Med*nap

Med*nap is a single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) sleep monitor and facilitator. The monitor function uses a supervised learning approach to automatically classify the user's sleep stages based on their ECG signal. It also constantly collects environmental data to identify any unsatisfactory conditions. The facilitator component combines art and science by playing audio at specific frequencies to help users relax and transition into stage 2 sleep more easily.

Future versions will include a web or mobile application to allow users to track their sleep quality and receive personalised recommendations to improve their rest schedules.
