Flinders University sleep experts test new mattress sensor

Flinders University sleep experts have started a new trial to help people with their individual sleep disorders by using an invisible sensor technology, REMi – developed by RMIT University for Melbourne-based R&D company Sleeptite.

Sensors on the surface of a mattress provide real-time insights into residents’ position, posture and sleep health status.

Flinders University project lead, Associate Professor Andrew Vakulin, said the research aimed to develop and validate sleep measurement metrics and algorithms using the REMi sensors, and to further enhance their capability to provide informative data.
