description SleepScore Overview

SleepScore distinguishes itself with its non-contact sleep tracking technology, utilizing your phone's camera to monitor breathing patterns and estimate sleep stages. This eliminates the need for wearables for basic tracking. The app provides a personalized SleepScore based on your data, along with actionable recommendations for improvement. While the technology is innovative, accuracy can be affected by environmental factors.

SleepScore offers a premium subscription for more detailed analysis and personalized coaching. It's a good option for those who prefer a non-wearable tracking solution.

help SleepScore FAQ

How does SleepScore track sleep without a wearable device?

The app uses your smartphone's microphone and speakers to bounce low-frequency sonar waves off your chest, detecting breathing patterns and movement. This technology allows it to monitor sleep stages without requiring an Apple Watch or Fitbit on your wrist. You simply place your phone on a bedside stand pointed toward your sleeping area.

Does SleepScore work on both iPhone and Android devices?

SleepScore is available on both iOS and Android, but it relies heavily on specific hardware capabilities for the sonar tracking to function properly. You need to ensure your phone is placed flat on a nightstand within a few feet of your upper body. Older phones with degraded speakers may struggle to emit the proper frequencies.

Is SleepScore free to use or does it require a subscription?

The app offers a limited free version that provides basic sleep tracking and a daily score. To access advanced insights, tailored advice, and historical data beyond a few days, you must upgrade to SleepScore Premium via a monthly or yearly subscription. The premium tier also integrates with Apple Health to sync your data.

How accurate is SleepScore compared to polysomnography?

While no app can match a clinical sleep study (polysomnography), SleepScore's sonar breathing detection is generally more accurate than standard accelerometers in older fitness trackers. It was validated using sleep data collected in real-world environments without requiring users to wear uncomfortable chest straps. However, it can occasionally misinterpret a restless pet or partner for human movement.
