Sleep testing that comes home with you earns a TIME special mention

Sleep apnea — repeated pauses in breathing during sleep — often goes undiagnosed because testing has meant an uncomfortable night in a lab. Wesper's wearable system lets people collect clinical-grade sleep data at home over several nights instead, and TIME has named it a Special Mention on its Best Inventions of 2026 list. More nights of data, gathered in a person's own bed, can give doctors a fuller picture than a single lab night.
