The Device

A lightweight, chest-worn patch that combines sleep apnea testing and ECG monitoring in one at-home solution. Designed for comfort, simplicity, and clinical-grade data collection outside the sleep lab.

Smart + Clinical Features

ECG-Enabled Sleep Testing: Captures heart rhythm data during sleep to identify arrhythmias.
Single-Patch Design: One device replaces multiple tests, improving patient compliance.
Home-First Workflow: Enables scalable testing without in-lab polysomnography.
Clinical-Grade Output: Generates actionable ECG strips for physician review.

Why It Matters

Sleep apnea and heart rhythm disorders often coexist — but are rarely evaluated together at home. SANSA bridges sleep medicine and cardiology, enabling earlier detection, faster referrals, and more integrated care.
