What is Sunrise (Sleep testing sensor)?
Sunrise is a certified medical device intended for home screening of sleep apnea. It is a miniature sensor weighing a few grams that attaches to the chin to record mandibular movements during the night. This technology analyzes respiratory signals and sleep parameters to support healthcare professionals in the diagnostic process. The system relies on an automated analysis of data collected and transmitted via a dedicated mobile application. Once the test is completed, a full report is generated for the prescribing physician, facilitating therapeutic decision-making. The device is designed to simplify the care pathway by avoiding, in some cases, the need for laboratory polysomnography.
