IBM has announced a partnership with the American Sleep Apnea Association to launch a new sleep study app, SleepHealth. Developed using Apple’s Research Kit framework, SleepHealth can measure your daily activity and track your sleep patterns, health habits, helping you better understand how you sleep.

Sleep is crucial for rejuvenating our brains and bodies. SleepHealth uses the sensors in your iPhone or Apple Watch to measure users’ movements throughout the night. It also uses the Apple Watch’s heart rate monitor to detect when the wearer has fallen asleep.

SleepHealth includes a nap tracker and a personal sleep concierge, which were “designed specifically with the Apple Watch in mind.”

Here are the major features of SleepHealth:

Record and track your:

• Physical activity through your iPhone or a HealthKit-linked device
• Alertness level each day, testing your reaction time to a stimulus
• Morning and evening checks to understand how your actions throughout the day affect your sleep, and how the quality and quantity of your sleep affect your daily actions

Receive reminders and notifications about:

• Your activity and sleep
• Activities and surveys to complete

Get educated:

• Learn about your activity level
• Learn about sleep disorders and their effects
• Receive frequent updates on sleep research and news through the newsfeed

It is very Happy to see Watson Health Cloud to initiate a program which overcomes Sleep issues and which could be very appreciated as Sleep is very vital in one’s life which keeps the both mental and physical health good.
