The 'MST' works by keeping track of a person and pinpointing when they are having a [restless sleep](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rem). The device responds by [boosting humidity levels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/molekule-mo-glow) to help relieve the discomfort that can be caused by sleep apnea to take a more upstream approach to the sleep problem. Designed by Eyoel Tewdros and Oluwaseyi Amole, the 'MST' also keeps track of a variety of other data points including air quality and your movements throughout the night. This can help users to make better decisions when they are looking to treat sleep apnea rather than responding without too much consideration. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.5/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 61% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Health](https://www.trendhunter.com/health) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Sleep-tracking Humidifiers:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Develop advanced sleep-tracking humidifiers that can treat sleep apnea without the need for a CPAP machine. ### Who This Affects Most - **Healthcare:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Integrate sleep-tracking humidifiers into the healthcare industry to offer more effective solutions for sleep apnea treatment. - **Home Appliances:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Create smart home appliances that combine sleep-tracking and humidity control features for improved sleep quality. - **Wellness:** Disruptive innovation opportunity: Connect sleep-tracking humidifiers to wellness programs to help individuals better understand and manage their sleep health. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Energy-Restoring Sleep Aids](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zenu-mt-fuji.md) - [Contactless Smart Sleep Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/remwave-sleep.md) - [Sleep Apnea Management Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleep-apnea-management.md) - [Sleep Wellness Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blueair-sleep-collection.md) - [Sleep-Monitoring Pads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/isleepad.md) - [Snoring Correction Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleepmi-z3.md) - [Wearable Sleep Care Masks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkface-niteaura.md) - [Sleep Health Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sleeptopia.md) - [Sleep Aid Devices](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rem.md)
