significant time during the processing phase

reports in various formats (PDF, CSV, TXT), including a consolidated report combining the various hypnograms for a single user, synchronized to facilitate monitoring over several consecutive nights.

an economically viable solution that fits perfectly with the economic constraints of the medical sector and public and private research.

Heart Rate Variability

Heart rate variability (HRV) is a key indicator of the autonomic nervous system, reflecting the balance between sympathetic (stress, alertness) and parasympathetic (rest, recovery) activity.

Current methods are limited by external factors and provide only a partial view of autonomic functioning. Somno-Art® opens up a new way to assess HRV during sleep, allowing spontaneous sympatho-vagal maneuvering in an environment free from external disturbances.

Various applications:

Clinical and basic research

The Somno-Art® device was designed to optimize the measurement and analysis of the sleep architecture within ever more ambitious research protocols,

Sleeping troubles

Somno-Art is a diagnostic and therapeutic monitoring tool. The ease of use of the Somno-Art® solution allows for ambulatory and non-restrictive analysis, with results similar to those provided by polysomnography. It is therefore a reliable alternative for recording several consecutive nights in a familiar sleeping environment.

Chronobiology

The analysis of sleep and its architecture is a key marker in chronobiological studies. The Somno-Art® device offers the opportunity to consolidate your circadian data through reliable sleep analysis, without technical expertise or additional hospital costs.

Sport performance

The quality and quantity of sleep are critical in the key phases of training or at the approach of major competitions: jet lag, over-training, … The Somno-Art® solution finally allows technical staff to access easily to the collection and interpretation of sleep characteristics in any situation, on the move or at home.
