ACCELStars Enhances SLEEP COMPASS

ACCELStars, a sleep tech and neurotech startup spun out from the University of Tokyo, has made significant strides in sleep health assessment by adding a new feature to its existing service, SLEEP COMPASS. The latest option allows users to undergo a “Sleep Apnea Screening,” further enriching the service’s capabilities and improving user experience in monitoring their sleep health.

Enhancements in Sleep Apnea Screening

The newly incorporated screening process combines traditional measurements taken by wristwatch-like devices with a ring-shaped pulse oximeter. This dual approach enhances the accuracy of the assessment, allowing users to receive a detailed report that identifies their risk for sleep apnea. Two types of reports will be generated:

• - Personal Report: This report is designed for individual use, offering insights that can help users make improvements in their daily lives or decide when to seek further medical assistance.
• - Medical Submission Report: This version is suitable for use in a medical setting, providing reference material during consultations or examinations.

With this service enhancement, ACCELStars supports users from the initial self-care stage to professional healthcare consultations in navigating their sleep health. This is especially beneficial for individuals who experience concerns such as snoring, daytime sleepiness, or poor sleep quality, as it empowers them to take control of their sleep-related issues.

Overview of SLEEP COMPASS

SLEEP COMPASS is an innovative service that allows users to conduct sleep assessments conveniently at home over the course of eight days. Utilizing a certified medical device, specifically the Actigraph Sensor (Model: ACCEL ATRIA), along with a high-precision algorithm, SLEEP COMPASS scientifically analyzes the reasons behind sleep disturbances.

• - Options Available: In addition to the new sleep apnea screening, SLEEP COMPASS continues to provide its original analysis capabilities.

Important Considerations

It is essential to note that while SLEEP COMPASS offers valuable insights into sleep health, it is not classified as a medical device. Thus, the information gathered through the service is not meant to diagnose or treat any disease but serves merely as reference information. ACCELStars strongly encourages users to consult their healthcare providers or sleep specialists if they have concerns regarding their sleep health, regardless of the results generated by the SLEEP COMPASS.
