HoneyNaps Develops Next-Generation Wireless PSG System

In an era where technological advancements are revolutionizing healthcare, HoneyNaps stands at the forefront by introducing its latest innovation: a next-generation wireless polysomnography (PSG) system. Specializing in Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered sleep medical devices, HoneyNaps aims to transform how sleep disorders like sleep apnea are diagnosed and monitored.

What is Polysomnography?

Polysomnography is a comprehensive test used to diagnose sleep disorders by monitoring various mental and physical activities during sleep. Traditionally, conducting a PSG requires patients to stay overnight at a medical facility, which involves being connected to over 24 wired sensors attached to the face, chest, abdomen, and limbs. This cumbersome setup not only restricts patients' movements but can also lead to discomfort that affects the quality of their sleep. Ultimately, these factors may compromise the accuracy of the data collected.

Innovation to Reduce Complexity

To address these challenges, HoneyNaps has entirely reimagined the traditional PSG measurement architecture. The company's new wireless system utilizes four compact skin patches—namely, a Head Sensor, Chest Sensor, Body Sensor, and Leg Sensor—consolidating the functions of numerous wired sensors into a streamlined, wearable platform.

These patches allow for the capture of essential physiological signals without the tangle of cables, including:

• - Electroencephalography (EEG)
• - Electrooculography (EOG)
• - Electrocardiography (ECG)
• - Electromyography (EMG)
• - Respiratory airflow
• - Blood oxygen saturation (SpO₂)
• - Body position
• - Physical activity

Cutting-Edge Technology

HoneyNaps' Wireless PSG system leverages advanced technology that includes a six-layer flexible printed circuit board design, an integrated analog-to-digital converter, and a specialized sensor architecture. These features, along with wireless noise-reduction technology and electrostatic discharge protection, ensure that the quality of medical signals remains uncompromised during extensive monitoring sessions. Furthermore, the low-power design is particularly beneficial for patients, facilitating both hospital usage and future home-based sleep studies.

All data captured through the wireless sensors is integrated with SOMNUM, HoneyNaps' proprietary AI-driven sleep analysis software. This powerful software automatically evaluates critical sleep indicators, covering aspects such as sleep stages, apnea events, arousals, and periodic limb movements during sleep. By automating what has traditionally been a labor-intensive scoring and interpretation process, SOMNUM empowers medical professionals to review sleep studies far more efficiently.

The system showcases remarkable edge-computing technology, which processes substantial volumes of physiological data in real time, also allowing seamless integration with centralized management systems of healthcare institutions.

The Vision for Future Sleep Studies

HoneyNaps builds on its extensive research and development in sleep sensing and AI analysis. The company has previously developed technologies such as SOMNUM Scanning, a contactless sleep-sensing pad, single-channel EEG technology, and innovative digital therapies for insomnia. With the introduction of the patch-based wireless PSG system, HoneyNaps is poised to move beyond conventional hospital settings into the realms of home sleep testing, remote monitoring, and other digital healthcare services.

Sean Ha (Taekyoung Ha), President of HoneyNaps USA, states, "By integrating patch-based wireless skin sensors with AI analysis in a single platform, our Wireless PSG system enhances patient comfort and diagnostic efficiency for healthcare providers. It also lays the groundwork for HoneyNaps to expand its reach in the global sleep diagnostics market."

This innovation represents a significant leap toward making sleep studies more accessible, reducing discomfort for patients, and improving the precision of sleep disorder diagnostics.
