Somnus

Insomnia is the most common sleep disorder in the whole of Western Europe. According to statistics, 10% of the population suffers from it chronically. Moreover, 2% of women and 4% of men suffer from sleep apnea (OSAS), the most common organic sleep disorder.
The result is that more than one third of the population suffers from brief and/or poor quality of sleep, with consequences which are more or less serious, such as irritability, reduction of intellectual performance, memory disorders, daytime drowsiness, which can be dangerous, for example while driving.

Through an extensive and determined research of the many issues linked to poor quality of sleep, the project Somnus, financed by Regione Lombardia, a cooperation among Comftech as the lead company and its partners Genesi, Tecnofilati, Sonnomedica, Politecnico di Milano e Fondazione Politecnico di Milano, aims at creating a highly accessible sleep monitoring wearable system.
This system consists of a sensored underwear item, a device that measures and sends data, an app to display the data and a gateway to share the information on the cloud to a designated medical centre.
