We develop products that support people in need of positional therapy during their sleep.
A good night’s rest is not as obvious as it seems.
The average person turns about 20 to 30 times per night and unconsciously turns into positions that may not always be healthy. For example, patients with back and neck pain that is caused by sleeping on their stomach. It is impossible to solve this problem without changing these sleeping habits. Currently, positional therapy is advised but there is no comfortable solution to support this therapy.
NightBalance developed a sensor that measures the sleeping position, and gives relevant feedback at the right moment. With this sensor people can maintain their natural sleeping rhythm whilst avoiding unhealthy sleeping positions. When the sensor is used over a longer period of time, people even learn not to sleep in these unhealthy sleeping positions. Besides patients with back and neck pain, NightBalance plans to introduce this sensor for other target groups in the future.
