A path to clinical evidence
01 / The vision
Sleep apnoea involves repeated interruptions to breathing during sleep. DOTVI is exploring how wearable signals could help make those patterns easier to understand.
Our long-term ambition is to turn overnight ECG, blood-oxygen and related physiological data into useful sleep-health insights, with evidence to support their use.
We’re building towards an experience that fits into the night: passive sensing, thoughtful analysis and a clearer route to appropriate clinical follow-up.

Wearable prototype researchMachine-learning research examines ECG, heart-rate variability and oxygen patterns in labelled sleep-study data.
Signal + model developmentA planned companion app would bring overnight patterns into a readable summary, subject to validation and the intended use.
Future app experiencePrototype feasibility, signal quality and clinical performance are separate milestones. Each needs its own evidence.

Companion-app development, clinical partnerships and regulatory planning.
A few clear answers
DOTVI is currently in research and prototype development. There is no consumer product available to purchase and no confirmed launch date.
Our ambition is to develop technology that can support sleep-apnoea assessment. Diagnostic performance, clinical validation and any required regulatory approvals remain future work. The current prototype is for research, not clinical decision-making.
The two-band concept explores maintaining ECG electrode contact without a user touching a sensor during the night. Signal quality, comfort and safety are being investigated; the final product design may change.
The next phase would support prototype engineering, wearable-data collection, model evaluation, app development and a clinical validation pathway. The scope and terms of any funding round would be discussed directly.
