Robotic Bear Helps Quieten Snorers


The 'Jukusui-kun' (Deep Sleep) is a robotic pillow-like device in the shape of a polar bear that tries to help the more than 2 million patients who suffer from 'Sleep Apnea Syndrome' in Japan.

People who snore a lot can wear a pulse-oxygen meter attached to the hand which sends readings of the amount of oxygen in the blood to a terminal running a program with the persons vital statistics pre-programmed in.
