Tarsio Medics

Tarsio Medics is a company which specialises in investigating non-invasive methods to diagnose sleep disorders based on automatic image analysis

Tarsio Medics has dedicated over 10 years of research in conjunction with the Pulmonology department of the Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital to create SleepWise.

SleepWise is a system based on analysing the images recorded by a camera while a patient sleeps. SleepWise uses these images to perform an automatic OSAHS diagnosis and also to detect other sleep disorders.

SleepWise

Sleep Wise is the first non-intrusive solution for obstructive sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome.

Sleep apnoea-hypopnoea syndrome, or OSAHS, is the most common respiratory disorder which occurs during sleep, affecting approximately 11% of the global population.

OSAHS is not only a direct risk factor for the patient’s health, but it is also associated with a high percentage of traffic and domestic accidents.

Tarsio Medics, after over 10 years of research with the Pulmonology department of the Germans Trias i Pujol Hospital, has developed SleepWise, a revolutionary system which can be used to diagnose OSAHS in a convenient way in the patient’s own home.
