News in brief

The ISES project started November 1, 2025, and has a duration of three years. The project, funded by the Federal Ministry of Research, Technology and Space (BMFTR), Grant No. 16SV9486, deals with gender-specific differences in sleep behaviour and sleep disorders, particularly in the context of obstructive sleep apnoea syndrome (OSAS). The aim of the project is to develop a demonstrator for an interactive sleep monitoring system that can be used in general practice. The system consists of a radar module for contactless detection of breathing, heartbeat and movement, a miniaturised amplifier with a novel electrode patch for recording brain, eye and muscle activity with high wearing comfort. An inertial measurement unit for recording position and movement and measuring oxygen saturation is also integrated. By reducing the number and size of conventional sensors, sleep disturbance is minimised, enabling a larger number of representative measurement nights. The task of Brain Products is to develop a miniaturised amplifier including an inertial measurement unit.

As the global market for sleep apnoea devices is growing at an annual rate of 8.3% and is expected to reach a value of USD 10.02 billion by 2032, with this project Brain Products is trying to deliver smart solutions to this growing market.

The coordinating institution is the German SME avisé labs from Dortmund. Other partners, besides Brain Products, are the Fraunhofer Institute for Digital Media Technology IDMT from Oldenburg, the Carl von Ossietzky University Oldenburg and the Otto von Guericke University Magdeburg.
