The latest watchOS release brings sleep tracking to the Apple Watch, but the Cupertino-based tech giant has more ambitious plans when it comes to monitoring and helping improve our sleep.
The company has recently patented two new technologies (here and here) that describe a device similar to the Beddit Sleep Monitor and pretty much coming down to a sensor strip that can be lied across a bed to monitor certain data.
While the accuracy of such a device is one of the most challenging parts, Apple explains that it wants to make it as thin and soft as possible without impacting the way it works.
