The Sleep Tracker Belt Rob ter Horst Did not Test

Last Updated on December 3, 2022 by pg@petergamma.org

  • we suppose it is based on a sensor belt which is highly sensitive
  • we have seen the sensor belt on Alibaba and Aliexpress several times

  • there was a demo video of someone doing experiments with it
  • it is so sensitive, that is shows a graph of respiration movements and of heart rate in real time (in the HappySleep app)
  • the signal quality of respiration and heart rate is excellent
  • we never have seen before a sensor belt which registers heart beat and respiration movement.
  • It seem to be something which is new and little developed
  • It has the potential to be better than other sleep trackers
  • But we have no data about it s accuracy
  • Eventually a combination of several sensors could be more effective for sleep tracking, for instance sensor belt in combination with EEG
  • we suppose the Biosignals Respiban Professional is based on this sensor belt
  • The sensor belt uses the HappySleep Android app
  • the App collects a number of data which can be synchronized to Apple Health
  • If we are practicing breath meditation, the HappySleep app says we are sleeping
  • but the sensor belt is highly sensitive
  • we asked Rob ter Hort to test it, unfortunately without success
  • it can be found on Aliexpress for 104 USD:
