I’ve been using the Zeo Mobile for a few months, and recently purchased a Resmed S+. It’s taken me ~3 weeks to fine tune its position such that my wife’s movement doesn’t interfere, but I think it almost there now… I have done a couple of comparison tests with the Zeo and it seems to roughly match up but not as well as I’d expect. However I dont know how much of the discrepancy is due to the S+ not being positioned properly!
I’ll gather some more data over the Christmas break and post it here.
Some general comments on the S+ from my experience so far:
PROS:
- Great user experience, flawless Bluetooth connectivity (Android phone)
- Microwave sensor is very impressive for a consumer device
- Resmed have obviously put a lot of work into it
CONS:
- Incredibly difficult to find ‘just the right’ positioning of the pod. I haven’t done a great deal to isolate the root cause of the issue, but it consistently thinks I’m awake for a total of ~1hr during the night when the Zeo (and my memory) says otherwise
- Setup and troubleshooting documentation from Resmed is very poor. They provide a ‘not to scale’ diagram of the ideal setup which is of little help, and the help section regarding setup issues is very scarce. In their defense I did receive a couple of good tips after contacting customer support, and they did offer to help fine tune setup if I send photos etc. My suggestion would be: provide detailed diagrams of setup requirements, a detailed troubleshooting guide, and some live feedback to the user as to the quality of the signal. The most frustrating thing is that you have to wait until the NEXT DAY to figure out how the change in setup affected sleep detection. Hence the incredibly cumbersome fine tuning process…
- No access to any raw data beyond the hypnogram and sleep stage breakdown (and temperature/light level)
Seems like a lot of cons, but really I’m quite happy with the S+. It has a lot of potential, so hopefully some of these issues can be fixed with firmware updates.
