There’s a new sleep tracker on the market, and this one prides itself that it is not a wearable. Beddit is a Finnish company that is applying the not-widely-known technology of ballistocardiography to track a person’s breathing rhythm and sleep quality, among other features. With a little over a day left in its Indiegogo campaign, Beddit has already raised an impressive $400,000, or 5 times its (in retrospect) modest goal of $80,000. We had the opportunity to speak with Beddit’s Co-founder and CEO, Lasse Leppäkorpi, about the technology, its use cases, and why he believes Beddit will succeed where other sleep trackers have failed.
