MISSION

Sleep is one of the single greatest determinants of our overall health. From mental health and cognitive performance to chronic conditions and neurodegenerative disease, sleep plays a major role in shaping our wellbeing. The only way to truly understand our sleep is to measure it comprehensively. Existing solutions either lack in data sophistication or suffer from the physical and financial burdens of sleeping in a lab.

fascia makes lab-quality sleep insights available from wherever you sleep

MISSION

SOLUTION

Our technology, developed at MIT, makes accessing comprehensive sleep data easier than ever before. Our wearable device prioritizes user comfort while matching the signals of burdensome lab equipment. Our machine learning models turn this complex physiological data into actionable insights for anyone seeking to better understand sleep.

RESEARCHERS

can make new breakthroughs by comprehensively measuring sleep outside the lab

ELITE

ATHLETES

get a deeper understanding of their sleep by directly measuring it, rather than relying on indirect measures like heart rate

HEALTHCARE

PROVIDERS

can make better informed health care decisions with holistic, at-a-glance insights about their patients’ health
