Home-Based Sleep Staging with the Spica Platform

AI-Powered Sleep Analysis. Anywhere.

Spica enables remote, home-based sleep staging using wearable devices and artificial intelligence. Participants wear a compatible device overnight while the Spica app automatically collects physiological signals. Our deep learning engine analyzes the data and provides accurate sleep stage predictions in an intuitive research dashboard.

Clinically Validated
Secure & GDPR Compliant
Scalable for Large Studies

Results

The model performs well under cross-subject evaluation on two distinct datasets, indicating effective learning of subject-independent sleep patterns. The lower performance in the 4-class setting is mainly attributed to Deep Sleep class imbalance, as balancing methods were avoided to preserve temporal continuity. Cross-dataset results further demonstrate strong generalization across datasets, highlighting the robustness and transferability of the proposed approach.
