Beddit The Sleep Sensor You Tape To Your Bed Looks To Build Cloud App With Indiegogo Stretch Goal


Smart Pedometers are just the beginning. Sensors of all kinds are emerging to continue the way we move, what we do in the country and the way we sleep.

Last week, I wrote about a company based in Helsinki called Beddit that made ​​an Indiegogo campaign for a sleep sensor connects to your bed. They say it's so sensitive, it can pick up the heart rate of a person. After fabrication of devices like this to medical professionals for a couple of years, they are looking at the consumer market with a cheaper product for $ 149.

Quickly reached their goal of $ 80,000 in a week and are looking to add more. The company is promising to build a web application called Cloud Beddit to backup and share data sleep if you can reach $ 200,000. The original Beddit already synchronized with a mobile app via Bluetooth.

But if they build Cloud Beddit, then a person can automatically load measurements of sleep to a private account on the web. This will include visualization to observe long periods of sleep data, exports spreadsheet and comparison data aggregated anonymously sleep with other cloud users Beddit.

They also make the data easily shared to social networks, putting in some of the social functions that are common to more widespread activity as followers Jawbone Up will also be an open API for third party applications. They are planning to have it out by the second quarter of next year if you make this ambitious goal.
