Survey:
A multinational survey, developed principally by Mark Kopmann, was conducted by us, the WSD development team, to gain a better understanding of the demands and desires of as many people as possible. You may view the survey here. A rather detailed market analysis was composed describing the results of the survey. Overall, the results of the survey showed that there is a great interest in our product, the Wristband Sleep Detector. The market analysis can be found here.¹
