This month Netatmo, the French smart home company, hosted an event with lifestyle expert Limor Suss for the launch of the Healthy Home Coach device.

Note: I was invited as media to the event and received a product sample. However any personal views expressed are always 100% my own.


The event focus was how to keep homes healthy for you and your family by using the Healthy Home Coach, the innovative new indoor environmental information monitoring system.


Healthy Home Coach tracks and records indoor environmental elements –air quality, humidity, temperature and noise – and offers advice to improve indoor climate and keep things comfortable.

The device collects personalized data from your environment and provides actionable customized suggestions based on the season, the time of the day, the measurements or your user profiles. Then you decide when to adjust the humidifier, make a room heated or cooled properly, or that the sound in a child’s bedroom isn’t too loud for healthy sleep.


Using the App, any user can access the home’s indoor climate conditions from any location. With several Healthy Home Coach devices in the house, users can monitor the environment of all rooms on a single App.


Compatibility with Apple HomeKit, means you can also ask Siri how healthy your home is. You can also customize scenarios to connect a Healthy Home Coach with other smart devices according to different combinations. For example, windows open when the indoor air pollution is too high, or turning off the heat when the temperature becomes too warm.

The Healthy Home Coach retails for $99.99 and is compatible with iPhones featuring iOS 9 and above, and Android smartphones 4.2 and above.

You can purchase at Walmart, Best Buy, BabiesRUs, Amazon and on www.netatmo.com

Do you get enough sleep? I sure don't and it seems many of you don't either. This was actually a recent topic on the “The Dr. Oz Show” that lead to them launching a national sleep survey and offering a S+ by ResMed device to help people track, better understand and improve their sleep.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, 60% of Americans are not meeting their sleep needs. To help them (and me!), ResMed, the global leader in medical devices and digital connected care for the diagnosis, treatment and management of sleep apnea, has teamed up with “The Dr. Oz Show” to foster better public understanding of sleep health.

"Sleep is the most underappreciated health crisis in America," said Dr. Mehmet Oz, host of "The Dr. Oz Show." "Type 'Why am I' into Google and the first and most commonly searched terms are 'so tired' and 'always tired.' In our surveys, 42 percent of respondents sleep less than six hours a night. This partnership with ResMed is a great way for us to assess the sleep habits of our nation. Understanding public health patterns lets us build new pathways to wellness, and sleep is an area where we can make a huge difference.

As part of the campaign, you can participate and purchase an S+ by ResMed for only $50 (a $79.99 discount from the manufacturer’s suggested retail price), by redeeming a code through www.doctoroz.com or on the Sleep Score website.

S+ by ResMed is the world's first non-contact sleep tracker, which uses patented bio-motion sensors to measure your sleep stages and environment, and deliver personalized feedback that helps improve your sleep from the very first night. It monitors breathing patterns and body movements without requiring uncomfortable wristbands, mattress strips or electrodes. It also captures the light, noise and temperature levels in your room, and lets you log lifestyle factors that can affect sleep such as caffeine and exercise, to analyze patterns over time and deliver personalized sleep strategies.

If you enroll in the survey, you'll also be entered to win a dream vacation to the award-winning Six Senses Zil Pasyon Resort & Spa on private Felicite island in the Seychelles.

If you want better sleep, then enroll in the national sleep survey and get a S+ by ResMed to log your sleep scores and start to solve your sleep problems.
