This is a Wellness Force podcast interview (Sep 7, 2021) where Josh Trent interviews Amir Reuveny (founder/CEO of Wesper) about sleep technology and the Wesper sleep-health platform. Reuveny describes his technical background (PhD, flexible electronics; Cornell Tech), a personal catalyst (his father's positional moderate sleep apnea found during a pilot), and frames sleep apnea as a widespread, underdiagnosed health problem (about 30 million in the US; ~80% undiagnosed). Wesper is presented as a home, wireless patch + coaching platform with three components—assess (home sleep test + consult), therapy (focus on behavioral/non-medical options like positional therapy), and monitor (follow-up testing). The patch captures respiratory signals (breathing quality), sleep position, snoring, and heart rate; Reuveny cites validation vs. in-lab polysomnography with ~95% correlation (conference abstract, Sleep 2020) and a more recent unpublished study reporting ~98% correlation; a single night (≥~4 hours) can provide a diagnostic-quality report. Cash polysomnography costs are stated in the thousands (one hospital cited ~$6,000), motivating Wesper’s lower-cost/accessible offering (90-day unlimited plan). The interview emphasizes coaching, iterative testing, and behavior change (e.g., positional therapy belts) as core to improving sleep health.
