A new device developed by BAM Labs, uses an inflatable pad that is placed under a mattress to unobtrusively track heart rate, respiration, motion and presence. Then data collected are wirelessly transmitted to a cloud-based service on the Internet, which can then be accessed through a website or with mobile devices.
This looks like a great tool for researchers. The really nice thing is that it tracks sleep parameters without requiring that individuals wear or attach anything to the body making it more acceptable to research subjects. Also, researchers (and caregivers) can monitor and collect data from many individuals remotely.
Unfortunately, it isn't yet available nor have they published release dates or prices.
