Withings has launched Sleep Diary, a new feature now available in the Withings app, designed to deliver the data users and doctors need to help people optimize their sleep.
Withings aims to reinvent the traditional sleep diary with a solution that automatically collects and analyzes sleep data while channeling user-generated information in a usable and actionable format for users and their clinical care teams.
From cognitive function, weight management and cardiovascular health to aging, depression, immunity, pulmonary function and diabetes, studies have demonstrated the importance of sleep to overall health and wellness. It is believed one in three Americans suffer from insomnia, and one billion people worldwide are estimated to suffer from mild to severe sleep apnea. This serious condition can lead to major health and cardiovascular issues, yet, eight out ten people don’t know they have it.
It is therefore vital to ensure consistent and restful sleep.
“Thanks to sleep data that until now has been difficult to objectively and consistently collect, Sleep Diary has the potential to dramatically contribute to better the identification and treatment of sleep disorders …It reveals relevant information that will allow the patient and the health professional to act,” commented Dr. Pierre Escourrou, sleep physician at the Béclère Hospital in Paris.
"Sleep Diary ideally complements the data collected by Withings Sleep and gives it meaning,” added Matthieu Menanteau, head of Products at Withings. “Information is power, which is why Withings creates devices that seamlessly fit into people’s lives that consistently capture health data over the long-term. By ensuring people have access to the most reliable health data, we help people regain control of their health."
Designed with sleep physicians, Sleep Diary and Withings Sleep are a powerful combination. Featuring a simple one-time set up under the mattress, Withings Sleep is a sophisticated sensor that helps improve sleep quality. It detects sleep duration, sleep onset and time to wake, sleep cycles distinguishing between deep and light, and REM phases.
It also measures continuous and average heart rate, snoring duration, and detects the presence and length of breathing disturbances. Withings Sleep can even help to improve the overall sleeping environment. Through integration with IFTTT, it can control lights, temperature, and other smart home devices just by getting into and out of bed.

About Sleep Diary
Paired with Withings Sleep, an unobtrusive sophisticated sleep tracker, the all-new Withings Sleep Diary combines the automatic collection of sleep data with behavioral analysis based on gold standard sleep disorder medical questionnaires, including the Epworth Sleepiness Scale and STOP-Bang Questionnaire. It then generates an easy-to-use and standardized dashboard that users can quickly interpret, track over time, and share with their physician as a PDF.From cognitive function, weight management and cardiovascular health to aging, depression, immunity, pulmonary function and diabetes, studies have demonstrated the importance of sleep to overall health and wellness.
