Sleepiz AG (Ltd.) is a Zürich based startup with a mission to provide patient-centric disease
management through seamless integration of contactless monitoring into people’s homes.
Sleepiz leverages the power of sleep insights with a device that is simply placed on the
bedside table. The device operates in a non-contact fashion and measures movements
originating from heart contractions and breathing patterns, as well as body motions with
medical grade accuracy.
While currently focusing on respiratory illnesses, Sleepiz aims to improve people’s lives by
creating the future of healthcare. By making use of wireless millimeter wave technology,
sensor fusion and artificial intelligence, in the future Sleepiz will not only be able to diagnose
sleep disorders but also perform long-term monitoring. Thereby, the progression of
chronic diseases will be monitored to allow faster intervention and better treatment.
Sleepiz is touching lives without touching.
You will work to develop robust algorithms for vital signs estimation. Your main focus will be
to investigate strategies to estimate and characterize breathing and heart rate patterns for
processing a doppler radar signal. You will work to implement, test, maintain, and document
the best-performing algorithms in enterprise grade code, in close collaboration with the rest
of the signal processing team members and other stakeholders.
Sleepiz is seeking an intern for a period of 6 months. This internship is an industry academic
project with Innosuisse. You will participate in a project in collaboration between Swiss
Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (EMPA) and Sleepiz. Upon
successful completion of your internship, Sleepiz may offer you the opportunity to join our
team full-time.
