Europe spotlights Sleep Cycle's machine learning engineer, a standout woman in the thriving app sector
In the realm of sleep technology, Sleep Cycle, a leading sleep tracking application, has made a significant stride with the introduction of its latest feature, 'Who's Snoring?'. This feature, developed by Maria Larsson, a master's graduate in computer engineering with a focus on algorithms from Chalmers University of Technology, uses audio analysis and machine learning to identify and distinguish between individuals who are snoring during sleep.
Sleep Cycle, headquartered in Gothenburg and Stockholm, Sweden, prides itself on a strong representation of women in leadership roles and across their technology and product teams. This commitment to diversity was evident in Maria Larsson's selection for Apple's Simply Outstanding Women series, a testament to her exceptional work on the 'Who's Snoring?' feature.
The 'Who's Snoring?' feature complements Sleep Cycle's existing suite of tools, including Smart Alarm, sleep tracking, analysis, sleep music, and meditations. It provides users with a comprehensive sleep analysis and lets them know where the snoring is coming from, enhancing the app's capability to provide detailed sleep insights related to snoring patterns for multiple users sleeping in the same room.
Snoring can be a sign of obstructive sleep apnea and is linked to a wide range of other negative health-related issues. By identifying and analysing snoring patterns, Sleep Cycle aims to empower its users to take proactive steps towards improving their sleep quality and overall health.
The 'Who's snoring?' feature is now patented and is available exclusively for iOS users, with an initial launch on the iOS platform. For more information, please visit Sleep Cycle's website or contact Per Andersson or Malin Abrahamsson.

With millions of daily active users and over two billion nights analyzed in more than 150 countries, Sleep Cycle is undoubtedly making a significant impact in the lives of people worldwide.
The company's even gender distribution in leadership roles is a reflection of their active efforts to offer benefits and create a work environment appreciated by everyone, regardless of gender. Sleep Cycle is listed on Nasdaq Stockholm under the ticker SLEEP.
Artificial intelligence, driven by machine learning, is employed by Sleep Cycle to analyze snoring patterns, as seen in the newly launched 'Who's Snoring?' feature. This innovation in science and technology is integrated into the app's health-and-wellness and lifestyle focus, aiming to improve sleep quality and overall health for its users.
In line with their commitment to diversity and inclusion, Sleep Cycle, a leading player in the sleep technology sector, maintains an even gender distribution in their leadership roles, reflecting a strong presence of women in its team. This artistic representation aligns with their mission to empower everyone, regardless of gender, in their pursuit of better sleep and health.
