Somfit is a wearable device for collecting patients’ physiological data, primarily for use in assisting medical professionals to diagnose sleep disorders. It’s been developed by Compumedics, based out of Australia.
The Somfit design prioritized ease of use, being light and comfortable for the patient while enabling collection of high-quality signals to provide medical-grade data to aid the clinician’s diagnostic activity.
Somfit is ideal for use in the following areas:
- High volume testing applications.
- Low user expertise environments such as Home Sleep Tests, Occupational Health environments and Primary Care.
- Clinical studies, where its lower cost per study compares favorably versus PSG.
- Physiological and Sleep data collection over long periods of time, (weeks and months), due to the relatively low costs of data acquisition and management.
Somfit also has application in the remote collection of patient’s vital signs.
