What Sleepiz does
Sleepiz AG is a Zürich-based MedTech company founded in 2018 as a spin-off of ETH Zürich by Marc Rullan (CTO), Max Sieghold (CFO), and Soumya Sunder Dash (CEO). The company develops and sells a contactless home sleep apnea screening device built on low-power millimeter-wave Doppler radar combined with proprietary machine learning algorithms. The Class IIa medical device, certified under ISO 13485 by TÜV SÜD, measures breathing rate, pulse, and body movements with claimed accuracy of 0.2 millimeters and 99% respiratory accuracy, including through walls and blankets, and transmits multi-night data to a cloud platform for expert analysis. Headcount exceeds 50 employees as of early 2022.
The company operates a hybrid go-to-market combining direct-to-consumer e-commerce (CHF 129, 149, and 189 screening packages), Swiss health insurance channel partnerships with SWICA, CSS, ÖKK, and Atupri offering 50% discounts or free screenings, healthcare provider and sleep lab services, and B2B remote patient monitoring for clinical and enterprise clients. In February 2023 Sleepiz launched Aurora Telemed AG as a subsidiary telemedicine physician practice providing end-to-end sleep apnea care from screening through therapy monitoring, and the company reports becoming the Swiss market leader for sleep screenings within one year. Revenue is generated through device rental/screening subscriptions, expert consultation and sleep coaching, laboratory and RPM services, and clinical trial partnerships (notably with Clario).
Sleepiz has raised approximately CHF 6.2 million in Series A funding (CHF 4.4M in August 2021 led by Verve Ventures, CHF 1.8M second closing in March 2022), with additional investors including Zürcher Kantonalbank, an unnamed US health insurer, the four jurors from Die Höhle der Löwen Schweiz, Innosuisse, and European Commission programs. The company is expanding from Switzerland into Germany as its first foreign market and the United States via us.sleepiz.com, with clinical and pharmaceutical verticals represented by the Clario partnership and a dedicated Pharma site.

Sleepiz competitors and assessment
Company assessmentEmerging players
- Oura: Oura's smart ring tracks sleep and physiological signals for consumers. Adjacent competitor in the consumer sleep-tracking category, with strong brand and DTC distribution though no clinical-grade diagnostic positioning.
- Dreem (Beacon Biosignals): Dreem (now Beacon Biosignals) developed a sleep-tracking headband for consumer and research use; pivoted to clinical/research sleep analytics. Overlaps with Sleepiz on sleep data analytics and clinical partnerships.
- Eight Sleep: Eight Sleep offers the Pod smart mattress cover with sleep tracking. Competes on contactless in-home sleep monitoring in the consumer/premium segment with overlapping D2C GTM.
- Emfit: Emfit produces under-mattress sleep tracking sensors (Emfit QS) for consumer and care-provider markets. Closest peer on the contactless-under-mattress technical approach used by Sleepiz alternatives.
Direct peers
- Compumedics: Compumedics manufactures Somte PSG and home sleep testing systems sold into sleep labs and research centers. Direct peer on clinical-grade sleep diagnostics for hospitals and research.
- Itamar Medical: Itamar Medical (acquired by ZOLL Itamar) offers WatchPAT, a leading home sleep apnea test. It is a direct peer on contactless-style home sleep diagnostics for physicians and sleep labs.
- Withings: Withings offers consumer sleep-tracking devices (Sleep Analyzer under-mattress sensor) and broader connected health hardware. It is the closest direct peer on contactless/consumer sleep monitoring with overlapping D2C and health-insurance partnership models in Europe.
Broad incumbents
- ResMed: ResMed is the global leader in sleep apnea therapy (CPAP) and connected health platforms (myAir). It competes with Sleepiz indirectly through its diagnostic partnerships and vertically integrated care programs in the same patient pathway.
- Beddit (Apple): Apple's Beddit sleep tracker integrates into Apple Health. A consumer sleep-tracking incumbent with massive distribution via Apple ecosystem, though positioned for general wellness rather than clinical diagnostics.
- Philips (Respironics): Philips Respironics is a dominant incumbent in sleep diagnostics (Alice NightOne) and therapy. It competes on hospital-grade PSG alternatives and home sleep testing kits — Sleepiz's most established global competitor.
