No camera. No microphone. Nothing to wear.
100× less power than a home Wi-Fi router.
Heart rate and breathing, every night, through the bedding.
Patrick and Clair both read 78 last night. Only one of them is unusual.
Illustration. The care team reads the measurements and decides what to do. The Essence is not an alarm and does not diagnose. In an emergency, call 911.
The same XKare app pairs with the Essence. Your care team reads the clinical record on their side; you see your own nights: sleep, breathing, resting heart rate and how settled the night was, each beside your recent ones. Sleep and readiness are shown as general wellness information, not as a diagnosis.
Two strips of tape, one cable to a USB plug. Then go to sleep.
About 1.5 metres from the floor, on your side of the bed. If you share the bed, left or right above you. If you sleep alone, the centre.
It does not have to sit high. Closer to the body, just above the mattress, keeps the cable out of sight.
Out of sight between the wall and the headboard, as long as the bed does not need to sit flush to the wall and the headboard is not a solid metal plate.
Radar physics in plain words, the peer-reviewed accuracy studies, FDA and international clearances, the outcomes record, and what we still do not have. Every figure names its source.

No. It is a prescription device, supplied through your doctor, care provider or remote-monitoring programme. If you want a wellness product for your own bedroom, without a prescription, that is Kardian Somily. It is a separate product, not the cleared device.
The care team that prescribed it. There is no camera and no microphone; the sensor reads movement, not pictures or sound.
It collects from the closest body. Mount it above your side of the bed, left or right, and it reads you. Two people, one sensor each, above each side, each linked to its own person by your care team. There is no app to set up: the Essence reports to your remote-monitoring team, not to your phone. Hugging or drifting over for a while is fine: if it picks up two sets of vital signs it pauses, and with thousands of readings a night, a couple of hours on the wrong side barely moves your baseline. See the two-sensor bedroom.
About 9.4 by 4.3 by 9.4 centimetres (3.7 by 1.7 by 3.7 inches), 120 grams. Wall-mounted above the bed. USB powered.
A wall socket for the USB plug and the communication module that comes with it. Your provider sets up the connection.
It transmits at less than a hundredth of the power of a typical home Wi-Fi router, and has been used in hospitals and nursing homes since 2021.
