Technology Innovator Awards 2020

all the sleep phases very accurately, one can get results that are pertinent and useful. In many ways, it’s telling that Night Train have been able to achieve such success in the market, innovating in a field that many have been working in for years. Their fresh insight, however, has allowed for new developments and exciting potential still to come. That’s what makes the firm one to watch in the future. Company: Night Train Contact: Juha Rytky Web Address: www.ntrain.io Jul20038 Leading Innovators of Sleep Biosignal Analytics Solutions 2020 One of the most powerful uses of wearable technology is the ability to gather data that we’ve never had access to before. When it comes to sleep, the team at Night Train are pioneers, offering biosignal analysis solutions that leave the competition behind. Having achieved success previously, named Best Sleep Cycle Analysis Solution 2019 in last year’s Technology Awards, we take another look at the firm in the light of this year’s success. Sleep is an essential part of our lives, acting as a time to recover, to grow, to rest, and to learn. We do not entirely understand sleep and the complex web that goes into making one night’s sleep truly exceptional, but the team at Night Train have used their mix of scientific, medical, engineering, and product creation professionals to try and bring the truth to light. What Night Train offers is an original, machine learning based solution that provides the most accurate measurement of the circadian cycle, sleep stages, recovery and stress. All of the company’s work is directed towards making the biosignal analytics in wearable devices more reliable and useful. Sleep is a complex process, with the body following its own sleep-wakefulness rhythm. As the pineal gland starts to secrete melatonin, you begin to get sleepy. This is the best time to go to bed. It is possible to stay awake through this phase of the natural sleep cycle, but this can hamper the quality of sleep and create challenges for the future. When you fall asleep, you enter a series of different sleep stages, each cycle lasting around ninety minutes. The first cycles usually contain most of the deep sleep. 90% of growth hormones are produced during deep sleep stages, which is one of the reasons why a good night’s sleep is so important. Going to bed at the right time is essential, and this is one of the things Night Train’s solution can help with better than the competition - thanks to the unique capabilities of the technology. The results the team has been able to collect have been exceptional - based on tests involving polysomnography records, the golden standard of sleep analysis, of over hundred test subjects. Wearable manufacturers can test and evaluate Night Train’s technologies very easily just by providing a sensor data from their wearable devices. Night Train will then perform the requested analysis and return the results. Analysis algorithms, a key factor in Night Train’s work, are unique on the market, using heart rate, heart rate variability, movements, and skin temperature fed to a deep-learning neural network to create the necessary results. To measure Technology Innovator Awards 2020 recovery, also a common feature of wearables, the team has developed a way of sampling the heartbeat selectively throughout the deep sleep stages. This makes their results more reliable and accurate than others. Like all developers of sleep technology, Night Train use the latest research on the market to guide them and their company forward. One of the reasons behind the team’s success is that they have noticed the occasionally high inaccuracies in the sleep analysis results of many existing wearables. This makes the results less useful since the user has no way of knowing when to trust the results and when not. They decided to find a solution and change that. As their algorithms can track circadian cycle and
