ResMed's New S+ Consumer Sleep Monitor Now Integrates With Apple HealthKit

SAN DIEGO, Nov. 18, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- ResMed (NYSE: RMD), a leading innovator in sleep, recently launched the all-new S+, the world's first non-contact, personal sleep monitoring device. ResMed today announced S+ availability through Apple retail stores in the United States and from the Apple Online Store (www.apple.com). The free S+ by ResMed App now integrates with Apple HealthKit in iOS8 to give consumers an easy-to-read, daily snapshot of their overall health and fitness. The user report can also be shared with health care providers.

"By integrating S+ with HealthKit, we're able to provide an easy way for Apple users to track, share and improve their own sleep habits," said Don Darkin, president, ResMed Sleep-Disordered Breathing business unit. "S+ is a sleek, portable, bedside device that tracks a person's sleep. When paired with Apple HealthKit, S+ provides a daily sleep score that can be viewed and shared in the same manner as calories, steps walked or miles ran."

S+ by ResMed sends sleep results, such as sleep patterns over time, hours slept during particular sleep cycles, and nightly sleep scores from 0 to 100, directly to Apple's Health App so the two become seamlessly integrated to give users a holistic view of their own sleep patterns and wellbeing. Should they choose to, S+ also offers consumers a quick and efficient way to share their sleep habits with physicians and healthcare providers.  

S+ by ResMed is now available for the suggested retail price of $149.99 at Apple, Bed Bath & Beyond^® and Best Buy retail stores in the United States, from the Apple Online Store (www.apple.com), and online at mySplus.com.
