As a part of our new Elite Autopilot tier, Pod owners can now upgrade their software to include Health Check, a new report that surfaces disturbances to breathing and heartbeats, and provides deeper insights into resting heart rate, heart rate variability (HRV), and breath rate trends – including outliers that could indicate illness. If you purchased a Pod before Dec 31, 2021, Health Check is already included in your membership.
With this new enhancement, the Pod becomes a proactive wellness tool that, without the need for wearable trackers, can uncover a variety of potential health concerns that may be linked to lifestyle or underlying conditions … all while the user is sleeping.
“At Eight Sleep, we’ve turned the bed into something far more powerful—a health-tracking device that requires no wearables. You spend a third of your life in bed, and we are helping you get more out of that time through proactive monitoring. With the new Health Check feature, our members can gain unmatched control over their health, detecting potential heartbeat disturbances, breathing disturbances, and more. We’re not just improving sleep, we’re transforming every bed into a preventative health tool.” – Matteo Franceschetti
Preventative health, without wearables
The Pod utilizes its powerful sensors within the Cover to track a user’s health seamlessly, reporting on metrics such as resting heart rate, breath rate, HRV, sleep stages, and more. After sleeping on the Pod consistently, it learns from each user’s typical patterns and establishes a personalized sleep and health baseline. With Health Check, it goes a step further – now identifying deviations from each user’s baseline metrics and displaying these insights on a clear timeline.
With Health Check, Eight Sleep aims to give users autonomy over their health, giving them daily insight into underlying conditions or lifestyle habits that may be impacting their sleep and wellbeing.
Developed with over 1 million hours of sleep and health data
Health Check was developed using advanced machine learning algorithms and over 1 million hours of sleep data. The Eight Sleep Pod houses powerful, yet imperceivable, sensors that track a user’s health and sleep metrics with up to 99% clinical-grade accuracy. These sensors are able to detect even the slightest changes to a user’s heartbeat or breath rate, all while a user is sleeping. Thus, making Health Check the most powerful and advanced non-wearable sleep and health tracking solution directly available to consumers.
Cardiovascular disturbances
Health Check’s heartbeat monitoring tracks a user’s regular heart rhythm throughout the night, identifying any shifts or inconsistencies in how their heart is beating compared to their normal range. Cardio disturbances are unusual patterns or rhythms in your heart rate while you sleep. These may include skipped beats, rapid heart rate episodes, or other events that can affect your sleep quality and recovery. By surfacing this data, Health Check enables users to spot potential issues that might otherwise go unnoticed.
Respiratory disturbances
Health Check also monitors breathing patterns with precision, identifying any disturbances in breathing during sleep. These changes are tracked and presented in an easy-to-read format, giving you clarity on your nightly respiratory health. By monitoring the frequency of disturbances, Health Check transforms your sleep into a powerful health monitoring tool, helping you uncover hidden respiratory patterns that could impact your performance, recovery, and long-term well-being.
Health trends
When two or more health metrics are outside a user’s typical range, Health Check sends a notification, giving a user early insights into possible concerns. By monitoring your health throughout the night, Health Check helps users spot anything off-trend in their health early, empowering them to take proactive steps, whether that means adjusting their routine, taking it easy for a few days, or seeking professional advice.
