Project description
New diagnosis and treatment for sleep disorders
Sleep disorders afflict a third of the global population, spanning all ages and demographics, and present a significant public health concern. Despite their prevalence, these disorders often remain unrecognised and underreported, leading to serious medical complications and potentially masking underlying mental health issues. Diagnosis primarily relies on overnight polysomnography (PSG), an expensive and impractical method due to its limited availability and artificial sleep environment. In this context, the S-trodes project introduces Smart Skin technology, an accessible home-based solution that promises accurate monitoring and treatment efficacy assessment, potentially transforming sleep disorder management. With EIC funding, the project aims to optimise its platform for clinical validation, paving the way for widespread use in Europe.
Objective
Sleep disorders are prevalent in 1/3 of the global population, across various age groups, and considered a public health epidemic. Nevertheless, sleep disorders are often unrecognized and under-reported. These disorders can contribute to other medical problems, and some may also be symptoms for underlying mental health issues. Sleep monitoring is essential for reliable diagnosis and improved management of sleep disorders. Currently, sleep disorders are only measured during an overnight Polysomnography (PSG); however, this method is limited in clinical implication due its unavailability, high cost, unnatural sleep environment and episodic brain patterns. Smart Skin technology enables monitoring treatment efficacy: the platform is designed to replace PSG with home-based accessible technology. The EIC funding will enable X-trodes to optimize its platform and to perform the clinical validation activities necessary to obtain CE Mark and start commercialization in Europe.
