    Overnight Sleep Habits for Aging Parents | Contactless Options for Caregivers

    Founder, Komori Care

    Families looking for a contactless read on an aging parent's nights usually want two things: a sense of sleep and rest patterns over time, and hardware that does not put a camera in the bedroom. This page is about general sleep habits and wellness, not medical monitoring, not fall detection, not safety alerting, and not "watching their health." If someone has an acute overnight medical risk, that conversation belongs with their clinician and a purpose-built care plan — not a consumer sleep gadget.

    Disclosure: I am Dovy, founder of Komori Care. Contactless bedside radar for sleep position, coming 2027, wellness only, not FDA-cleared. Komori Lite $399, Komori with base $799. One-press top button cuts sensing. Optional camera records to an encrypted SD card.

    Quick answer

    Pick by household fit:

    • OZI Sleep Tracker ($199, ozisleep.com): Under-the-sheet. Sleep stages, heart rate, breathing trends, movement. Multi-bed dashboard. No camera, no microphone, no subscription.
    • SlumberTek (from $99.99, asc.com/products/slumbertek): Under-mattress pressure sensing for bed presence and nighttime movement. Home Assistant today; ASC app in beta. No cameras, no wearables. Made in Woodinville, WA.
    • Livindi Bed Sensor ($130, livindi.com): Under-sheet sleep sensor. Heart rate, breathing rate, in/out of bed, sleep-quality report. Requires a Livindi tablet within about 20 feet plus a Livindi subscription (plans on the vendor site start around $19–$39/month depending on kit).
    • Withings Sleep Analyzer ($199.95): Established under-mattress mat. JMIR 2026 home study. One sleeper per mat.
    • Komori Care (coming 2027): Camera-free sleep position timeline. One-press top button cuts sensing. Optional camera to an encrypted SD card. Wellness only.

    We left out products whose primary pitch is fall detection, emergency response, or "monitor their health." Those are a different category.

    What this page is — and is not

    Useful questions:

    • Are nights looking shorter or more broken than last month?
    • Is time in bed drifting?
    • Does a contactless gadget beat a wearable they will not charge?

    Not this page:

    • Diagnosing a condition
    • Fall detection or seizure detection
    • Replacing a medical alert or in-person care
    • A bedroom camera "just in case"

    The aging-parent checklist is the longer buying rubric. This post is the contactless sleep-habits shortlist.

    OZI Sleep Tracker

    Under the sheet, USB power, iOS/Android. Movement-derived stages plus heart rate and breathing trends. Multi-bed dashboard if you are looking at more than one household member. $199, no subscription, HSA/FSA eligible per the vendor.

    More: ozisleep.com/products/ozi-sleep-tracker.

    SlumberTek

    Discreet under-mattress pressure mat. Presence, time away from bed, and movement patterns. Strong Home Assistant story (lights on a routine, not a medical escalation). From $99.99 on ASC's compare page. 30-night buy-back. Confirm current kit contents on asc.com/products/slumbertek.

    This is presence and sleep-adjacent automation, not a clinical monitor.

    Livindi Bed Sensor

    $130 accessory in the Livindi ecosystem. Under-sheet sleep and overnight heart/breathing trends. The tablet and monthly plan are required — the sensor does not stand alone. Vendor kits list Wi-Fi subscriptions from $19/month on some tiers and $39/month on Lite. Check the current bundle before you budget $130.

    More: livindi.com/products/livindi-bed-monitor.

    Withings Sleep Analyzer

    $199.95, no required subscription for core sleep data. One mat per sleeper. Good if you already like Withings and want a simple mat, not a multi-bed caregiver dashboard.

    Komori Care (coming 2027)

    Designed for a back/side/stomach timeline from bedside radar. Lite $399, with base $799. One-press top button cuts sensing. Optional camera records to an encrypted SD card — off unless you turn it on. Wellness only. Not a medical device and not a safety system. Waitlist.

    All of the shipping options above can run without a bedroom camera. Talk through data access with the person who sleeps there. A gadget they did not agree to gets unplugged.

    FAQ

    Is this a medical alert? No. None of these are replacements for a clinician, a care visit, or a certified medical-alert service.

    Can I see several people's nights in one app? OZI markets a multi-bed dashboard. Withings, SlumberTek, and Livindi are one sensor per bed.

    Does Komori ship now? No. Coming 2027. For something tonight: OZI, SlumberTek, or Withings.
