AutoSleep vs Viewers

AutoSleep is a sleep-tracking app for Apple Watch and iPhone that records sleep automatically in the background, without requiring the user to start or stop a session. It uses heart rate, motion, and (where available) blood oxygen and wrist temperature data to estimate sleep stages, sleep quality, and a running sleep debt total called the sleep bank. The app integrates with Apple Health and HomeKit, offers a smart alarm that wakes users during a lighter sleep phase, and includes an add-on companion app, AutoSnore, for snore detection. It is sold as a single one-time purchase on the App Store rather than a subscription, and processes data on-device rather than through a cloud account.

Viewers is a zero-footprint DICOM viewer and oncology specific Lesion Tracker, plus shared extension packages. It is designed to provide a seamless and efficient viewing experience for medical professionals, allowing them to focus on diagnosis and treatment. The software is built on top of the OHIF platform, ensuring a high level of customization and extensibility.

• One-time purchase price with no ongoing subscription fees
• Fully automatic tracking that does not require remembering to start or stop a sleep session
• Detailed metrics including sleep stages, SpO2, respiration rate, and wrist temperature on supported hardware
• On-device processing with no account or login required for basic use

• Highly customizable and extensible
• Seamless integration with existing healthcare systems
• Comprehensive Lesion Tracker for oncology workflows
• Zero-footprint architecture for easy deployment

• Requires an Apple Watch for automatic tracking; iPhone-only use is far more limited
• Advanced metrics like SpO2 and respiration depend on specific newer Apple Watch models
• Interface and terminology (sleep bank, sleep debt) have a learning curve for new users

• Limited support for non-DICOM formats
• Steep learning curve for non-technical users
• Limited mobile support
• Dependent on OHIF platform for updates and maintenance
