Kardian Somily

Tracking sleep and other vitals can help people improve their health—but wearing a tracker can feel burdensome. Kardian Somily, from the Toronto-based health-technology company Xandar Kardian, offers a new way to understand personal wellness data without wearables or cameras. The device is a radar-based sensor that, when mounted near the bed, monitors breathing, heart rate, movement, sleep quality, and other metrics. The company’s FDA-cleared medical device, the XK300 Essence, is already used in hospitals and other care settings; Somily is the at-home consumer version.
