2022

Purchase of Cloud Cuddle Beds and ActiWatches for a trial with children suffering from Rhythmic Movement Disorder. The bed interrupts the rhythmic movements, thus giving children a restful night’s sleep, it also acts as a safety cocoon to prevent children from causing harm to themselves. The ActiWatches monitor each child’s sleep, enabling the clinicians to formally assess the impact of the trial.
