Voler Systems and the New Era of Home Sleep Monitoring: What You Need to Know

Imagine a World Where Sleep Studies Happen in Your Own Bed

Picture a future where you can undergo sleep studies without leaving the comfort of your home. No more white coats, unfamiliar settings, or disrupted sleep patterns. This is the vision of Somnology, a company dedicated to revolutionizing digital healthcare with a home-based sleep monitoring device that offers accurate results at a fraction of traditional sleep lab costs.

The Challenge: Sleepless Nights for Innovation

Somnology's initial prototype showed promise but faced significant challenges. Inconsistent data collection undermined accurate sleep pattern monitoring, while malfunctioning hardware components hampered the verification of their sleep-monitoring software. Furthermore, the high cost of developing custom devices threatened to make their solution financially unviable.

Partnering for Effective Solutions

To overcome these hurdles, Somnology turned to Voler Systems, a leader in complex engineering solutions.
