Scientists develop pajamas that can detect sleep apnea — what that means for your rest

It's estimated that around 80% of sleep apnea cases in America remain undiagnosed. While current testing procedures are accurate, they're uncomfortable and sometimes hard to access. That could be about to change, with an unusual development in diagnostic tools: sleep apnea-detecting pajamas.

Created by a research team at Cambridge University, these smart pajamas are fitted with sensors at the neck and collar to monitor breathing patterns overnight. The data is then transferred to your phone for quick and easy diagnosis, no need for wires, face masks or overnight trips.
