Wearables have become an integral part of our day to day activities. There are many smartwatches, bands, and other fitness devices that can be used to keep an eye on our daily activity. But these devices need to be worn on the wrist continuously (even in the night) to track activities like heart rate, sleep pattern, respiratory rate and so on. But the new iFit Sleep HR created by Israeli startup is the perfect solution for your sleeping troubles, wherein you no longer need to flaunt the wearable all the time.
iFit Sleep HR is a disc-shaped plate and rests under the mattress. The sensor of the iFit Sleep tracker is very sensitive and is able to measure the activities even under mattresses of 20-inches thick. When the device is properly positioned under the mattress it can very well measure various activities like heart rate, respiratory rate and sleep pattern. The device packs exciting features.
