Amazon building radar-based sleep apnea tracker

Amazon has made big strides in the Internet of Things (IoT) with smart speakers. In late August 2020, it forayed into the smart fitness band segment with the launch of ‘Halo’.

Now, the American technology major is working on the state-of-the-art radar technology under project ‘Brahms’ that can detect sleep apnea, reported Business Insider.

The interesting thing about Amazon’s new tech is that the user doesn’t have to wear anything. The device comes with a standing hexagonal pad connected to a metal wire base and can be placed on a bed stand nearby. It’s advanced millimeter-wave radar sensors can detect the slightest of breathing discomfort, and record and notify the concerned person.
