XSmart opens early reservations for Sleepal AI Lamp after CES wins

By AI, Created 9:44 AM UTC, May 20, 2026, /AGP/ – XSmart has opened early reservations for the Sleepal AI Lamp, a contactless sleep-tracking device that won three CES 2026 Innovation Awards and is backed by PSG-validated testing. The launch targets consumers who want sleep monitoring and smart-home sleep features without wearing a device overnight.

Why it matters: - Sleepal aims to replace wearable sleep trackers with contactless monitoring, reducing friction for people who already struggle with sleep. - The system uses clinical validation against polysomnography, the sleep-lab gold standard, which could help build trust in consumer sleep tech. - The product also ties sleep tracking to automatic bedside actions, which broadens its use beyond passive measurement.

What happened: - XSmart opened early reservations for the Sleepal AI Lamp in Las Vegas on May 6, 2026. - The device received three CES 2026 Innovation Awards. - Sleepal tracks sleep without wearable devices and uses a contactless design. - The company posted the validation preprint on arXiv as 2604.16442. - The study, titled “The Breakthrough of Sleep: A Contactless Approach for Accurate Sleep Stage Detection Using the Sleepal AI Lamp,” was co-authored with Prof. Dr. Thomas Penzel of the World Sleep Society and Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin.

The details: - Sleepal combines 60 GHz millimeter-wave radar, thermal sensing, and environmental monitoring. - The system measures vital signs, sleep posture, room temperature, humidity, light, and acoustics. - The radar detects chest micro-movements as small as 0.1 mm and can capture respiration and heart rate through blankets. - The thermal array classifies sleep posture without optical imaging. - The device has no cameras. - AI processing happens locally at 3 TOPS. - A hardware kill switch cuts off the thermal and microphone sensors at the circuit level. - The patent-protected sensor fusion system is backed by 11 patents, including US 12241977B1. - In a 1,022-night hospital sleep-lab study versus PSG, Sleepal reached 92.77% sleep/wake accuracy, 77.2% four-stage classification accuracy, and 84.9% REM detection. - In patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea, Sleepal maintained 74.3% accuracy. - The AI model was trained on more than 2,000 PSG nights over 2.5 years. - The training set was designed to handle shared bedrooms, restless sleep, and breathing disruptions. - Core sleep-tracking features come at no extra cost. - Advanced analytics, including sleep staging, snoring detection, long-term trends, and personalized coaching, require an optional premium subscription.

Between the lines: - The PSG-backed numbers are designed to position Sleepal as a medical-grade alternative to consumer wearables, even though the product is still aimed at home use. - The local-processing architecture and camera-free design suggest privacy is a major part of the product pitch. - The focus on positional sleep apnea, circadian support, and smart-home automation shows XSmart wants Sleepal to act as both a monitor and an active sleep aid. - Founder and CEO Dian Fan said the company is trying to offer a “natural, scientific approach” that avoids the burden of wearables. - Fan previously led IoT platform operations at a Fortune 500 smart-home company, and XSmart says the team now includes nearly 100 people across radar engineering, RF design, algorithm development, and AI systems. - XSmart says the team had already shipped more than 1 million millimeter-wave radars before Sleepal. - Industrial designer Ningning Li, whose honors include iF Gold, Red Dot: Best of the Best, IDEA, and Good Design, designed the lamp with clean geometric forms.

What’s next: - Matter support is planned through a post-launch software update. - The update is expected to connect Sleepal with blinds, thermostats, and other smart-home devices. - Review units are available to qualified media and creators. - XSmart is inviting interview requests with Dian Fan through support@sleepal.ai. - More information is available on the company’s site.

The bottom line: - XSmart is trying to make contactless sleep tracking feel clinically credible, privacy-first, and useful enough to replace a wearable overnight.
