On-device acoustic breathing-event detection · by SomniAI LLC

Breathing-event detection that runs on the device — and that you can verify yourself.

A 56.4 KB model that detects snoring and breathing events from a phone microphone. On-device, no cloud, audio never leaves the device — every night, in real time. Embeddable as an SDK, built by the person who wrote the algorithm.

Small is the point. No inference servers to run. No per-call cloud cost. No audio leaving the device. It's a file you embed.

  • Earbud / hearable hardware
  • Mattress & bed sensing
  • Smart bedside & ambient audio devices
  • Remote sleep screening & telehealth
  • Connected health & care platforms

Example categories — if one of these is what you're building, the breathing layer is a file away.

You feed it microphone frames. The production pipeline returns candidate acoustic events — labels, timestamps and confidence — running on the device via CoreML or TFLite. No inference backend is required. The pilot measures end-to-end behavior on your hardware and in your acoustic environment.

  • On-device — runs on the phone or the chip, not a server you pay per call
  • No cloud — the audio never leaves the device
  • Every night — designed to run continuously, not a one-off scan
  • Real-time — a live event stream, not a next-morning batch report

That last one is an opening, not a headline: a real-time stream is something your product can act on — whatever "act" means for your platform. We provide the detection layer; you own what happens next. ApneaSense is detection only; it doesn't respond, treat, or intervene.

RIGOROUS Run it on your own data

Three technical preprints, three MIT-licensed repos. The methodology, per-seed metrics and training code are public — bring your own corpus and confusion matrix. We'd rather you trusted your own numbers than ours.

SEE IT LIVE Watch it on your own breathing

SomniSense — our live consumer app — runs the production on-device detection pipeline every night. It shows how minute-level waveforms, detected regions, audio review and whole-night timelines consume that output. The app is productization evidence; your own-device pilot remains the integration benchmark.

01

Published task benchmark

94.29% for 1-second snore-segment classification and 88.49% for 200-second breathing-window classification, evaluated against PSG reference annotations across n=80 paired nights.

02

Production SDK output

The engine turns streaming audio into candidate event fields used by SomniSense: labels, timestamps, confidence, summaries and quality state. Those output fields are the production contract; they do not all inherit the window classifier's accuracy number.

03

Your-device pilot

Your microphones, rooms, placement and users change the operating conditions. A focused pilot measures system behavior in that environment before either side treats integration performance as established.

STRONG The reachable layer

  • Cheap, on-device, real-time, zero-contact — just a microphone
  • Runs every night without a clinic, a wearable, or a cloud bill
  • Validated against in-lab & ambulatory PSG (n=80)

HONEST What it isn't

  • An acoustic proxy — not airflow or blood-oxygen; PSG and continuous SpO₂ measure the physiological event more directly
  • A screening signal, not a diagnosis; not FDA-cleared
  • Precision-first — a conservative lower-bound estimate

The default first step isn't a contract — it's a focused pilot: your device, your environment, a few nights. Not a big commitment, not a long procurement. The pilot is where you benchmark it in your context.

If it proves out, then we pick the engagement that fits — an SDK license, an integration, or co-development. No pricing tiers, no packages; we scope it to what you're actually building.

The email goes to the founder of SomniAI LLC — who designed and implemented the detection algorithm, holds the pending US patent (PAT-001), and authored the three papers and open-source repos behind it. No SDR, no sales funnel.

That means faster answers, a real technical conversation, and a direct line from your engineering lead to the person who can actually change the model.

Tell us what you're building.

We'll send the paper, the code, and scope a small pilot — your device, a few nights.
