We use Somnofy in both somatic and psychiatric care. Having objective sleep data is crucial. We love Somnofy and look forward to testing Guardian H10.

What is your experience with Vitalthings’ solutions?
– I first heard about Somnofy at a professional seminar in 2020, and by the following year, we were already using it. The first unit was implemented in a nursing home for a patient with behavioral challenges. The nursing home physician required us to assess the patient's sleep before taking any measures. Through Somnofy, we discovered that the patient was experiencing extreme pain in their legs and hips and had poor sleep quality. This crucial data came directly from Somnofy, says Kristoffersen.
How has Somnofy changed the way you work?
– We use Somnofy in both somatic and psychiatric care. Having objective sleep data is essential, and Somnofy provides that for us. Since we started using it, we have learned an incredible amount about sleep, and it has become a regular topic of discussion at work. We also hold several lectures on welfare technology for organizations and healthcare professionals. We often conclude these sessions by introducing Somnofy and saying; "now we are going to talk about one of the coolest things we know." We love Somnofy and look forward to testing Guardian H10, says Kristoffersen.
This spring, Somnofy will be replaced by Guardian H10. Designed for medical services, it will address even more needs in municipal healthcare.
Guardian H10 is built on the same technological platform as Guardian M10, without using cameras or body-worn sensors—making it less intrusive in terms of patient safety and user comfort.
– In the health service, there is a growing need to handle more complex patients in institutions, care homes and at home. With Guardian H10, we have developed a solution that enables proactive, early intervention and replaces manual supervision, as well as safeguarding the user's privacy, says CEO of Vitalthings, Bård Benum.
